Term 2 Week 1

Welcome back to Term 2 2020.  It’s a wee bit different this term - we have had to make

some changes.  This term our concept is ADAPTABILITY - how and why do things change. We will send a Bingo Board of activities for you each week. It is not expected that you will complete ALL activities every week. Have a go at 3-4 in the week and be sure to share some of your learning to Educa.  

Learning activities will be posted to Educa for you and your child to access. The class blog will be used to share nuts and bolts information with parents and to celebrate home learning success.  Teachers will be contacting students over the next little while. We want to touch base, see how you are going and how we can help. If you have any questions or queries check the blog/Educa and then email your class teacher. We are here to help. 

Literacy

Monday and Wednesday are reading focus days.  On Tuesday and Thursday, we will focus on writing. We will send home some little activities and ideas for you to use the reading

resources we sent home at the end of term 1. You will also receive ideas about how to encourage your child to write at home. Lexia will be used to support their literacy development. We don’t want to see kids on Lexia for more than 15 minutes a day. Our children learn better through real-world play and activity.

Maths

We will include a maths challenge in the bingo board of activities each week. You also have Maths Whizz to support maths learning and development. Again, we don’t want to see kids on Maths Whizz for more than 15 minutes a day. There are many play activities that encourage and develop maths thinking. 

RE

We always begin our day with a prayer.  This week we are going to write a grateful litany. A grateful litany is like a list of all the things that we want to say Thank you for.  Each line says “For… Thank you, God”. Can you write one line each day this week. Share this prayer with your teacher so that they can make a class litany to share.

Birthdays
We wish Aryaa, Agnes, Julian, James, and Hayden a great big Happy Birthday.  These children all have celebrated there 6th Birthdays over the Holiday break.  We will have one big celebration when we are back at school.  These children will all get there special birthday cupcake on our return.

We miss all of the beautiful smiling faces of our Kakano students. Please, let us know if you need any support or guidance. We look forward to working alongside you in this unusual learning adventure.
