We hope you had a lovely long weekend. We are so lucky with this weather so we can get
outside to play and exercise.

This week is a shorter week. Tomorrow is a teacher only day, this is so teachers can
prepare the classrooms to work with social distancing. Online learning will be posted again
on Wednesday, so a short week. Once again thank you to all the families for supporting
your children on this journey we are taking. We understand it is difficult, especially with our
young ones! As teachers we are missing the children and last week it was great to connect
with a large group in our video chat, we think it worked well and will invite families to join us
again this week. We also love seeing what the children are up to so thank you to all who are
posting pictures and stories on Educa or sending us emails with what the children have
been up to. Remember there is so much learning that can happen in everyday life just with
conversations about what you are doing or allowing children to help cook dinner, bake,
decide where a walk may take the family, or just playing with their toys.
A reminder of our weekly timetable during the online learning period:
Wednesday - Reading Focus
Thursday - Writing Focus
Friday - Poem
Bingo Board - a choice of nine activities that you can do with your children throughout the
week. These cover a range of curriculum areas which reflect the play provocations that we
do in Kakano during normal class times.
RE - Our focus for RE this week is Sacraments. This week if you could send a photo of your
child’s Baptism and talk to them about their special day. We will form a special display with
these photos when we return to school.
Maths - We will set up a problem and some games for the children to work on for the week.
Just remember you are doing an amazing job with your children and please let us know if
you require any help!
Sany-Joy (Mrs Mareroa) and I will be returning to school to support the children returning
and Sara (Mrs Mines) will be posting work on Educa for the children. We are all still
available during normal school hours. It is a good idea to reach us via email first and we can
give you a call if needed.
Thank you again for all of your help.
We hope that you have another great week.
