Week 4

I want to thank all of our families who are supporting the learning at

home, it has been amazing to see what the children have been getting up to

and all of the learning that is happening.

This week in Kakano, 8 new children and their teacher, Mrs Susie Bye, are

starting in Kakano 7.  Obviously, their start to school is different from

the norm, but we still welcome them all to our Kakano family and can't

wait to all be at school so we can welcome them properly.

This is how your week will go for "Home Learning"

Bingo Board: This will be shared with families at the start of the week

and has a variety of different 'play' provocations you can do with your

child.  The Bingo Board represents the play and learning we do in Kakano

each week.

RE: At the start of the week an RE activity will be shared with all our

families.  It would be great if you could share the RE work you are doing

at home with your children on Educa.

Maths: Each day a new Maths game or challenge will be shared on Educa. 

These activities are aimed to support your child's understanding of how

numbers work.  Maths-Whizz is also a great online tool to use for maths.

Reading: Monday and Wednesday are reading days at school, and these are

the days the teachers will share reading activities to do at home.  You

can encourage your child to read every day at home, this might mean they

are rereading books that they are familiar with or that you are reading a

favourite book to them.  We know that when children read the same book

they are practising reading skills and the more we practise a skill, the

better we get.

Writing: Tuesday and Thursday are our writing days.  I have been so

impressed with the way children are sharing their wonderful writing

ideas.  Sharing our ideas is one of the most important parts of the

writing process.  Lexia can also be used to support our reading and

writing skills.

Poem: The poem each week aims to support children practise their reading

skills and we will always try to add a fun activity to go alongside the

poem.

What have our friends been doing:

Check out some of the learning the children in Kakano 4 have been sharing

with me from the past few weeks:

Neena and her sister doing some Yoga.

Charlie's name hunt.

Keely making a bird feeder

Braith's buzzy bee.

James working hard to find as many triangles as possible.  James found 28 different triangle.  There is 36 different triangle in this picture.

I hope everyone has an amazing week.  Remember I am back at school so if you would like new reading books please let me know and I can get them organised.
