Welcome Back. Term 3 Week 1

Welcome back to Term 3!!

We hope that you have had a great break and holiday.

We come back to school as we ended last term. A reminder:

School gates are open from 8:15am. It was so great to have the children independently

walking into class and follow the morning routines last term. The teachers are always

available to talk with parents and families, but please remember that from 8:30 we are

setting up play provocations and supporting the children with their morning activities. We

welcome you to come and see us, the teachers, at the end of the day as well.

The end of the day bell rings at 2:45pm for Kakano. The students can either be picked up

from class or they can walk to meet you at the desired gate. Please let the classroom

teacher know which gate you would like them to meet you at if they are being picked up there.

In week 2 we will be having the Three Way Student/Parent/Teacher Conferences. You will

be able to book a time to see the classroom teacher online. School reports will be sent out

at the end of this week. The three way conferences will give you time to talk about the

reports and to come up with goals for Term 3. We look forward to meeting with every family!!

This term we will also be starting Go4it. This is a health and PE programme taken by an

instructor with the support of the classroom teacher. Each class will have a Go4it session

once a week.

Remember to bring your reading logs back by Wednesday this week to ensure you are in

the draw for the reading log prizes!!!!!

Enjoy the last day of your holiday in the sun! 

See you all tomorrow :)
