Week 2 Update

What a wonderful week we are having in Kakano.  The teachers are so proud of how well the children have settled into school life.  All children are arriving at school remembering to do their morning jobs and are happy to say “Goodbye” to Mum and Dad.

Morning Jobs:

Please remember parents it is important for the children to carry their own school bags, mark their roll and put their Bookbag in the right box on their own.  It is great to see our tamariki becoming more independent each day.  Brain Breaks:Each morning at around 10 am we have a “Brain Break” to recharge our batteries.  During this time the children are able to select one piece of fruit from their lunch box to eat.  Please make sure your child has fruit in their lunchbox that they can eat for their “Brain Break”.  The children also have the option of drinking chilled milk provided by the school.

Kakano kids hard at work:

Lots of children have been creating with the Lego.  We have had boat builders, rocket engineers as well as architects hard at work this week.

The Mobilo is always fun to play with.  We have been using our measuring skills to see who can build the longest Mobilo vehicle.

The “Family Room” is a great spot to hang out and use your imagination.  We have been talking, negotiating and working together to create our own imagined worlds.  We have even been using the vacuum cleaner to keep our space clean and tidy.

We love to read!  It is great to relax and read on our own or read with a buddy, where we can talk about the awesome things we see in a book.

We are so lucky to have an amazing outdoor area we can play in!  The sandpit is a great place to play, dig and create with our friends.  The water has been lots of fun to play in on these hot days, we love to pour and mix the different colours and experiment with objects that float and sink.
