Term 2 Week 3

Term 2 Week 3🌞

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!

Myself and Mrs Thomson will be returning to school to support the children returning and 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.
