Today I am sending out Aroha to the families of students in Te Kakano. This is an unsettling time and I know that you will be doing all you can to keep your families safe and well. In the event of schools closing for a while the Ministry of Education have asked teachers to prepare material to support learning at home.
Here is what is available for your children.
- We have made up packs of 12 books for each student and you are most welcome to come in and pick these up if your children weren't at school today.
- Home Writing books for the 100 Writing Club were sent home last week. We encourage all students to practise writing their basic words and/or a sentence or two.
- Read stories together and talk about the meanings of interesting words.
- Basic sight word learning - continue this please
- Mathematics: Number games and counting practise [forwards and backwards to 10/20]; Fractions - quarters 1/4 and halves 1/2 - equal sharing of food.
Also I have been trying to make our Te Whare Kiwi website more functional. You should be able to access Reading Eggs, Math Seeds, Oxford Owl and Sunshine books online from this site.
If there is difficulty with logins the username and passwords for Sunshine Books and Oxford Owl is Paparore.
Please email me at robynd@paparore.school.nz if you have any other concerns or queries.
