Term 2 Week 7 2020

Thank you Nana Ngaire!

This week all of the students and teachers received a lovely big Easter Egg surprise. This card created jointly with Te Pihi students sums up how we feel about one of our fabulous, caring grandmothers and her whanau.

On Friday we had a whole school assembly via Google Hangout.  We went into Te Pihi and used their smart board. We said our School Vision statement together. We could see and hear Sir giving out the certificates it was really cool. 

This week's class certificate winners are Indi and Nathanael who are learning stars.

 Halo received the Values Award for Integrity/Ngakau.

Halo and Levi from Te Pihi. Well Done to you both!

 Isaiah has done 75 nights of home reading. Woo hoo!!

The tickets for the Monster Raffle Draw were drawn during our assembly. Halo from Te Kakano had the winning ticket. Congratulations to Halo, her big sister Khloe and their whanau. We are very happy for you!  

Back to school Term 2 Week 6

What has happened to Te Kakano's classroom?

Like many things at school this week our classroom was different. School started and finished earlier, we did our reading on the iPads and ate in the classroom. We were very, very good at staying in our square bubbles and completing learning activities independently. Way to go Te Kakano!! Not many of us came back to school this week and we are looking forward to the time when everyone is here again. 

Super Heroes:

1. save the day
2. save the world
3. keep others from danger 

These little super heroes are keeping others safe from the Corona Virus by social distancing in the classroom and playground. Isaiah, Tahli, Nathanael and Shaylyn, you are doing a great job!

Di'Andre, Indi and Jayden know that Covid-19 is easy to catch and they have been very careful by washing their hands, sanitizing when they enter and leave the classroom, and not getting too close to others. They are super duper SUPER HEROES!!

We also had to have Friday certificate assembly in our classrooms.

25 Nights of Reading for Jayden and 25 Nights of Writing for Isaiah

Indi and Nathanael - 50 and 75 Nights of Reading
Di'Andre and Isaiah - 50 Nights of Reading

Values award for Excellence/Hiranga goes to Tahli. Tino pai!

Chocolates for values tokens! You all deserve them! Ka pai to mahi!

Our wonderful Caught Being Good students, Indi and Nathanael. Super Hero Kids!!

So while life continues to be different for a little longer, we will continue to take up the challenge of being 'super heroes' keeping ourselves and others safe. Ka kite ano, take care, be safe and be kind!

Back to school at Covid-19 Level 2 Preview

Some students will be coming back to school this week. Here is a sneaky peek at what our classroom looks like now. Even though you are coming back to school, learning in our classroom will be a bit different than before. We have made square bubble spaces to make sure you keep safe and healthy. Can you spot Witana the weta? He likes the new set-up and can't wait for you all to arrive on Monday. I hope you like it too. 

 Don't forget to sanitize every time you come in and go out of the classroom. 

Term 2, Week 5 Online Learning Champions

Congratulations to our Week 5 certificate winners! You ROCK!!

Starting School with Harold!

How are all my lovely Te Kakano students feeling about starting school for the first time, or going back to school after being in your family bubbles for many weeks? Harold wants to tell you it's going to be okay!

This video is especially for Mia, Nova, April, Anahera and Liam who will be starting school very soon for the very first time.

Online Champions!

Congratulations to our Week 4 certificate winners. You have all achieved so much learning during 'Lockdown.' 

Bubble Birthdays

Happy Birthday April, Anahera and Liam, our brand new students

who have all had 'Lockdown Birthdays' at home in their bubbles. 

We all look forward to seeing you at school when we get back. You will all have to stand up in assembly and the whole school will sing to you!!

"Hari huritau, kia koutou" from us all in Te Kakano. Here Jayden, Grayson and Thomas made monster cookies which I know they would love to have shared with you.
