Please sign the homework so your child can collect stickers towards a prize box reward after 20 nights of homework completion! • On Fridays – a homework learning book will come home with an activity and / or poem to learn and complete over the weekend. • We will also go to the library on Fridays and I have sewn some Library Book bags for the children.

  Term 3 / Week 1 26th July 2021 Dear Kakano Parents and caregivers, Welcome to Kakano 8! It has been a busy first day, so I finally have time to write our second blog post.

I love to dance, be creative and enjoy music and arts

A lovely warm welcome to our first five Kakano 8 students who are starting school this week! I can not wait to get to know all the children better as we begin this schooling journey together. This blog is where I will share weekly preparations and exciting updates as well as another way to communicate with parents. These blogs often have helpful reminders of what is happening each week and anything extra the children need to get organised with. Im not sure this blog post will format correctly so apologies if it looks a bit funny this first week! The teachers spent their holidays participating in professional learning and are keen to begin implementing our new learning with the children. We also have been busy changing things up in our classroom and are excited to see what the children think of their new space. What is happening this week… Monday: Normal school day Tuesday: Normal school day Wednesday: Normal school day Thursday: Matariki Liturgy 12:15 in the school hall (all
