Midweek Blog

Welcome to the middle of another week!  It is hard to believe that we have now been in lockdown for 2 whole weeks!

Again, thank you for all you are doing at home supporting your child’s learning.  The teachers are loving the updates you are providing.


The Google chats are proving very successful and it is great for the children to see their friends and maintain relationships.


Please click on the link below to vote for what we should call our 2 No-Name Chicks.  


Vote for the chicks names!


We hope all is well with you and your families,


The Kākano Teachers


PS - If you would like to keep a collection of your child's work that they have done in lockdown in a pile, I am happy to stick it all into one of their books at school when we return. This is not compulsory, just an option. :-)
