Term 2 Week 5

 Week 5 (rima)

Talofa Kākano Whānau. 

This week is Samoan language week. Did you know that samoan is the third most spoken language in New Zealand.  


Another busy week in Kakano last week, on top of our normal week we also ran the Pentecost Liturgy.  We are so proud of how all our children participated in this. 

 


We have been donated a large amount of craft resources and the children have had loads of fun creating some amazing spider webs outside.  It was great to see the children working alongside each other to create this.  If someone got stuck in the web they would work together to get them free.

We also had a large amount of buttons and the children have been making their own jewellery.


If you are having a clear out at home and have anything you are disposing of please have a chat with one of the teachers, because your junk could be an amazing resource for the children.




The week ahead:

Monday - normal school day. Mrs Mines and Mrs Mareroa are away

Tuesday - normal school day. Mrs Mines and Mrs Mareroa are away

Wednesday - normal school day

Thursday - normal school day

Friday - sausage sizzle, juicy, library day


Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Kākano Teachers - Mrs. Mines, Mrs. Mareroa, Mrs. Thomson, and Whaea Shayla.

Welcome to Kakano 5!!! I hope you've all had a great break. A little bit about me: My name is Sany-Joy Mareroa. I have been at St Mary's for 2 years now and look forward to my third year here with this new class as Kakano 5! I grew up in Rotorua with my parents and younger sister. I really enjoy the outdoors, traveling and walking! I went to Dunedin to study teaching then worked in Auckland. I am so happy to be back here in Rotorua after 10 years and working at this amazing school!! Please don't hesitate to contact me during the year if you have any questions or concerns. I am always here to help. This blog will be updated every single week during the school term!

Holiday Reminders

What a wonderful and busy term we had!! All of the children deserve a restful holiday break! On the last day of school, a few items were sent home for the students to carry on their reading over the holidays. You will find this in a clear plastic sleeve in their book bags. All of the students will have: 4 books These are intended to be read by the children over the break. 2 books a week, just like if they were at school. These are books they haven't read before and may find them tricky, so adults can of course support them by reading the books to them first.  A sheet for Sunshine Classics This is an online activity tool that you can do on a computer or iPad. The login is the child's name as one word with a capital letter for the last name (they are all written on the sheet) The password is reading. I have assigned 2 books that you can work through with the children. They will need sound on the device to fully participate in and complete the activities. Please don't feel pre
