  Welcome back to T3!  We hope you all had a restful holiday break. 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. The Kakano 5 space has also moved. Children will still put their bags and do their roll in the same place but our mat area and teaching area has moved through the big sliding doors next to the year twos!! We are very lucky to have such awesome big spaces for our learning and especially learning through play. This week we welcome Mrs Jane Trask to the Kākano whanau.   Mrs Trask and her new children will be working in the room just outside of Kākano.  We can't wait to welcome our new friends. A reminder of the RE art competition: A message from the PTA: PTA AGM The PTA AGM is scheduled for  7pm Wednesday 28 July - first week back Term Three - in the

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
