Week 9 / Term 3 2020 - Kakano 8 Blog

 Week 9


Kia ora - this week is Maori language week -Te Reo o te Wiki!  Keep your eyes peeled for video clips of the children learning and using Te Reo and waiata in class. 


Reminders for this week:

Tuesday: Go for It 

Thursday: Library for Kakano 8 - Please bring your library books back before Thursday morning!


Friday: Teacher Only Day; school will be closed!


We have a lot going on in Kakano at the moment.


We are all busy caring for our little seedlings and are excited to see some have already sprouted.  You may have heard we are now all a part of the secret club called the Little Garden League.  The mission of our club is to encourage our children to grow and taste different vegetables.



Our eggs are not far away from hatching and we can't wait to see how many chicks we can grow.  We were very lucky last Friday to have Julian’s dad visit with the special light so we could see the chicks growing inside the egg.



Our play focus for the remainder of the term is Maths with a specific focus on Position and Orientation.  This will involve children learning to use the language of direction, make maps, follow instructions.  Some of the activities they will have the choice to be involved in are: learning positioning words, creating, completing and building mazes, hiding and finding objects, Beebots (using robots in a maze), map making.


As always we have lots of creativity happening in Kakano, the teachers are always so impressed with the persistence and creativity of our students.  We believe that it is not the final product that is important but the process the child undertakes when designing.  Being able to create, design, and build independently without adult intervention is a valuable skill all children are capable of.  We love seeing how proud the children are when they share their precious works of art with the teachers.  Check out some of the creativity that has been happening over the past few weeks.
