Welcome to another week of online learning. Thank you to all of the families for supporting your children throughout these unprecedented times. It was lovely catching up with so many of you via video calls, seeing your beautiful smiles and hearing your gorgeous giggles - we miss being able to see you in person. It sounds like some fabulous things are happening in your homes and that you are all enjoying spending this quality time with one another.
We really appreciate all of the great parent stories uploaded onto Educa - they have been a
delight to read. Many have made us giggle with your antics and we are so proud of all your
efforts. We have been so excited that we would like to share them with Mr Macmillan - he
is going to be blown away with your creativity and all the learning you are doing at home. We
look forward to many more being uploaded this week.

There has been some talk of reopening schools at Level 3. Please be assured that as soon as
the official decision is announced by the Prime Minister, we will let our whole school community
know exactly what this entails. In the meantime, we remain at Alert Level 4 and school remains
online.

Show and Tell Video Chats
This week for our video chats we will be having show and tell. You can bring along an item, toy,
pet, song, skill, or something else to your video call. Be prepared to talk about what you
have and answer questions from your classmates.
Random groups will be assigned a day and time, so you can see and chat to others
- your teacher will be there too.
The choices are: Option A - 9:00-10:30, Option B - 11:00-12:30 or Option C - 1:30-3:00. Please, email me with the day and option that suits your bubble and I'll work up a timetable and
get back to you. If there are any issues around timing (e.g. you have online meetings etc) just
let me know and I'll try to work around it.

Literacy
Monday and Wednesday are reading focus days. On Tuesday and Thursday, we will focus on
writing. We will send out activities via Educa. Lexia will be used to support their literacy development. We don’t want to see kids on Lexia for more than 15 minutes a day. Our children learn better through real-world play and activity.
