We have had another great week with our gorgeous kakano children. Their independence continues to grow - thank you for your support in helping with this.
Reminders
School drop off time is now 8:30-9:00. School pick up time is 2:45-3:00. If it is wet, you will need to pick up from Kakano, please.
If you still have Lockdown reading packs or borrowed Chromebooks, they need to be returned ASAP
The drinking fountains are still out of action during Level 2. Please make sure your child comes to school with a drink bottle filled with water.
A message from Mrs Cato
We would like to seek feedback from parents about the COVID-19 "Learning from Home" experience over the COVID-19 Level 3 and 4 period. The link to the survey can be found here https://forms.gle/M6e3mZ2UBN5zKwAL6 The survey will remain open until 9pm on Wednesday 3 June. Please can you help us by completing this survey. Thanks.
We have tried to make the survey quick to complete and have a random draw for a $50 New World voucher for every 50 respondents ie If we can get 200 families to respond there will be 4 x $50 vouchers.
The first two prizewinners have been announced - respondent number 26 Mel Palomares and respondent number 58 Eunice Jung. Let's see if we can get at least another 50 responses in the next few days.
Learning in Week 8:
Literacy
Our focus this week is on retell. This needs to be done in sequence from the start of the book - what happened first, then, next, last. Retelling stories allows children to organise and describe events which enhances their understanding of what they have read.
Maths
We are continuing to explain how we solved a problem. When kids can explain their thinking, and the steps they took, they are better able to refine and improve their strategies. Meta-cognition (thinking about your thinking) is a key tool for learning.
Religious Education
This week we are learning how to recognise and respond to the Holy Spirit. How do our words and actions show the Holy Spirit is in us? The Holy Spirit helps us to do the right thing and treat others with kindness and respect.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. See you all tomorrow. Hopefully the sun will be out.
