Week 8 Term 3
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all the amazing dads, step-dads and grandads in Kakano 1, 2 and 3. We hope you’re having a wonderful day with family and getting spoilt rotten.
This week is Tongan language week. We will be looking at some phrases and songs in Tongan throughout the week.
Wow - three weeks left of term and it’s holiday time (not that we’re counting). We are continually amazed at how creative, friendly and supportive our Kakano children are. They constantly surprise us with their thoughts and actions. Help us to keep this momentum going over the next three weeks by making sure they are drinking plenty of water, eating healthily and getting lots of sleep.
Our Learning this week:
Religious Education
We are learning about privileges and responsibilities in our families, our school and our parish. Part of this is being able to demonstrate responsibility for our belongings. We will be working hard to show that we can do this throughout the day. At school I will be keeping my cubby and my school bag tidy, putting my jumper away when I take it off, putting away what I use throughout the day. We can also show responsibility at home by having chores to complete - putting my lunch box on the bench each night, hanging up my uniform, making my bed, putting my book bag into my school bag.
Literacy
Reading and writing use many of the same skills and strategies - sounding out, chunking words (breaking them into bits), making meaning, asking questions… This week we are going to explore how the things we are good at in phonics can be used in reading and writing etc.
Bring your gorgeous smile to Miss Ryan and say ‘Malo e lelei’
Mathematics
We are learning that the numbers in addition problems can be swapped around to make the maths easier. 3+24 gives the same answer as 24+3 but it’s much easier to put 24 in our heads and count on 3 more rather than the other way around. We will also be practising counting in ones and tens 0→ 100 and 100→0.
