Thank you to the parents who attended the Incredible Years Parenting course meeting. We are sure that you will love the course - we loved the teacher version. It’s really nice to be able to take time out to reflect and share your ideas and worries with others - parenting is a team sport.
Week 6 means that we are halfway through term 4! One of the great things about testing weeks is that we get the chance to look back to see where we started. Wow! Our Kakano 1, 2, 3 kids have really done some amazing learning this year. The teachers, kids and whanau of Kakano 1, 2, 3 are a pretty awesome team.
A wee shot from our first day. Look how little they are!
Religious Education
This week we are beginning our unit about Saints and inspiring people. It would be great if you could talk to your child about your favorite Saint (or a Saint whose name they might have been given at baptism) or a hero who shows the qualities of a Saint.
Mathematics
This week we are looking at fractions and sharing. We need to know how to find ½ and ¼ or a shape or a small set.
(Home hint: cutting mini pizzas, sharing treats and other food motivators are great - just ½ and ¼ ).
Literacy
We are learning to find and fix our own mistakes in reading and writing.
(Home hint: Don’t jump in too fast. Let your child read to the end of the sentence/page to see if they fix up arrows by themselves.)
No swimming this week or next week
The big kids have a Swim Rotorua Coach coming in to work with them.
