Week 10 Term 4 2020 - That's all folks

 It’s going to be another busy few days but we've got this. A huge thank you to all of our wonderful parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters who helped us through the year. It's been a weird one but your caring and support really helped. Kakano 3 are a wonderful group of people to work with. Every day, with these kids, has brought something to celebrate, something to inspire and an endless supply of giggles.

Some of my 2020 highlights ...

- Brae's incredible Titanic and how confidently he spoke at assembly about it (Wonder)

- Wairanaki bravely taking the stage at Ahurei and rocking it (Courage)

- Listening to Mason, Ryan, Rayden and Hayden chatting on Zoom. So many lockdown laughs - I'm glad I could mute my own mic, too. (so much JOY)

- The way Madeline, Summer and Arabella chatted so confidently on Zoom AND made sure that others were included in the chat (Respect)

- Isabella's brilliant story about a space adventure (Excellence)

- The way Carlos, Bourneton, Beaude, Luke, Alexa and Sierra patiently help their friends with tricky work or when they're feeling low (Respect)

- The perseverance shown by Anthony, Rian, Lewis, Aarav and Mateo. You never give up. (Excellence)

- The bravery shown by Carol, Arianne and Zique when they started to share their thinking at maths time. (Excellence)

...and sooooooo many more. You really do show us what our school values look like.
