I went for a walk this morning to clear the cobwebs out of my head. I saw two of our neighbours enjoying the fresh air too.  It's lucky I live in the country so I can just walk along our country road.

I have  seen more resources I wanted to share with you all.

Term 1, week 9

Kia Ora  Whanau,

How are you all?? These are very uncertain times for the tamariki and you.

We have learning packs available at the  school office to be collected so we can support you. If you need anything please email me.

louise@kaikohewest.school.nz or 0275004575.

I can add helpful links every week  when you run out of ideas or mahi.

The reading mama worksheets  This is a fantastic site that I  regularly use for  ideas or inspiration.

https://www.storylineonline.net/  this is a fantastic site that tamariki in room 14 love listening to. Maybe you could ask  your child what is their favourite story??

I  took a photo of the last certificates  I gave out in week 9.

Peter with his attendance certificate, he  received another red iceblock for 5 out of 5 days attendance in week 8.
Hayze received a welcome to room 14 certificate.

Take care, be safe, stay home, be kind.

Wonderful learning coaches in room 14

Term 1. week 7

Kia Ora Whanau/Caregivers

It's been a very busy and hectic week in room 14. Whaea Tiny has settled in nicely and has made  lovely relationships with the tamariki and their whanau.

On Friday I captured Whaea Tiny and Peter working together.  Peter was keen to work alongside Whaea Tiny while she was  cutting out their name labels to go on their water bottles.

Peter and Kopa are learning about number bonds to 5.

Whaea Rhonda is working with Drea learning to read lots of words at essential list 1.

Whaea Tiny and Peter  have  established a great working relationship in room 14.

I am so lucky to have so many wonderful adults helping the tamariki in room 14. 

Have a great week

This week we had another new entrant come for a  school visit in room 14.
Waimirirangi came for a visit  with her Dad, Nana and cousin Jahneequa. Falcon started in room 14 on Monday. He was super excited to  make new friends and start his learning journey!

Whaea Koryna comes in daily to room 14  to share  her Te reo knowledge with the tamariki. We are learning  He Ngeru tenei? we answer He Ngeru tena.

Room 14 are becoming so confident speaking the maori alphabet.

Waimirirangi having fun with Che'la and Dad!

Falcon made a tall tower with lots of blocks.
