 Kia Ora Kākano Whitu whānau! 

We have had a busy week of learning!

We have been looking at our zone of regulation and how to manage our emotions. We looked at the Green Zone, Blue Zone, Yellow Zone and Red Zone. We have drawn some cool emoji art for each zone, taken some pictures of our faces in each zone and also told a story about each zone! You will be able to see these either in class or on EDUCA by the end of the week! Take a look at some of our cool zone photos! 

Blue Zone: Sad, Tired, Bored and Sick! 

Green Zone: Happy, Ready for learning, focused and calm.


Yellow Zone: Frustrated, Irritated, Worried, Silly, Overexcited 


Red Zone: Angry, Terrified, Out of Control, Hitting/ Yelling 

Coping Strategies: Finger Breathing, Big Deep Breathes, Hugs, Talking to friends and Tissues for tears. 

Each zone is linked to an Inside Out Character so they have a visual. Talk to your child at home about which zone they are in and what they could do to get back to the green zone. 

I am so incredibly proud of how all of the tamariki are settled into class and their routines. Please keep encouraging them to be independent when coming to school and doing their jobs! 

Thank you so much for supporting our first aid Ice Block fundraiser this week. Today was the last day for ice blocks to be purchased for that but on Friday we still have our usual juicie and sausage sizzle for $1.50 each!

If you are in pompallier house (green) which is Sayrus and Bir from Kākano you get to wear your GREEN clothes this Friday all day instead of uniform for Golden Time! 

We have library day of Friday so please make sure library books come back to school so that they can pick 2 more book for the week! 

For the remainder of this term and term 4 we need to be wearing our FULL SUMMER UNIFORM. This means we wear full black school sandals! Then in term 2-3 we can wear covered in shoes! 


I hope you all have been having an amazing week!

Mid Week Updates: Term Three - Week One

Kia Ora Koutu,  We have been up to a lot this week already. Our students are busy little learners from the second they walk into Kākano. Play provocations are set up for the children from 8:30am - 9:00am and it is an important time for children to be involved in learning through play. Students need to be involved in this during this time. Teachers will be marking their rolls at 8:45am and if your child arrives after that time they will need to go to the office to sign in.  Changes in our space and learning:  On Monday our children got to explore our new learning and play spaces. Kākano 7 and 5 had a change around and we now get to mix and mingle with the Year 2 students as well.  By moving our classes around we have been able to make room for a really cool handmade kitchen for the children to play with. They have been loving cooking in the kitchen, using all the different play ingredients, washing the dishes and setting up the dinner table.  If you happen to have cleaned out your kitch

Kia Ora Kākano Whānau,  We have made it to the last week of term!! Last year, term one wasn’t so successful, as we had gone into lockdown after only 8 weeks. It has been a great term. All of the classes have settled well with their new teachers and we, the teachers, have loved getting to know all of the children and families. Thank you for your support during this term with various school and classroom events. Take a look at some of the photos from last week: We were lucky to Senior Constable Regan in to talk to the children about safety in the car. He talked about having the correct car seats in for the children as well as the importance of ALWAYS wearing your seatbelt. It is always great to have these community leaders come in and see the children for a casual chat so that the children know that these people are out there to help us. On Wednesday, some children will be selected to go to a Principal’s morning tea. There are only 3 children per class chosen each term. It is to recogni
