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.

Kia Ora Kākano Whānau,  We hope you all had a restful and Holy Easter weekend. This week is a short school week.  We have noticed many of our tamariki are tired as we race towards the end of the term.  It is important for children to have an early bedtime to ensure they are getting enough sleep as well as lunch boxes that are filled with brain food such as fruit, yoghurt, vege snacks and sandwiches. Thank you to the families who have donated spreads for the children to use as they make their own toast and to those who have donated tools, and building supplies for our carpentry area.  Your generosity is much appreciated. I (Whaea Shayla) am back at school this week and am so excited to see all of Kākano 7! I am looking forward to seeing their smiley faces and getting back into class and learning together. Not much is happening this week at school (apart from all our wonderful learning opportunities). Wednesday: Normal school day Thursday: Normal school day Friday: Library - please ensur
