Not here to burst your bubble.. ;)

Kia ora everyone,

We hope you are all having a nice time at home in your bubbles. We have absolutely loved seeing some of the activities and work your children have been doing at home through Seesaw. We have also loved seeing their faces at our 11am zoom connect meetings. If lockdown continues these will be held at 11am every day next week via zoom. The link for this is posted on the school app every day. On Monday next week at 11am, we will host a special zoom interview with Ella Greenslade about her Olympic success.   

Schoolwork:

The work we have put up on Seesaw, Studyladder and on the Tūhura website is there to support your children's learning during the lockdown periods. We are very aware however that sometimes life gets in the way of doing these activities and we are putting no pressure on anyone to do them, just do what you can. We both believe there are huge learning opportunities to be gained in lockdown outside of just the activities we set, including doing things like baking or playing board games. 

On the website, you will find lots more than just maths and literacy tasks. There are also lots of fun activities like Zumba, a Scratch challenge and links to many other cool educational websites for you to check out. 

Here is the website link:

Your child's Scratch and Studyladder logins have been emailed to you and there is a login for your child's Seesaw in the learning packs we sent out.

We have missed hearing you child read, so please feel free to get them to themselves reading a book and upload onto seesaw.

Learning Packs:

Earlier in the week we put together learning packs for your children which contained lots of printed worksheets for them to complete. If you weren't able to pick these up from school they will have been posted out to you. 

The priority activity to complete in those packs is the 'Telling Your Story' worksheet as we will use this information for the next part of our inquiry. Otherwise, just do what you can from them.

Any of the work your child complete's you can post onto Seesaw for us to see. PLEASE hold onto your learning packs and completed worksheets so students can bring them back to school after lockdown.

Keep checking the school app for any announcements and information about changes around different alert levels.

We cannot stress enough that we are here to support you. So if you need anything at all please just get in touch. We are just an email away. 

Enjoy the weekend and let's see what next week brings.

From Holly, Paula and Lynn :)
