Week 5, Lockdown 2021

To our amazing parents and caregivers,

We are sending this email to help and support you as you work alongside your child for online learning.

We would like to stress that it is most important for you to look after your's and your child's/rens well-being during this challenging time. We have planned a range of tasks for our tamariki and we want you only to complete the activities that are manageable within your household. We will be available via email if you have any queries regarding home learning and shall endeavor to get back to you as quickly as we can.

Online Meetings:

Your child will receive an email with a link to the Google Meet session on Sunday. This will be the same link every time.  We will post instructions for how to use Google Meet on our Blog.

Kahikatea kids have their sessions scheduled from 10 am to 10:30.

There are multiple places where you and your child can access online learning.

Our Class Blog will have the general weekly notices and you will also find the Overview for the week.

Our Team Site  (Kahikatea site) which is what our children use often will also have the overview on the home page. Within the children's google drive account, they will also have a copy in the Other Learning Areas Folder.

We are confident that you will navigate your way through these activities with ease with your child. But as mentioned before, please email us if you have any questions. We do need to check that you have received this initial email also, please send a brief reply to confirm that you did.

In the meantime, we wish you all the best while we are all in isolation with our loved ones. To our students, we are looking forward to seeing you on Monday online.  Please be kind to yourselves and to your family.

He Waka eke noa! We're all in this together!

Kahikatea Teachers: Tai Waititi, Jill Dinniss, Sophie Bowie, Lorette Tiedt and David Bach.

   Te Ahiahi Pai (Good Afternoon),  I hope you have been enjoying the sunshine and are feeling recharged as we head into our last week of Term 2.  We have had a busy term with a variety of events and activities. It felt fitting that last week we practiced Christian Meditation. It was led by Sister Rachel and Sister Ema from the Sisters of Compassion in Wellington.  During these sessions, children were asked to sit in  S ilence and  S tillness with a  S traight back and  S ay the word Maranatha to themselves, meaning 'Come Lord Jesus'. If you hear your child talking about the 4  S  words, this is what they are referring to.  Christian Meditation is something we are going to continue to practice as a school. It provides an opportunity to take a break and be still, in an otherwise very busy environment!  Things on this week: Wednesday   - Kapa Haka.                       - Principal's luncheon                      - Room 17 Library- please remember to bring your books to swap
