Term 3 - First Day Back in Te Kākano :)

As always, we have had an awesome day in Te Kākano.

We started the day by welcoming all new pupils and their whanau with our 'Mihi Whakatau' with the whole school in the whare hui.

We have played with our friends at break times and enjoyed great lessons together :)

We slurped our milk and shared our news and ideas - Shjon wanted me to let you know that

"We have had an excellent day!"

We love our Lily pads :)

Laura and Renae created great works of art with gardens, worms and 

rainbows - awesome!

We are TeKākano - We are awesome!

Building Together :)

As part of our Maths rotations, pupils can choose from a range of activities that support developing maths skills.

3D Lego creations have been a favourite choice for many children including Kaiden and Bella.

Lots of conversations and sharing of ideas - always great to listen in on :)

Look at my name - I used pegs!

Karlie was really impressed with Laura's earlier work on the peg boards.  So much so she created her own name using the pegs and felt very proud of her design :)

Nice job Karlie!

In A Dark, Dark Wood, there was a................great class assembly!

Most of us are familiar with the famous tale of the dark, dark wood, path, house, stair, room, cupboard and box BUT wait until you see what we found inside our box!

Be prepared to be amazed...
