Welcome Back to Term Two!

Kia Ora koutou! I hope everyone is safe and well in their bubbles.

A new term brings new learning adventures for us all. It has been fantastic to catch up with learners this morning via Seesaw.

Please remember that teaching and learning will look different to what we are used to during this period of time.

Both Nigel Latta and Nathan Wallis have said that this is the time to put the well being of our tamariki first. What this means for your family might look different to what it means for another family, and that's ok. Now is a time to be gentle with ourselves and support each other.

TVNZ has released today two television channels full of educational content, so you might also like to check these out.

Learning looks different for each child, and so, while I have set tasks for the whole class, you might chose to do one or two, or none, or all and then some. And each of these ways is absolutely fine. This is not a time to put extra stress on yourself or your tamariki.

Follow this link for this weeks learning tasks.

This is also a great time to be teaching the skills that help our tamariki in many ways, from fine motor skills, to self helps skills, through to being an active participant in our whānau. Below is a table with just a few ideas.
