IMPORTANT Whanau INFORMATION

Learning

*Please support your child to develop 'Learner Agency'. This means teaching your child to be independent, resilient and taking ownership of their own learning. A good and simple example is for your child to carry their own bag.

*Poetry book goes home every week. Please read with your child to build fluency.

*Bring book bags to school every day and sign your child's reading log after reading with your child.

*Seesaw is an online platform where students share their learning. Please consider writing thoughtful comments about the learning done in class.

*At the end of every strand. RE books are taken home. Please discuss with your child the learning they have done and write a comment in the Comment box about what was discussed at home. Remember that you, as parents, are the first teacher

Food

*It is important to pack for your child a full and healthy morning tea and lunch to get them through the day.

*Bring fruits and veges every day. We will have a short 'fruit break' everyday before morning tea.

*Students are recommended to bring a water bottle which can be refilled at school.

*In order to reduce our waste at school, children will take home their lunch rubbish so that it can be part of your home recycling system. This is an opportunity to see what food has been eaten.
