This resource is for children and whānau to access learning from home. Use the tabs along the top to navigate the different learning areas.
General information
Most sites here do not need children to know account / login details. The only one that you will need is Sunshine Online - username: pride password: pride1 Please email your child's teacher to provide support around logins and password information if required. ** email addresses are under the contact tab
The best way to contact your child's teacher is via email. We will try to respond to your email within 24 hours during learning and term times.
What to do at home:
Make it fun: If the learning is too hard or boring, it probably won’t be successful. Praise any attempts and be positive.
Down Time: Remember there is no expectation that your child sits at a desk from 9am to 3pm “doing” school work. An hour or two a day is plenty with lots of brain breaks and movement activities built in.
Routines: Children like routines and find things easier to cope with if they know what’s coming. Set up regular bedtimes, wake-up times and meal times as best you can. Create a timetable that works for you and your whānau.
Catch them being good: Remember that children need lots of praise for doing the right thing. Do your best to ignore the negative behaviours and really praise the good behaviours. You will get more of what you pay attention to.
We don’t expect you to be a teacher: Learn with, play with and enjoy time with your children. If a learning activity is creating tension, stop it before and come back to it at a later time when you are all feeling calm.
