Being Responsible HEROs

We have strong routines in Te Kākano and encourage the students to take responsibility for their morning jobs and belongings. 

Please let your child

• carry their own bag into school

• unpack their bag

• carry their own snack & bottle into the class

If you are pressed for time, please let us know and we are happy to step in.

Each morning the students 

• indicate how they are feeling by putting their photo on the Zones wall,

• drop off their drink bottle and snack

• put their reading folder in the box

Can your child independently open everything in their lunchbox?

One way to support your child at school is to: 

• snip the end or top off packets, or remove the items from the packets before they go in the lunchboxes

• put a small cut in the skin of fruit

• avoid plastic fruit/jelly containers that have covers to be pulled off

• make sure new lunch boxes & drink bottles are easy to open & close

We will pop a wee note in the lunchbox if your child has needed help to open an item.

Also, please name all containers and drink bottles. Children do not always recognise their own containers and we end up with a huge supply in a cupboard.
