Week 2 Term 2 Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences

 Week 2 Term 2 Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences

We have Three-Way Conferences (for Parent/Student/Teacher) scheduled for Tuesday 10 May and Wednesday 11 May. Families can choose the day that will work best for them. 

Students and their parent(s) need to attend a 10-minute appointment on one of these two days. Details are provided below for how to make an appointment.  

Appointments available

Tuesday 10 May 3.15 - 6.45pm

Wednesday 11 May 3.15 - 5.35pm

How to make a booking

Bookings are now open. How do parents make a booking for their child's Three-Way Conference?

There are a number of ways bookings can be made. Either:

1) Go to the School App and then the Links section then School Interviews. Enter the code akwma

2)  Go to www.schoolinterviews.co.nz and enter the event code akwma

When making the booking parents will get the following message: 

Thank you for booking an appointment for our Term 2 Parent/Student/Teacher Conferences. Ten minutes is allowed for each appointment. If you are late for your appointment you are likely to be asked to rebook for another time. This is because the class teacher needs to consider the bookings made by other families and keep to the times they have booked for. We look forward to seeing you and your child at the conference.

Term One Week Eleven Notices

Hi Kākano 7 family and friends

I am so excited that all going well I should be back at school tomorrow.  Covid struck my children and then after isolating with them I had a positive test. My son Zak spent his 12th birthday in isolation and on the night of his birthday tested positive, a great birthday present!  I have missed my class so much and can't wait to see their smiling faces in the morning.  It is amazing to think we have come to the end of our first term together, our last school day is Thursday and we finish at the normal time of 2:50. We have managed to fit in a lot of learning and fun despite Covid making an appearance in our class and school. Fingers crossed next term has fewer interruptions.

We continue to be safe in and around our classroom, sanitising and washing down surfaces to ensure everyone feels safe in Kākano. Please remember if your child is unwell they need to stay at home. 

Holy Week

Today marks the start of Holy Week, with today being Palm Sunday.  We will continue to learn about the events that take place during this week at school.  We have a Liturgy on Thursday that we will attend in our classes. There are Masses taking place this week and next weekend. Unfortunately, we still cannot attend Mass as a school, it would be great to see families attend Mass together. 

Winter Uniforms

After the holidays, children are expected to be in their winter uniforms. Please note that boys can now wear long sleeve polo shirts instead of the skivvy. Our uniform hours are Monday and Friday from 8.30 to 9.00 am and Wednesdays from 2.30 pm to 3.00 pm. You can purchase uniforms online by going to the school website. Once the online order has been put together, you will be able to pick up your uniform from the School Office.

Swimming

Kakano 7 is swimming all this week. Please bring your togs every day.

The week ahead:

Monday - gymnastics in the hall (bring shorts) K7 swimming

Tuesday - K7 swimming

Wednesday - K7 swimming

Thursday - K7 swimming, Last Day Of School!

Enjoy this lovely weather today

 Kia ora whānau

There are only two more weeks left of this school term and it is so great to see nearly all of our students and staff at school and keeping well! We continue to be safe in and around our classroom to ensure everyone feels comfortable every day in Kākano.

Easter

We have some special learning happening for the children to help them prepare for Holy Week next week. Firstly they will be told the Palm Sunday story and we will have a sort of donkey parade to celebrate this. We will also be talking about The Last Supper, the Washing of the Feet, and the Stations of the Cross.

It is important to teach all of our tamariki about what the week leading up to Easter Sunday is really about. This video could be very helpful to show your children and help you remember what HOLY WEEK is about and why it is important that we recognise and celebrate the days leading up to Easter Sunday.
