First week back at School for Term 2:

Kia Ora Everyone,

It was fantastic having most of the room 19 children back in class. We had a lot of fun finishing off our Swimming and Portrait Art work from Term 1, re-establishing our class rules and new hygiene practices, learning our spelling words for week 6 and 7 of Term 2 and getting back into the routines of school.

The children were re-learning to:

Care for our classroom and equipment
Was their hands for at least 20 seconds and dry their hands
Sanitize our hands, desks, doors and equipment
Cough and sneeze into our elbows
Keep 1 metre distances from our friends/peers and teachers
Keep our hands to ourselves
Be responsible for our equipment, lunch boxes, uniform, shoes and drink bottles

I have already sent home the spelling words for most children for week 6 and 7 - please make sure the children take the time to practice these and their sight words as often as they can. I will be sending out the list of sight words for each child in an email to you parents today (Sunday 24.05.20), it is important that the children practice and learn these as it helps them with reading and writing.

Soon I will be putting up the Learn, Create, Share presentation for Term 2's Topic: New Zealand History - A journey of discovery. Keep an eye out for that - it's going to be so much fun!

Have a great week, take care and be safe.

Week 6 Home Learning Timetable and Links:

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a wonderful first day back at week 6 of term 2.

Here is this weeks timetable link (for week 6) for those children who are still learning from home: timetable 

You will find the daily Google Meet Link for story time with Mr Kelly (everyday from 1.45 pm) here: Link

The morning meetings with Mrs Fox will be starting back this week on Wednesday the 20th of May 2020. Mrs Fox enjoyed meeting most of the families today. For those of you that were experiencing technical difficulties, we appreciate your patience and understanding, as we rectify these issues and juggle the distance learning activities. As we adjust to being back at school for most children, I'm sure you can understand that it will take some trial and error before we can get this new challenge streamlined.

Take care and continue to be safe.

Aroha nui,

 Gursaaj, I am so impressed with you and your families effort through out this challenging time of home distance learning. You have only been with Papakura Central School, such a short time, and yet I can see your eagerness to learn, your development and your progress already.

I look forward to our working together through the learn, create, share program as well as the other curriculum areas, to further foster and enhance your love of learning, that you have already shown.

I hope you have a terrific weekend, being safe and taking care.

Let's see Manvir's journey over the last 5 weeks: 

Manvir, it has been great to see you working hard and having fun over this challenging home distance learning period. It has certainly shown me, that you have quite a lot to show and express in your own colourful and dynamic way. You are such a thoughtful thinker, the way you create and share your divergent thinking, it is fantastic to see. I am so proud of you and mum for your hard work and persistent efforts. I look forward to working with you again in class (as of Monday the 18th of May 2020), through the learn, create, share program, and seeing the new ways you will learn to express your thoughts, feelings and point of view. 

I hope you have a great weekend, being safe, taking care and having fun. 

Aroha nui, 

Mrs Futcher :)
