Day 12 of Distance Learning:

Kia Ora Students, Parents/Caregivers and Whanau,

We have done it! Survived another week and day 12 of distance learning. Well done to all of you - parents/caregivers, students and whanau, i'm been so impressed and proud of the quality of work you have all been undertaking.

This week we read the big book Monster's Lunch and after doing big book activities all week, we ended our Friday with a Monster Dress up morning meets session. We had princesses, Batman, A pirate, Skelinator, a bird and a Monster Teacher. Parents: Could you please send in your costume photos to my email address so I can post them on this blog please?
