Mahi Kainga Week 2

Kia ora Koutou!

I hope you had a nice weekend, and find fun ways to learn and enjoy yourself this week.

Home learning is optional, but it won't hurt you to focus on your own learning goals. Goal setting, even while learning from home, is useful. If you DON'T do any of these home learning tasks, kei te pai. I hope you're busy learning other things, like art, or learning family stories, or helping with cooking or baking, making your bed, looking after your pets, going for lovely walks or bike rides, and so on.

I'm very happy to review your learning and give feedback. I'm finding remote planning difficult- so any ideas your have for home learning tasks are GREATLY APPRECIATED.

It looks like we'll be home learning for another wee while, so let's make the most of this unique time we have.

Parents: follow this link to “Ideas to help with reading, writing and maths at home” from the Ministry of Education.
