Snapshots of Home Learning so far this term

Kōtuku children are working so well from home, even with all the changes. Look at some of the fantastic work that has been happening so far this term:

Look at all this thoughtful ANZAC work from so many of our students!

Thomas has made an A-Z of things he loves about his home.

Skye has made a presentation on why cats purr:

And Kaitlyn has written about how her brother has been teaching her basketball skills. (We can't wait to see them in action back at school one day, Kaitlyn!)

In lockdown Blakes been teaching me how play basketball. It is very fun. I get up in the morning and go and play. Soon after that Blake will come. Blake has been teaching me how to shoot. I've been getting a lot of my shots in and I've been getting better everyday. Here's a photo of me shooting the basketball.

Farewell Kayden!

Thanks for making us the yummy chocolate cake Kayden! We hope you like your cards. We'll miss you!

How to stop spreading germs

We've been thinking about the Corona virus today, and learning about things we can do to stop spreading germs.

Have a look at some of our presentations to help ourselves and others remember what to do.

Midland Swimming

Huge congratulations to our Year 5 swimmers! They did an amazing job and made us extremely proud!

While they were swimming, the rest of Kōtuku class made a chocolate cake for morning tea. We had a great time cooking it and it worked really well - until we had to take it out of the cake tray. Oops! Still, the juniors LOVED their handful of cake crumbs......

Junior Sports Day

Last Friday, years 1 - 4 went to Awahono School for a Junior Sports Day. Children were numbered off one to seven and moved to their numbered activity. The activities included a gumboot throw, grass skis, sandpit search, obstacle course, high jump, moon jumping and a water activity. We finished the day off either in their playground or heated pool and loved it!

Kōtuku Café

We had a wonderful café day last Thursday! The children did everything from planning the signs, menu, ingredients, recipes, jobs for the day, order pads and tickets. On the day, everyone worked as a team to look after our guests and feed them the delicacies that they had made. Thank you everyone for your support for the Kōtuku Café.
