The Emcrashing is the sweetesDt sound
We'll Gtiptoe through the streets
And crDeep over the eaves And ruEmn across the roofs
 And hiDde from the police Our heGarts are picking pockets ouDt
 My darEmling don't you turn back noDw

some new songs for lockdown 2 April 2020 and mindset


day 3 level 3 30/4/2020











obstacle course ideas   for you and your whanau

CHALLENGE
 We have 24 hours allocated to each day due to the rotation of the earth on its axis. If you have a globe and torch, use these to show the tilt of the earth and how night turns to day. As an experiment to track the rotation of the earth, make your own flowerpot sundial using:
 • Lengths of cane, dowelling or strong plastic
 • Large flowerpots with labels to write on around the inside edge
 • Earth or sand
Place the cane in the flowerpot and fill the pot with sand to ensure that the cane is straight and secure. Position the flowerpot in a sunny location so that each hour, exactly on the hour, you see where the shadow crosses the pot cane and mark the time on the pot throughout one day e.g. 10:00, 11:00, etc. 


 TALK ABOUT
Investigate and talk about different changes that can take place within the natural world such as the seasons and living things like caterpillars, tadpoles and flowering plants.

 SHARE IT

 Draw a poster showing the life cycle of a frog or the ways that life is reproduced in plants and animals. Can you put this up in your window for others to see, or share it with family members via video chat?
 DID YOU KNOW?

 The Earth’s rotation is gradually slowing down? A day will last about 25 hours... 140 million years from now. The sun is so big that over one million earths could fit inside it!

“YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE SEASONS, OR THE WIND, BUT YOU CAN CHANGE YOURSELF. THAT IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE.” Jim Rohn
The moves are done over 16 beats (4 sets of 4), which then repeat:

 • Pat thighs (1-2), clap hands (3-4)
• Criss-cross hands: twice right over left (1-2), twice left over right (3-4)
• Knock fists together: twice right over left (1-2), then left over right (3-4)
 • Thumbs up: left out to the left (1-2), right to the right (3-4) Once you’ve got the basic pattern, you can try doing it at different speeds. (How fast can you go?) Don’t forget to try it along to this song with the whole family!

Ngā Kākano Syndicate information - Term 3, 2019
23rd July Kia ora whānau, Welcome back to term 3!
We hope you had lovely holidays with your children!
 Term 3 Learning: This term our main topic is “Change”.

 In each class, this may look different. One class might look at the changes of growing plants another might look at change through colour blending and art, while another might look at the weather or states of matter e.g freezing, melting and heating.

 Our Maths focus is Geometry and measurement along with our continuing numeracy work.
 The school value for Term 3 is Responsibility - Te Kawenga
 Pots for planting: Many classes are growing plants as part of their Change topic. If you have any plastic plant pots, yoghurt pottles, bottles or containers that would be suitable for growing in, please send them to school.
 If you are able to help with planting in your child’s class please let your child’s class teacher know.

 Clothing: This term is often notoriously cold! It is great if the children can wear layers of clothing. The mornings are cold but the classrooms can get very warm. The kids need to be able to take a layer off when they are warm and then layer up when they go outside for P.E and break times. We also ask that children have shoes they can manage themselves. The children often take their shoes off during the day for the library, PMP etc. and need to be able to put them on and do them up themselves. Winter illness and chicken pox: This is the time of year we get a lot of coughs and colds. If your child is sick, please keep them at home as this helps stop the illnesses spreading.

 We currently have a lot of children arriving each day sick and are having to send them home again.
 Arrival times and 3:00 pm pickup: It is very important for children to be at school just before 8:55 a.m. This gives them time to settle in and get organised for the day. When children are late in the morning, it often disrupts the learning of the class. Children need to be picked up from their classes at 3:00 p.m. If you are unable to pick your child up on time we have Funzone after school care in our school hall. Teachers are often out of their classrooms in meetings or have parent meetings in their classes so prompt pick up is important.

 Toys at school: We don’t recommend children bringing toys to school as they can get lost or broken however, there are times when toys are allowed in the classes. Some children are enjoying using their toys during their play in the class, other classes have a day when sharing of toys is allowed. Please check with your child’s class teacher to see what they prefer in their classroom.

 Loose Parts for play We would love some more items to enrich our play programme. Please see your child’s teacher if you have any of these items we would love them! Large and smaller cardboard tubes, long pipes and hoses Old swim noodles, large plastic containers, buckets, rubbish bins Large cable tubes. Planks of wood Old cutlery, plates, pots, kitchen things, cups, saucers, jug, teapot, tea set Netting, rope, baskets Natural resources – stones, acorns, shells, driftwood, wood Large pieces of fabric especially blue fabric, scarves Tall branches to make teepees, tree stumps Vinyl discs - LPs and CDs Old broken computers, printers, clocks, toasters, laminators, keyboards etc Wood and timber off cuts or driftwood Dolls, dolls houses, etc.

 We are looking forward to a busy and fun term in Ngā Kākano.

 Nga mihi, Wendy, Annie, Barb, Sue, Felicity, Carolyn, Shelley, Karina, Rebecca, Rose, Maria, and Michelle.
 Ngā Kākano team.
