Kauri Whānau: Check Google Classroom

Posted on by
Kia ora everyone,

Can you please ask your Year 7 & 8 to check the Kauri Google Classroom. We have just added two new posts for them to check out. It would be great for the children in our team to get into the habit of checking their school email every couple of days, if they are not already doing so. Not for work at this stage - just keeping in touch and staying connected.

Many thanks

Kauri Whānau connecting in the holidays

Kia ora everyone,

We hope that all is well in your bubble. It has been great to see so many of our tamariki engaging in our connecting activity that is posted on the Kauri Google Classroom. There is still time to send in photos and to guess who is doing what, especially for the more recently added photos. I will leave the activity to run through today, Saturday, and will post answers tomorrow, Sunday. So far one person has only made one error with their guesses, pretty jolly impressive! Encourage your child to get involved if they haven't already. Below are a couple of sample slides from the Google Classroom post.

Kauri Whānau connecting in the holidays

Kia ora everyone,

In these extraordinary times it is really important to stay connected. We have recorded some videos and put a fun activity together so that all of our Year 7 & 8s can keep in touch. Please let your child know that they can go onto the Kauri Google Classroom to access the presentation we have put together for them. (It is not work!) We have also uploaded a google form for them to fill in for leadership points in term 1.

Take care

Holiday Greetings 31 March 2020

Kia ora, dear tamariki and whānau in the Koru team,

We wanted to check in on you all, and find out how you're doing, and what you've been up to.

We hope you all had a great first day of the holidays yesterday, albeit a day spent, no doubt, mostly indoors because of the miserable weather. Didn't that just make today's glorious weather even more so, though?!

Jo's been fitting in lots of yoga, and who's that there on either side, with their own little yoga mats set up?!
How cute is that?

...and little Vito is finding the new intensive training and exercise regime to be extremely rewarding!
Am I a good boy? Am I? Am I? Yes, you are, Vito!


We would love to find out what you've all been up to over these past few days, so we thought it might be fun if you were to email a photo through to us, showing something that you've enjoyed doing, then we could add these photos to our next Blog post. That way, all the children would be able to see what their Koru friends have been up to.
These photos would need to be sent to either Jo or Elizabeth by the end of Friday this week (April 3rd).
Jo's email: jo.smith@beckenham.school.nz
Elizabeth's email: elizabethgail.drummond@beckenham.school.nz

We can't wait to hear from you!
Ngā mihi mahana ki a koutou,
Jo and Elizabeth
