Kia ora everyone!   I hope you have all enjoyed your long weekend!  This week will run fairly similar to last week, the only change being Ashley will now be working for some of the weekdays with the children who are in the "school bubble".

Kia ora everyone! We just wanted to thank all parents and caregivers for supporting Hōpara children this week with their online learning. It has been great seeing them uploading their work everyday, it gives us a real insight into what is happening at home and where to gage the tasks for the coming weeks. We have thoroughly enjoyed doing the YOUTUBE live sessions and seeing them interacting with each other.  It is important that your children continues to stay in a solid learning routine as we do not know when level 3 will be lifted. As you are aware next weeks learning tasks will not come out until Tuesday/Wednesday as we have Anzac day on Monday and Teacher only day on Tuesday. Have a wonderful weekend! Many thanks Ashley, Mr B and Linda
