Week one in Miss Harris' Home Room.



We have welcomed some new friends into Kakano 1 this term and we have had to say goodbye to our dear friend Isaac who is unfortunately leaving.

This week we have been reading Kakapo Dance, we have been learning new sounds as well as developing a range of other activities around the story. We have created pictures and writing around it as well as some maths to.
