Week 7 Update

Kia Ora Whanau

Thank you very much for signing the Wednesday Teachers meeting and Orana Park notices this week.  I really appreciate your support for these two events.

The next important form is the digital learning agreement form which should have come home this afternoon.  Please could that be completed and returned with your child tomorrow (Friday).

Thank you for all the photos of 'People the children know'.  We are learning to write a character description at the moment and these pictures form the starting point for this part of the writing programme.  For those people who have not sent a picture in please could you do so tomorrow.  The easiest and best way is just to e-mail me a picture.  I will print it out at school.

We will keep going with fractions next week and then will move into learning about time.  Our Eric Carle art is making good progress and most children should be finishing their art project next week.

This week each child in the class received a special certificate from 3plearning who administer Mathletics.  The certificate was for Exceptional Effort this year.  Thank you for supporting your child with their Mathletics.  Since the inception of the Senior Team Mathletics award in Week 10 of Term 1 Room 1 has won the award every single time except on two ocassions.

We received our Cheetah Certificate of Adoption today.

'We' have produced 8.2 litres of worm juice so far which we have given to the school.  We will be sending worm juice home in the near future to those families who wish to fertilise their plants and veggies.

Room 1 also won the Walk/Wheel to School trophy this week.  Thank you for supporting your child with this healthy lifestyle initiative.
