Week 6 Update and Plan for Week 7

Kia ora Whanau

A week where heaps of fun was had by all!  Both the trip to Spencer Park and the Fishing trip were absolute highlights of the year and they both happened in the same week!  We are back into swimming next week and we go all the way through to Monday 4 December.

Learning tasks that will require completing this week are:-
1.  Duality maps (half the class has completed this task already)
2.  Mathletics certificate
3.  Journal

Once those tasks are completed then students may return to their Theme Park maths and also their Kiwi passport activities.  The Lil Pig will join our worm farms on Tuesday and we will continue with our unit on Puberty.

Thank you to all the parents who already booked their parent teacher interviews! And if you have not had the chance please go to schoolinterviews (site) and log in using the code emailed to you.

Room 1’s fishing trip is coming! On 23 of November, thank you to all the parents that are willing to help the Room 1 children on our fishing trip.

                                                 Learning.

Maths- The senior syndicate is doing theme park maths, theme park maths is when you design your theme park on a grid piece of paper. Theme park maths helps us learn about profit & loss.

Journal- In room 1 we are making our own journals for are parents for christmas! Our journals will have 3-5 pages full of poems, stories, plays, narratives, articles etc.

Duality maps- We are creating duality maps so we can learn about our culture backgrounds. We have to compare the same topics like clothes, food, weather etc.

Passport- Passports are still here! Our ilam school passports are filled with fun kiwiana things to do with family, friends or just yourself! Remember there are kiwi passport badges and certificates that your teacher's hand out so get moving!
