Kia ora whanau

After another terrific week we are well settled into our routines, and the children are doing a fantastic job with these. In maths, we are finishing up our statistics unit and will soon begin working with numbers to 1,000. In writing, we are focusing on how to write complete sentences with description. Swimming continues when the weather allows, and our visual pepeha are taking shape - we will share these as soon as they are ready! Mahi tika ana! Great work everyone!

Room 3 Playdough Spelling - this week Room 3 have been learning about the FLoSZ rule - where usually if a word ends with an f, l, s and z at the end of a word or syllable after a short vowel - we have to double that letter!!! (there are always exceptions). Jade and Gia have done a fabulous job making some words that end with the FLoSZ rule!! Mrs McLeod is very impressed!

Have a lovely weekend. Ngā mihi ~ Shannon

Kia Ora Whānau

We’ve had a great start to the term, settling into routines and enjoying our literacy and maths lessons!

In Room 4 and 5, we have been learning how to increase our mana by being role models in class and on the playground. Every day, we strive to do and be our best!

Our tamariki have been loving their swimming lessons at the Cust pool, and we are so proud of their progress. We are seeing big improvements in water confidence, swimming skills, and technique. We’re looking forward to our Junior Swimming Gala - more information to come soon!

In maths, we are exploring statistics - learning how to pose and answer questions, collect data, and make statements about our graphs.

Please ensure students have a drink bottle in class. We also appreciate all your support with home learning.

A special welcome to Mrs. Lia Brown, who has joined us as a teacher, supporting literacy lessons and working with small groups in the junior school.

Kia pai tō rā whakatā - have a great weekend!

~ Caroline, Kennys, Lia, and Linda
