Week 6

Hi everyone

I hope you are having a great week and keeping warm.  Just a reminder that on Tuesday 17th of June we have Garden to Table. This term we will be in the afternoon cooking from 1.15pm through to 2.55pm. Please see the notice/ return slip that came out about this today :)

Also a friendly reminder that the Year 3 conferences will be held at the end of this term. Please log onto the school interview site and book a time that suits. http://www.schoolinterviews.co.nz/

Keep up the fantastic work with your homework. Don't forget to make sure your spelling sheet is stuck in and completed ready for testing on Friday.

Have a fantastic week :)

Week 5

Hi everyone

I hope you all had a fantastic long weekend. Due to the short week there will be no spelling homework this week. Please continue to work on reading and mathematics with your child. I have updated Studyladder with lots of new maths and vocabulary activities. Students are to have their homework books back at school on Fridays.

Over the last couple of weeks Room 16 has been working really hard on their film. It has been fantastic to see the students so motivated and engaged with this project. Thank you to all the parents and caregivers that have helped and supported us throughout the journey so far. 

Have a great week :)

Kind regards

Miss Toye
