Welcome to Term 3

Kia Ora Koutou Katoa,

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday. Here are a few things you need to be aware of as we lead into a jam-packed term

  • Speech competitions are in week 5. The class speech competition will be held on Tuesday the 14th. We are going to hit it hard next week and it would be helpful for the students to have decided on a topic by then so they don't lose time mucking around deciding on a topic. Please have a chat to your child and work together to decide on a topic as part of home learning.
  • If you have headphones or ear buds that your child could bring to school, name, and keep in their desk to use when working on a device that would be helpful. I can't guarantee the absolute safety of anything in the classroom, so please don't send along anything expensive or precious. They work on Maths Buddy, do reading activities on Kiwi Kids News and will be using Core 5 as part of the class programme. Headphones help them hear the computer and also helps keep noise level low in the class. 
We've been learning about maps, scale drawings and measuring this week. Great job to those many students who drew detailed maps of their bedrooms or lounges. Here are some photos of us in action creating and presenting our scale drawings of the classroom.

Rock On,

Mr M
