Start of Term 4 Update

Kia Ora All,

I hope everyone had a great holiday and you are all ready to rock 'n' roll for one last term! Here's a heads up about what's coming up.
  • This term, one of our inquiry focusses will be how plants survive and thrive. This will involve learning about photosynthesis; the different parts of a plant, flower and a seed; how plants reproduce etc. One thing we'll be doing is growing some seeds in class. If you have any spare seeds that the kids might enjoy growing, please send them along to school.
  • Part of the homework checklist is the possibility of doing some Maths Buddy at home. I've set a bunch of tasks for each student that will hopefully last a few weeks. If you're looking for new ideas for your home learning programme, you might like to consider adding in some Maths Buddy. 
  • Speaking of homework: Please make sure your child has their homework book ready and at school on Monday!
  • I'm looking forward to another exciting term.
Rock on,
Mr M
