Room two has gotten off to a great start this term. We've been working on getting back into routine and the students have slotted in well. We're welcoming Oakie, Tessa and Jett who have moved into our class from Room 3, and farewelling Quinn, Finn and Que who have moved to Room One. In writing we're getting into persuasive texts. This week we've started planning and drafting a letter to Chris Hipkins about why schools need trees. In maths we've been working on open ended maths questions where the students get to 'play' with maths. Give this example problem a go: Two fifths of the students borrow books from the school library each day. How many kids might there be in the school and how many books did they borrow each day? We've also rounded out the week by starting a piece of abstract art inspired by Russian artist Sonia Delaunay.
General Information
- I checked book bags on Friday and so far as I know everyone now has one. Please check with your child to make sure they've got their homework book and times table flashcards in their book bag ready for Monday.
- I'll endeavour to start homework for the term on Monday.
- We're doing a times table push at the moment. For home learning you could help your child memorise their flashcards and make links between multiplication and division. Check out this blog post if you're unclear about how the flashcards work and watch the video called Times Tables Practice.
Rock On,
Mr M
