The mighty Room Two have continued to heroically soldier on through their learning odyssey. Last Friday, we started back with our geology inquiry topic, which was postponed due to lockdown, and began looking at volcanoes in Aotearoa. First we talked about the three main types of volcano found here. Then we looked at some examples, found them on Google Maps and marked them in on a map of NZ which was glued into our inquiry book. We've also been talking about volcano vocabulary. If you want to know what a pyroclastic flow is, feel free to ask someone from Room Two.
- Parent tchr interviews are in the final week of term. If you haven't booked in yet, now is a good time to lock in a interview.
- The year 2 - 4 students will be going to the Mini Outdoor Adventure Programme at Whenua Iti Outdoor Education Centre in Lower Moutere on Thursday the 20th of August.
- On Friday, almost all the kids were tested on their times tables. Friday is tables day and Monday is spelling day. Please make sure tables cards and homework book is in your child's book bag and ready for school on Monday.
- I'm trying to get the students back into the rhythm of completing their set Maths Buddy tasks weekly. I set four tasks each week and aim to check every Sunday to see how students have got on. I'm going to have a Maths Buddy points chart to celebrate kids who finish all their tasks. Completing tasks is in no way related to maths ability as I set appropriate tasks for each group or individual as necessary. Only one student completed all their tasks last week so I've extended the tasks for a few days. Students have time in class to complete tasks. It's also a good homework task for those who are interested in adding some maths into their home learning programme.
Rock On,
Mr M
