week 9 Term 1 2022

  Big News - We are Swimming this week!

Poor Mrs D has been unwell and we have had Mrs Hunter teaching in Room 12 which meant that Mrs Trask came to teach Room 14 on Wednesday. This week, there will be more shuffling of teachers and some routine changes again. The kids have been so cool, calm and collected about everything - what a wonderful bunch of people you are to work with.

Congratulations to Addison, Louis, Lilly-Maye and Kyree who won our Values Awards last week. They have shown Excellence through hard work and perseverance during the whole term. Excellence isn’t about being the best, it's about doing our best. Excellence is having another go when we’ve gone wrong, being honest about our mistakes and learning from them.  We’ll be on the lookout for more people showing Excellence at school this week.

C.(Courage) R.(Respect) E.(Excellence)W.(Wonder)

Wonder is the focus for this week, who is asking questions and showing curiosity.

Mr. Macmillan Covid Update

As you have heard last week there have been changes within the Red Settings of the COVID Framework. We can now have 200 people indoors which means that we can have Team Assemblies/Liturgies in the hall or over in the Church. We will need to be masked when these occur in indoor settings.

We no longer need to have people scanning as they arrive at our school or ask for passports but they will still need to sanitise and wear a mask.

This Weeks Learning

Literacy: Report writing - we are going to have a real focus on sentence structure and the introduction of paragraphs. We'll finish our Marshmellow stories first though so don't panic.

Numeracy: We are continuing to build our knowledge of place value. We will also look at how we can collect, sort, display and analyse information (statistics). We are stepping it up a little every week. This week we are going to continue to use money for Place Value learning.

Religious Education: WALT - My Whānau, Jesus’ Whānau.  To whom do I belong?

Remember:  Recognise I am part of my family which is special and loved by God. Understand: That all people are part of God’s family and that through Baptism we can become part of God’s Church. (talk at home about when you were baptized, look at photos, when did it happen, how old were you, who was there, how did you celebrate )
