Week 4 Term 4 2022

Last week was a whirlwind - we had the Make the difference swim team come in to work with us, we organised and ran the All Saints/All Souls liturgy, Mrs T and Mrs D had a maths course, some of the crew went to RATs duathlon... This week looks much calmer.

Monday: Teacher Only Day

Tuesday:

Wednesday:

Thursday:

Friday: Kahui Ako Kapa Haka festival (just Ahurei kids)

Doesn't that look lovely?!

This week we are going to have a little bit of fun with our writing - we'll see how it turns out. In maths we are looking at using basic facts as a strategy to solve problems (don't forget to check out the slides we made with loads of great basic facts games to play). We're also looking at patterning (algebra) and a little graphing (statistics). We also have a few assessments coming up, too - check out these reminders - they are important.

Reminders

- wear your activity tracker, please (we use data in maths and for the competition)

- charge your Chromebook every night (we use them almost everyday)

- bring your headphones everyday (essential - online assessments coming up)

- bring your reading books everyday (yes, we read everyday even in Year 4!)

- the bell to come in and get organised is at 8:30 and our school day starts at 8:45 (a few kids are arriving at/after 9am and are missing out on a lot of important information that sets the kids up for a successful day)

We are all getting a bit tired but "I forgot" is fast becoming the most annoying phrase of my day. A few gentle reminders, at home, would go a long way to helping to restore my sanity and prevent even more wasted time at school. 

Okay - grumble finished.

For those incredible, wonderful, supportive and intelligent souls who have read all the way to the bottom of the post - the magic word is Abracadabra. Write it on a piece of paper and quietly slip it to Mrs T, before 9am on Tuesday.

Shhh! Don't tell anyone.
