Week 9 Notice
Week 9....
*It is getting very close to the end of the term when Portfolio's and Reports will go home. Please ensure your child is at school every day unless they are legitimately unwell. We will be completing some assessments over the next two weeks and it is very difficult to go back and catch up when kids are away. Please if you still have your child's Portfolio at home, could you return it on Monday.
*This week is Maverick's last week with us. He will be moving to Auckland with his parents. I am sure everyone will join with me in wishing him and his family all the very best. We will miss you Mav.
*On Thursday afternoon we have a visiting musical group from Australia. The children will (hopefully) be enchanted by some lovely music from 1:30pm.
*This week our Activ Board projector stopped working so we could not watch the movie. Instead we played balloon pop in the hall which was awesome fun. The boys won the first round and the girls, (with some help from me) came back in the second round. I took some cool photos and will post them on the blog. This week we will be baking for Golden Time.
*This week is Matariki. We have a Liturgy planned for Tuesday at 10 am and there is a coloring competition for the kids. We will also be learning about Marariki in class this week. Also to celebrate Matariki, there will be a cultural dinner in the hall from 5:30pm on Wednesday 28th June. All families are invited to attend and bring a plate of food to share.
*All children in Room 13 will bring home their report on Friday 7th July. Some will be Anniversary Reports (after two years at school) and some will be Interim reports (after 18 months and 30 months at school). If you have any concerns about how your child is progressing, please email me so that we can meet to discuss this. I am very pleased with how the children are working at school and will discuss what they are currently able to do and what their next steps will be, in their reports.
Have a great week
Annie

Outside Play
Today was a glorious day outside. I took an iPad out on duty with me and captured some of your gorgeous kids at play. Here they are...
digital learning
The kids in room 13 love digital learning. There are a few websites we use regularly in class that the children can access from home to. Here they are....
*https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/5-7-years/counting
*http://www.ictgames.com/resources.html
*http://readingeggs.co.nz/login/
Some of our kids are on the Lexia program as well. They have their own login and password for this. Ngati Whakaue funds this program for our school and the expectation is that the kids will work on it at home. If your child is lucky enough to be on Lexia, please take advantage of it by supporting them for 10 minutes each day at home.
Many thanks
Annie

This is what fantastic buddy reading looks like - well done you super teachers and learners.....
Week 8 Notice
Hi everyone, here we go for week 8 - can you believe it?
*Mass at 9am
*Golden: Time: we will try for our movie and popcorn again.
*Maths: This week we will continue with addition and subtraction problems. We are trying to make our addition effective (getting the right answer) and efficient (quick and easy) so we are learning how to split the additive to do this.
eg if we have 45 + 7 =
We can make 45 a tidy number then add what is left.....
We know that 5+2 make 7 so we can add the 5 to 45 to make 50 (a tidy number) then add the 2 to make 52.
45+7=
45 + 5 = 50
50 + 2 = 52
We want the kids to be able to write the equation using these steps above.
The other kids are counting on so need to be able to hold 45 in their head, then count on 7
eg 45....46....47....48....49....50....51....52
Writing - this week we are writing explanations as well as some prayers about God's creations.
Reading - our reading is going very well. We are focusing on going back to the beginning of the sentence if the reading sounds weird or doesn't make sense, hearing errors and fixing them and comprehending what we are reading.
*Next week we will be doing some assessments for the Portfolio which will go home at the end of the term. Please have your child at school every day unless they are legitimately sick as it is really difficult to go back and get assessments done once the class has completed them.
Have a great week
