Please find attached program for Cross Country Wednesday 29th April. 

Thanks 

Ella

Tomorrow morning, starting at 9.30am, our very excited and dedicated team of stall holders are going to be selling their creations in the Performance Centre. Students (and parents, sorry!) have been busy building up 'stock' ready for sale.

Stallholders need to bring all their goods to school in the morning, bring a table if you have one (school has some to lend), you must have a few coins for a float (which will be returned) and signs stating your cost and what you are selling.

Students will visit the stalls, class by class, to see the creations, so if you wish you child to participate they will need to bring along some coins to buy things. Prices will range from 50c to $3. Coins or low denomination notes are preferred. 

Parents are welcome to come and have a look at the hive of industry, but stall holders probably haven't got enough stock for you to purchase, sorry.

All proceeds are going towards the Borough Bus.

We are looking forward to a fun event.   Dianne

Good afternoon Parents and Caregivers,

Kia ora,

We have a busy few weeks coming up.

In class we are looking at:

Maths -Number and algebraic thinking (for example < > =).

Writing -We are using different genres to to inform our reader about being a soldier in WW1 - This is linked to our ANZAC day inquiry. 

Sport -Invasion, challenge and target games

23rd April- Science Alive Workshop at school - STEM programme: Big Reactions: Fire & Ice
24th April- Market Day
27th April- Anzac Day- no school
29th April- Cross Country
4th & 6th May- Parent Interviews

Also, can you check with your child that they have the school equipment they need. Many don't have glue sticks, rulers and scissors. This can lead to them interrupting or disturbing others when they need to borrow stuff.

Market Day reminder: This Friday (24th April), there will be a Market Day at school. If you can, please send in some gold coins with your child so that they can participate in buying products made by senior students.

Kind regards,

David Usher

Kia ora whānau,

Welcome back to Term 2. I hope you all had a restful break and that the tamariki are feeling refreshed and ready for the term ahead.

This term, our class is now located in a new space, There is still some things happening around us so please bear with me over the first few week as we get everything organised and running smoothly. The students love having a breakout space also! Feel free to come and check it out! 

This term is an 11-week term, and we have a lot of exciting learning planned.

Learning Overview

Our inquiry focus this term is Curiosity – exploring how asking questions helps us understand the world around us. We will be linking this across our learning areas, including:

ANZAC- Learning in the first few weeks
Science inquiry- where students will investigate their own questions. We have started this with making our own paper planes and catapults. The interactions and conversations that we have all been having is fantastic to hear!
Algebra-  We have started looking at greater than, less than and equal to. We will continue to grow our knowledge over the next 3 weeks.
Writing- We are choosing one of 5 ways to inform our reader about being a soldier in WW1 - This is linked to our ANZAC day inquiry. 
Reading- We have started to read the connected series which has a science and technology theme. I have found that students have enjoyed reading differnt types of text linked to the real world and what happens around us. 

Cross Country: 
Wednesday 29th April (Week 2) at the Lagmhor site. We will be travelling by bus in the morning. Students can wear house colours. 

Interviews: 
Student/Parent/Teacher interviews will take place in Week 3 on the following days:

Monday 4 May, 3:15–7:00pm
Wednesday 6 May, 3:15–6:00pm

Each interview is 15 minutes long. Please book your preferred time via the Skool Loop app. Please email me if these times do not suit, and would like to schedule a time on another day after school. 

Market Day: This Friday (24th April), there will be a Market Day at school. If you can, please send in some gold coins with your child so that they can participate in buying products made by senior students.
