weekly newsletter week 9



Room 6 Newsletter Term 1 Week 9

It has been another busy week in Room 6 this week, with meeting our new student teacher and with Easter this weekend.  Hope you are all ready for a nice long weekend!

Student Teacher
From next week, Miss Poto will be taking groups for Reading and Maths and will be slowly taking whole class lessons.  Some of your children will get the chance to work with her during these sessions.

Reading Homework
If for some reason your child does not have a reader as expected, they can read from a book on Sunshine Online. You could also read to them that night and talk about any words they don’t understand, ask them questions, ask them to talk about part of the story with justification for their views or retell the story in their own words.

Easter
Just a reminder that school is closed on Tuesday the 29th of March.  

Opera
On Wednesday 30th March, the NZ Opera in Schools Tour is coming to HPS!  This is a fantastic opportunity for the children to experience something new.  The cost will be approximately $5 and will come out of the Activity Fee.

The show will start at 1.30 and go for 45 minutes, with a 10 minute question time at the end.  The Opera is called The Elixir of Love.  It is in English and has been designed especially for school children.  

Mathletics Homework
It is great to hear how exicted the children are about how many points they are earning on Mathletics each night.  We also run a fortnightly competition within the school for the class with the most points overall. 

PTA Clothing Sale
Please bring your preloved clothes to the office before and after school for the PTA Clothing sale. The sale is Saturday 9th April 10.30am-4pm in the school hall. All items will be $2. There is a pre-sale on Friday 8th April 3.30-4.30pm for $10 entry where you have the chance to have first choice.
