weekly newsletter week 1 term 2

Room 6 Newsletter Term 2 Week 1

We had a great day on Thursday at the Botanical Gardens.  The children really enjoyed themselves. The activities related well to our concept learning and the children really enjoyed themselves as well.  There will be some great photos on the class blog.  Thank you to those parents who were able to help.  It was much appreciated.

Lloyd Elsmore Swimming
This starts on Monday.  The bus will pick the class up and take us down to Lloyd Elsmore Pools.  We have a ½ an hour session with swimgym instructors.  The children will then get changed back into their uniforms and back on the bus back to school.  If you do not wish for your child to participate please contact me via email or in person to discuss this.

Named Clothing
This is also a good timet o check that all your children’s clothing is named. If someone puts on the wrong piece of clothing it’s much easier to return.
A brand new hat with Sarai Brand’s name in it is missing. Please check your children’s hats. There is also a school sports uniform top missing.

Extra Curricular Activities
The extra curricular classes that happen on Fridays are still running this term.  If you do not want your child to partcipate this term please let the instructors know.  Kungfu and Art will now be at 10am and Dance will be at 1:30pm.

Kapa Haka
This starts next week and will be on Fridays at 11:45am.  It is optional and the children are asked if they would like to join in.  This is taught by Whaea Brenda.


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.

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.
