Room 6 Newsletter Term 2 Week 2
Lloyd Elsmore Swimming
This week we had our first session swimming at the Lloyd Elsmore pools. From the side of the pool it looked like every single kid was having a great time and learning heaps.
This will continue Monday. The bus will pick the class up and take us down to Lloyd Elsmore Pools. We have a ½ an hour session with swim gym 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.
Please ensure your child brings along all their named swim gear on Monday.
Extra Curriculars
The extra curricular classes that happen on Fridays are still running this term. If you do not want your child to participate this term please let me know so we can let the instructors know. Kung fu and Art will now be at 10am and Dance will be at 1:30pm.
Kapa Haka
This started this week on Friday. By all accounts this went extremely well...with positive feedback from the most nervous of my students.
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 excited 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.

Science Roadshow
The roadshow (hands on science activities) is being held at Howick Intermediate School so we will be able to walk up there and back, saving on bus fares. We will be splitting Rooms 4 to 6 into 2 groups. One group will have their session from 9.30 to 10.50 (not including walking time). The other group will have their session from 1.35 to 2.55 (not including walking time). We will need a few parents to walk with the children and help during the activities. We will let you know soon, what time your child is going. We will ensure that they are grouped so that they can still do their art, dance or kung fu classes that day.
Kind regards
April Hobby
