Week 11 Term1 2022

Well, that term went fast! Term 1 has been an 11-week roller coaster - thanks to covid. Yet through all of this we have become a great team in Room 12. Mrs. Hunter commented that she was excited to come back into our classroom for a day as she also saw how special the CREW of Room 12 are. I am sorry that I was unable to come watch sports this weekend but don't worry you will see me. On the flip side, the weather was amazing and I have been able to see my boys doing what they love, rugby and dog training. My oldest spent a couple of days in hospital (Friday and Saturday), he is now doing much better thanks to Penicillin and fluids.


This Weeks Learning

Literacy: Report Writing - we will be finishing our reports about animals. We have been very excited about our research and we are looking forward to putting it all together in a report.

Numeracy: We are continuing to build our knowledge of place value. We will also look at how we can collect, sort, display and analyze information (statistics). We are stepping it up a little every week. 

Religious Education: Holy Week. We will be doing lots of work based on the Holy Week stories. 


We Are Swimming This Week

Mon: Library

Tues:

Wed:

Thurs: Morning Tea, We made it through the Term party

Washing of the feet liturgy

Kapa Haka

Fri: Good Friday


"Phew! We made it through Term 1" party

We decided that we needed to celebrate the end of term with a class party. The kids will complete some statistical investigations about what we should do and eat.

I will organize the cake and the activities but if families are able to provide a small (healthy-ish) plate of food to share with the class that would be great.


Thanks for all of your kindness and support this term.

  13/02/22 Kia ora, Welcome to week 3! We had a wonderful start to the year last week with students excited to be back. This weekend, it felt like we might be experiencing the first signs of fall with the rain, cooler temps and leaves falling. Let's hope mother nature allows us a little more summer in the weeks to come.  We will be starting some of our required testing this week to give us an indication as to where your tamariki is since the end of last year. We will be starting up with our maths, writing and reading programmes over the week and encourage you to talk to your child about what they have been doing in class. Maths - We will be looking at addition and subtraction. A fun game for the car is to have the kids ask you math questions, sometimes answer correctly sometimes wrong see if they can catch you a point for the person who guesses correctly. start at first with simple questions to 10 5+5=10, 4+3=7, 9-5=4 try and answer as quickly as possible. Reading - having an audi
