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.

  Ko Hāta Maria, te Matua Wahine o te Atua Commissioned by NZ Catholic Bishops, it was unveiled and blessed on the Feast of the Assumption in 2021 at St Mary of the Angels Church in Wellington. The artist is Damian Walker from Christchurch: “the painting depicts Mary as a symbol of unity in her universal motherhood, uniting Heaven and Earth in her son, Jesus, the son of God.” The image is framed like a wharenui , with the Holy Spirit above… our ultimate spiritual home is the House of God. Revelation 12:1 “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.” Purity Reflecting the light (Mary is not the Light) Jesus is wearing the very rare kahu kiwi , or kiwi-feathered cloak, to show his unique mana Holding a book –  Jesus as the Eternal Word The design on the cover is based on Bishop Pompallier’s own prayerbook Hand raised in blessing:  two fingers, human and divine three fingers representi...

  Welcome Back! I am very excited to be coming back in 2022, to Room 12. I hope you have all had a great break and are ready to get back into school. A little background into myself for those of you that don't know me. I was born and raised in Alberta Canada. I have been living in New Zealand for 16 years. My three boys and I have been calling Rotorua home for the past 7 years. I love to camp, play all sports and spend time with my boys on our farm. I am looking forward to all the adventures that 2022 will bring. I am a firm believer in reading at home, for the most part, this is the only ask I will have for my students in the form of homework. Reading at home can look different for each person. You could have someone read a book to you, you can listen to audiobooks, read online/device or read to someone else. The recommendation is for 20mins each day. With our very busy lives, this is often not achievable but it is the goal I would like everyone to strive for. A reading log went h...
