Week 9 - Term 2 - 2022

-

 Dear Whanau,

I hope that you have had a relaxing weekend with your family. James and I attempted to see Matariki up on the hill at my house with hot chocolate but unfortunately, it was overcast. 

This is my last week at school for term 2. Jane Trask will be taking the class while I am at home in Canada. A reading log will be going home with the kids this week for the holiday. If Mr. Macmillan doesn't do a draw I will take a lucky boy and girl out for lunch with me. It is so important that we continue to read over the break.

We would like to hold a Matariki celebration with Room 14 on Friday. We will be inviting parents to come in and share in our work, and have a piece of toast and coffee from 8:30-10:45. We will also have a shared morning tea with the two classes, if you would like to drop in that would be fantastic.

Coming up:

Monday - Library please bring back your books, prize for those that do

Tuesday - 

Wednesday - 

Thursday - Kapa haka, Singing, Matariki Cultural Dinner

Friday - Matariki shared morning tea

- rollerskating

- singing

- Pacifica

  WEEK 6 TERM 2 2022 I hope you are all enjoying the long weekend and the wonderful weather we had Saturday and Sunday. Please remember that tomorrow is a teacher-only day. Last week was action-packed with children viewing the Mother Mary icon in the church and our Year 4 to 6 children celebrating Mass together with the icon and other parishioners We celebrated Pentecost Mass together as a school and weren’t our little readers fantastic. The singing was great too. I know we had a few technical issues with the laptop but the children were great in just carrying on.  During the weekend a large number of our children were Confirmed and made their First Holy Communion.  Our children looked stunning in their special clothes and were very excited on their special day.  We got our cross country completed in between showers on Friday and the team to compete at the Interschools has been selected and notified.  Our Chess team also performed particularly well in Taupo,  being placed first, second

  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
