Week 2
Tena Koutou everybody. It's Maori Language Week and we will be learning about the days of the week and months of the year through songs. It is really important that our pronunciation is correct, the more words that are practiced the better we will get!
Reports went out last week. I hope you are aware that the children's blogs are their e-portfolios. These get updated during the term, so please check out some of the samples of work that children have been learning in class.
This week it is parent interviews. These are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday and are 10 minutes long. You will be able to book an appointment by going to www.schoolinterviews.co.nz. The code is V9Y6X.
I am trying to encourage the children to check out the class blog often for information on what is happening during the week, so I am going to leave a clue on the blog each week for the children to collect over the term. To see the clues you need to check the blog each week.
I have added a new tab above of my weekly timetable. If you would like to see exactly what is happening and at what times, check out the Weekly timetable tab.
Request: Over the next few weeks I would like to collect a baby photo of the children to show their changes over the last 8/9 years. I thought it might be great to create a class display for children to guess which baby is which. You can either email me a digital copy or send me an original to photocopy.
In class the children have created prayer cards to hand out to members of the church next Sunday. If you haven't finished yours please do so this week for home learning. They will be printed and laminated on Tuesday. If your children are available to hand out the cards next Sunday, that will be great too.
Please Bring in Reading Logs by Tuesday!!
Here's the plan for the week.
Monday: Parent Interviews
Tuesday: Ned Show Parent Interviews
Wednesday: Library
Friday: Golden Time/ Assembly.
Have a great week, hopefully we will be in for some wonderful weather.

Welcome back to Term 3
Tena Koutu everybody and welcome back to Term 3. I hope you have all had a restful break and are rearing to get back into your learning. The 2nd week of my holidays I spent recovering from a small cold. This winter weather has not been very kind to us.
This term we welcome two new faces (or more like one returning student) to our Rm 15 whanau, welcome to Jett and Mackenzie. We hope you settle in beautifully to our class routines. I'm sure most of the class would agree that you have been placed in the
"Best Class Ever!"
How many awesome students have been continuing their reading over the holidays? I'm praying that we will get 100% ( ALL) reading logs returned in the next few weeks. There are some great prizes to be won and the class with the most reading logs returned will also get a prize!! Can we do his Rm 15? YES WE CAN!!!
Please check out the tab above ( Parent Info) for more details about what the children will be learning this term. Also fill out the survey below.
This week:
Monday: Teacher Only Day. If you do decide to come to school I have a sink and fridge to be scrubbed and other wonderful jobs you can get your hands into.
Wednesday: Library day
Friday: 11 to 12.30 Middle Team Open Day. An opportunity for parents to see how Google Apps for Education works in the classroom.
