Week One - Start of Term 3 and the Second Half of the Year!

Kia ora e te whanau,

It is great to have all of the students back at school and to see so many smiling faces!  I hope that you have all had a restful and rewarding break and have had the opportunity to spend time with friends and whanau.  In these cold winter months it has been wonderful to have some really sunny days to welcome the students back to school!

This term is going to be a very rewarding term for the students.  In Writing the students will be discovering and working with narratives, in Mathematics the students will be considering shape, symmetry and tessellation alongside multiplication and division, and in Inquiry we are looking at our different cultures and whanau and learning more about ourselves.  

The students are already showing great focus and dedication to their work, and have settled back in well to the routines of school.  

As many of you will already know the homework has changed slightly.  Rather than learning the spelling words on the homework sheet, the students now have a spelling notebook filled with words which they spelled incorrectly in our spelling test.  The homework also now includes mathematics work and will get progressively more difficult as the term progresses.

The children were very positive to begin Reading lessons again and have shown some great teamwork when reading and playing reading games.






Thank you for your ongoing support,

Nick Shimasaki
