Firstly, let me welcome everyone back to Term 2!
This term we have hit the ground running! From day one the students were practicing their swimming at Aqua Gym and have since shown their aptitude in the water! It has been a very fun week but also tiring as I'm sure the children have explained as there is so much on!
In strand maths, we began looking this week at Money. The students began by completing a pre-test to give us an idea of where they are at with their learning regarding this topic, and they have since been grouped so we can target their learning needs as closely as possible. This has been an interesting and enjoyable segment of maths to look at with the children as it has a 'real' element to it where the children can use the mathematical skill on a daily basis.
With swimming the timetable has had to change slightly. Within our literacy time we have began to consolidate our knowledge of Recounts so that we can move on to our next focus, explanations. The students are showing their aptitude in this area and are currently working hard to complete a recount relating to the characters of Ice Age.
Below are some photos from Aqua Gym showing the enjoyment and hard work that all Room 7 students have put in to get to where they are!
I hope all students, whanau and caregivers have a great weekend and get some well deserved rest!
Nga mihi,
Nicholas Shimasaki
