This week was a short week due to Queens Birthday and the Staff Only Day however, the students made great attempts to continue with their school work despite the disruptions. All credit goes to the students for their hard-work and determination in getting down to work, and keeping up the momentum!
In Mathematics we have been practicing our Hotspot of skip counting and basic facts, during the group parts of our sessions we have been focusing on strategies to use when adding and subtracting multiple numbers. The students are following up the group sessions with reinforcement work around place value, something which almost the entire class showed we needed a focus on when we completed the Measurement (Money) component of our maths unit.
Within writing the children are showing a much better understanding of Explanations. The topics we have written on this week include explaining what our favourite TV show is, and why, and also why it is important to keep warm in the winter. The latter of the two topics ties in well with our inquiry topic which is 'Sustainability and Energy'.
Despite the dark and gloomy weather outside, Room 7 continues to produce some excellent student work which we are proud to have up on the walls. The students are all working very hard to achieve and are making great progress!
A real focus on the integration of e-learning devices has begun this term so please, if you have your own device bring it along as we will be using them a lot in class!
Have a great weekend and keep warm during the cold winter days!
Nga mihi,
Nick Shimasaki
