Term 2 has been an amazing term for student achievement. The students have put in a lot of hard work and a concerted effort towards achieving their Term 1 goals. A large number of students in Room 7 met those goals, and are now tracking towards new goals for Terms 3 and 4.
I have been so impressed with Room 7 and the progress which they are making in Literacy, in particular with regard to their Reading. In Terms 3 and 4 I would like to encourage the students to make an even more concentrated effort towards improving in Spelling and Writing.
I have been most impressed with the work which the students have completed around Inquiry and the extra knowledge which they have taken home about how they can save power. The students are energy saving stars and already I am hearing stories of students practising the knowledge which they have learned at home!
As I am writing this entry for the blog we have almost completed all of our student led conferences in Room 7. This time has been a great opportunity to catch up with whanau and caregivers to celebrate the learning of their tamariki and look at how we can continue to develop their successes moving forwards.
Bringing a close to this term is the Gold Award Celebration. This is a time where the students can reflect on the learning of the term and consider the things they might revise or do differently in Term 3. One lucky Room 7 student will be receiving the prestigious Principles Gold Award and Room 7 will get to share some of their amazing work which they have done over the last month.
Finally, thank you for the great response with returning the Learning Journals. It has been great to have such a quick turn around and the children have been ecstatic to receive their 5 house points and a sticker for being so prompt!
Below are some photos of this weeks Reading and also our GoNoodle inside fitness. The students have worked so hard with their fitness that they have actually levelled up our GoNoodle monster!
Nga mihi,
