Gosh Week 7 already. This week our learning is based around camp. As we will be away on camp during Maori Language Week, our reading, poetry and oral language is based around Maori language and stories. Last week was Taniwha Week - there were some amazing taniwha drawn in poetry books. I hope you enjoyed them.
My apologies to anyone who went to check out the poetry at Central Stories and couldn't find their poem. I understood that any poems that were not on the display board would be in the folder. If yours was not there perhaps I misunderstood what I was told, or perhaps the poem was not in the pile that I took down.
This week the Kapahaka group will be performimg at Ranui (Monday afternoon) and Tuesday morning at Dunstan Educare and Little Oaks. If anyone wishes to accompany us, we will be leaving school at 10am on Tuesday.
Gymnastics on Wednesday - please wear sports uniforms
School Mass is this Sunday at 9am. Please let me know if your child will not be attending.
School Photos wil be taken on Thursday morning please wear full winter uniform.
Keep working on your Singing Eisteddfods these will be heard while at camp. Check the marking schedule posted on the blog.
Many Hands Makes Light Work: 2 people have done one of the suggested activities towards getting ready for camp. The sheet to fill in should be in homework books - check that out. Part of camp is about looking after ourselves and helping others out - some things that you can practise at home.
Mihimihi - many of these are sounding pretty fluent - Go Room 3!! Keep working on these.
Spelling: this week we are looking at the 'er' spelling patterns. This is the last week of spelling for this term.
Some people are still having trouble with managing to have their poetry or homework book at school. Please have a scout around at home.
Hoping everyone is getting ready for camp. Thank you to the parents who attended the meeting last week as we discussed the roles and responsibilities associated with being a 'camp parent'. Your children will be well looked after. All children know who their 'night-time' parent is. This is the person who will look after them overnight. The daytime learning groups are still to be confirmed. If there are any worries about camp, please don't hestitate to talk to me about it.
Our prayers are with Taine and his family. His grandad Robin Ballantyne died last night.
