Words to learn or spell.

Hi All

Some of the children have been given today word lists to learn or lists for spelling. They should be in their reading folders. Please check. This is not a must do but it is for your reference so that you know what your child knows and what they need to know next. If your child is not interested please do not press the matter as we do learning around this at school. If your child does not have a list today there will be one coming and we'll let you know when it's in their reading folder.

Cheers
Tracy and Kirsty.

Term 3 Week 2

Hi All

A short week last week but the children were straight back into planning projects, writing, reading and maths. So good to see.

MONDAY MEET-UP
Monday meet-up is up and running and we would love to see you there if you can.

READING BOOKS
The reading books are kept in the children's reading folder for the week. This is to encourage the children to read again books they have discussed and read with the teacher, read with you at home and can now read independently themselves.

READING BOOK ROSTER
On the board outside the classroom is a roster for putting the books away each week. It's a quick job if we fill up the space for each week and it only takes 10-15 minutes of your time. You can do this on Tuesday through Friday, at a time that suits you. The reading room for this term is in Ti Kōuka so it's easier to put them away as they are all in one building. We really really appreciate your help this so please add your name to the roster.

PAINT SHIRTS
Our paint shirts are looking pretty rumpty! Large t-shirts are best as the arms are a good length so if you have some old t-shirts that need to be sent to t-shirt heaven please send them to us.

ICE
We look like we're in for some beautiful days but cold mornings for the first few days next week. Please be careful coming into school as the concrete coming in from Tillman Avenue proves to be a bit of a skating rink if you're not careful.


SOME PHOTOS OF THE WEEK THAT'S JUST BEEN...















Have a great week.

Classroom opens at 8.30am/Boxes needed

Evening All,

We are back into the swing of things this term. Lots of fantastic learning and creating has been going on this week and children have been enjoying catching up with their friends.

Two quick notices:

-Please remember the classroom is open from 8.30am onwards. Prior to this, we are preparing for the school day. 

-We also require LOTS of boxes for our box construction. Patiki children thoroughly enjoy creating Projects with boxes and we need a constant flow of any boxes you might have around the home. Please nothing bigger than a shoebox, (cereal boxes, muesli bar boxes...)

Thank you for your support,

Kirsty and Tracy
