Term 2

Welcome back to school for Term 2.  This term is a short one - 9 weeks - and already looking very busy.  Check out the dates on 'Upcoming Class Events'.  One event not yet added to the calendar is the National Young Leaders Conference in Palmerston North on the 27th May.  Applications will be open for this event shortly.

Using the Habits of Mind, we will be aiming to be 'continuous learners' and to 'question and pose problems'.

The focus for the term is 'Going Global and Local' where we will be exploring different cultures.  The class has chosen their main topic but will be coming up with ways to demonstrate their learning in the next week.  We will also be celebrating Matariki and visiting Matahiwi Marae.

Room 6 has been allocated 12 Chromebooks to add to the Netbooks already installed in the class.  We are in the process of improving our skills to make the most of this technology.  Expect to see more work shared on-line.

WEEK 1

This week in Maths we will be revising last terms topics and checking progress in Maths Knowledge so check out the stages on the maths pages and get in some knowledge practice.

In Language we are learning to use 'hyperbole' to entertain in our writing.  Finished samples should be on Kidsblog shortly.
