Digital story

Today I learnt to make digital stories and below is the trial one. Hope you like it the children will be learning how to do it themselves. Very exciting!

Why let our students blog?

Cross Country

Don't forget the Cross Country is on tomorrow May 17th at 9.05am. Please come and support the children.

Week 2 again

So sorry but I will be away looking after Harriet again- she is really unwell, poor thing. We had fun finishing our poetry writing with Room 12 and ran the cross country course with them also.
Keep up the nightly reading and spelling and I hope to see you all on Monday.

Week 2

I was away today with my daughter having exactly what my eldest son had a week ago. Nicci Heffernan was in and tells me she had a great day in Room 4. Spelling continues, the children will do the next ten words on their list which is either List 1 or List 2.
If you have a spare shirt or t-shirt that could be used during Art please bring it in as we will be getting messy over the next few weeks.

Keep warm and dry

General news

Please check your child's bookbag for their daily spelling and reading book. They may also have an additional maths sheet to complete.

Our Social Sciences unit has begun. Please support your child with discussing what makes them special, unique and who the people are in their life that contribute and shape who they are. It could be as simple as filling in the family tree and talking about their interests and things they enjoy.

Week 1 term 2

Welcome back everyone! We have had a lovely start to the term with a visit from my sister who teaches at Van Ash school. Fiona showed us some basic sign language and made us aware that sign language is one of the 3 official languages in New Zealand and that there are many opportunities to learn it and use it. I immediately think of the signing done during the quake with the council updates. Ask your child what is the sign for cat, dog, rabbit and "I want".
