Week Three - The Final Week of Art Attack!

Kia Ora Whanau and Caregivers,

This week has been a really fun and exciting opportunity for the students in Room 5 to work together to complete some amazing work.  

This week saw the completion of yet another amazing Art activity around the topic "My Whanau and Me".  Within this activity the students were looking at the different members of their whanau.  They were considering what made their whanau special, and decided on ways that they could capture this within their art.  The students did an amazing job with these and they will be available soon for viewing in Room 5!  

The students also participated in their second round of P.E.  Within this round Room 5 looked at how to complete hurdles.  This knowledge will serve them well when considering the upcoming Athletics Sports events.  It looked as though they were all having a great time and were working really hard to give it their best effort!

I am getting a consistent group of students who are completing their Reading and are bringing homework back at the moment which is really great.  By Week 5 I am expecting to have all of the students in Room 5 completing homework on a regular basis and returning it each week for marking.  It is so important that this gets completed, as it really does make a difference to your childs learning!  Thank you very much to those whanau who have made an active effort to get this back to me each week!

Finally, I would just like to say how nice it was to get to catch up with the many families that I did during goal-setting interviews.  I found these interviews really positive and greatly look forward to supporting your children to achieve their learning goals for Term 1 and Term 2.
