Kia ora whanau and caregivers,
This week the students were lucky enough to practice their athletics techniques with Mrs Tizzard. As the Athletics Sports is fast approaching we are encouraging the students to practise all of the movements and sports which are included so they may improve and assist their house in winning on Athletics Day. It has been great to see the students confidence grow and improve!
As some whanau and caregivers may have seen we are now in Room 5 completing Action Stations in the morning. These are in place from 8:30am until 9:00am, and have really made a positive difference to the speed at which the children are accessing their learning. At the moment, this time is being used to develop oral language and written language and gives the students an opportunity to practise their spelling words which they are taking home each week.
Thank you to those whanau and caregivers who are continuing to work hard and practise the spelling words with their child every night, it is crucial that the students get a lot of practise working with and writing these words so their understanding and confidence grows.
Recently within reading their has been an increase in students who are forgetting their Reading Folders, or who are not packing them in their bags before school. This is the students responsibility however, if you could double check before they leave that they have this in their bags I would be most grateful (as I cannot send reading books home without it).
I hope you have all had a restful and relaxing weekend and I look forward to seeing both students and whanau next week!
Nga mihi,
Nicholas Shimasaki
