In Maths this week we continue to look at place value and ordering decimals. We move into bigger numbers as we progress and then begin applying our decimal knowledge to solve word problems.
Reading this week we continue to get stuck into individual novel studies and look at the comprehension questions that accompany each book. We will also continue to look at a weekly wonder on Wonderopolis. We will read about it together as a class and then the children can choose an aspect related to what they have read to research. We had some really interesting outcomes from last weeks which looked at our middle names.
Our Writing this week is based around informal writing and description. We are taking part in a New Zealand wide postcard swap. This means we will all be filling in a postcard and sending them off to another school and they will send a class set back to us.
We are also signed up to a census in school programme which will inform part of our maths programme. This week all Year 7 and 8 students will complete a survey for census and then later on we’ll use the data as part of our statistics unit.
It is our second to last week of swimming so we need to be making the most of it. The students are required to bring their togs every day. If your child is not swimming a note needs to come to school on that day to explain why.
On Friday the School Council are holding a PPP, Pink, Purple and P day to raise money for Renee. Donations will be used to send a care package to her and her family in Texas. We hope things are going well over there for them all.
