Hopefully you’ve all had a chance to view the videos the students made last week about their Tiny Houses. We’d love you to leave a comment on your child’s blog relating to how you think they went with their goal.
If you are not signed up to your child’s or the class blog, I urge you to do so. It is the best way to be a part of your child’s learning. The school web site and the class blogs have short videos explaining how to sign up.
In Maths we are moving into adding decimals. We’ll be learning how important it is to keep the tenths, hundredths and thousandths in the correct column when adding.
As well as reading individual novels we are sharing a class book called Tomorrow, when the War Began. I share the book onto our smartboard and the students follow along as I read, which really helps with comprehension.
In writing we are looking at metaphors and the work of Iain Sharpe. Students will be creating their own poems based around Iain Sharpe’s work. They will also be learning and creating ‘found poems’ - watch out on our blogs to find out what these are.
This week is the last official week of swimming, however if it is still warm enough we will continue to use the pool in the following weeks.
This week Sport Taranaki begin a weekly programme called Run, Jump, Throw which will support our students in the lead up to athletics.
If anyone has any magazines to spare we would greatly appreciate having them. Also a reminder we are after spare craft type bits and pieces to add to our STEM Challenge box.
Reminder that this Friday is Teacher Only Day - this means students have a 4 day weekend as Monday is Taranaki Anniversary.
