We had a great first week back; it was awesome to see everyone come back well rested and ready to get stuck into some good learning.
Last week had our first Japanese lesson, which left all the kids buzzing and looking forward to our next lesson - which will be today (Monday). We also began looking at fractions in maths and have had some fabulous discussions around this learning. We continue to investigate fractions this week and will move into equivalent fractions and then adding and subtracting fractions.
In reading and writing we will begin putting the note taking skills we learned last week into practice and start looking at putting those notes together into reports.
Tech choices were made last week. This week on Wednesday we will be having a pre-planning session where students will join their tech group and go over their project and what things are needed. Students will find out what group they are in Tuesday or Wednesday morning.
Everyone was given an IXL password last week. This is a maths program that can be accessed on both computers and ipads and should help students to reinforce the learning taking place in the classroom.
I will be out of the classroom for a few days at the end of this week and the beginning of next week. I have a course to attend on a couple of days and a family event in Hawkes Bay. Alison Eagar will be in the class and will be running the usual programme so there should be minimal disruption for the students.
As always you are welcome to pop in or email me if you wish to chat about anything.
