Times tables ladder

Over the past few weeks we have been learning our times tables as part of our home learning. Congratulations to the first of our class who have reached the top of the ladder!!

Well done Alan, Sega, Samantha, Ariella, Hood and Arlo - you rock!

Hiwi The Kiwi Show

This morning we were given a free show presented by the Minstrel and his wife.

We learnt some very important messages about fishing for the future and safety in boats:

• Always wear a lifejacket on the water.
• Keep our seas clear of plastic to help save our sea birds and sea animals.
• Take a ruler to check the size of your fish.

Ask your child what else they learned.

You can check out more on the Hiwi The Kiwi website.

Thanks everyone who has already booked in for a discussion on either Wednesday or Thursday this week. If you need help booking please send a note or pop into class and see me. It takes 5 minutes.

Please note that all interviews booked last term were cancelled and you will need to rebook.

This week the children will be updating their information for their presentations to you. I'm looking forward to hearing them talk to you at the meetings.

Welcome Back to Term 2

Hi everyone! Welcome back to Term 2!

NEW SEATING PLAN

I am very excited to introduce flexible seating to the class this term. The children are able to choose the best place for them to work. There are a few rules to help us make the most of being able to self -manage this way. Please ask your child how they are doing with our new seating arrangement.

LEARNING DISCUSSIONS

Please check that you have booked for these next week. Your support with your child's learning is very important to their success. If you want me to book a time for you please let me know.
