Last week was a little mucky with different relievers - thanks to all parents and children for the disruptions to what was supposed to be a normal week. I had 3 and a half days in Dunedin sorting out my teenager who now has 2 large screws in his elbow thanks to his downhill MTB adventures.
PINK SHIRT DAY - This Friday
The children are encouraged to wear a pink shirt (or pink something) to school this Friday to show their support for Pink Shirt Day - A day where we celebrate making sure that we work towards letting people feel safe, valued and important. Mrs Sanders has been working with the children in Room 5 over the past few weeks and getting them to recognise how they can help end bullying.
Homework
A continued focus on spelling, learning tables, study ladder and regular reading for enjoyment is what I expect from all Room 5 students. Last term saw some excellent progress for students with spelling, I hope this continues for times tables this term. Once again it is important to help your child with their learning, even talking to them about what they are learning at school can help.
Matariki Celebration
Over the next few weeks we will be learning about Matariki (Maori New Year). The senior syndicate ( Rooms 4, 5 and 6) are planning to have a celebratory get together next month sharing some Matariki knowledge and celebrating the traditions Maori people carried/carry out when the Matariki stars were/are visible in the sky. Watch this space for some pictures of what we will be learning.
Have a great week everybody - sadly the weather is turning a corner and I will be dreaming of Fiji for the next 3-4 months.
GET ME HERE!!!
Mrs Lyon.
