Week 7

Kia Ora folks,

Week 7 involves a little bit of action - lots of learning - and some out of class activities with sporting fun and visitors to our school.

Today we continued to build on our SNAG (Golf skills) with Sharelle from Kelly Sports.  If you're driving (see what I did there) past school between 10:30 - 11:15am you will see us in full golfing action on the tennis courts.  The class have learned about putting, chipping and snagging.  There are goal setting activities and we are building on what we have learned previously with Sharelle to develop a golf swing with correct technique.

Mrs Sanders makes a return to Room 5 this week after a trip to the UK.  She will be in Room 5 on Thursday and Friday of this week.

This Friday, Holy Family School from Wanaka will be visiting us.  They will accompany us to listen to Monica Brown who will be performing a concert at 10am in the church.  They will also stay and join us for a few activities.  Friday will be a nice opportunity for our catholic school children to spend some time together get to know one another.  (Mrs Ward will also be able to see her lovely daughter Jess, who teaches at Holy Family School)

Homework will again be reading, spelling, basic facts knowledge, times tables, study ladder and e-ako tasks.  

That's all folks.  Have a great week.

Mrs Lyon

p.s.  Many of the kids included a little of themselves in their Matariki presentations last week.  I loved seeing what they used to show a little of themselves...some cute animals, some hillarious jokes and some very cool pictures.  Well done to the children of Room 5.
p.p.s. This meme is not related to anything regarding Room 5 this week, but I liked it so it made the cut!
