Term 2, Week 5

Hi all,

Thank you to those of you who attended School Mass this morning.

This week at school we will be busy preparing a piece of narrative writing for assessment.  The children will receive success criteria for the writing task on Monday and we'll work on the piece during the week.  Please encourage your child to discuss what they are writing about and how they might use various language features to improve upon their drafts.

Year 5 and 6 writing at Level 3 of the curriculum should include the following:

• Content relevant to the task, including detail to support main ideas
• Ideas should be grouped in paragraphs
• Simple and compound sentences using correct grammar with an attempt at complex sentences using mostly correct grammar.
• Words and phrases should be specific to the theme of the writing.  

Testing for reports

I'll also be testing reading and maths this week as reports are due to be prepared for the end of the term. 

Tuesday morning I'll be on release for an hour and a half and Mr Hogue will be teaching science in Room 5.

RIPPA TOURNAMENT

Some of the senior students at school will be involved in a Central Schools Rippa Tournament on the 8th of June at Molyneux Park (postponement date is the 9th of June).  The following children have put their names forward to play and it's important that they register with the NZRFU to play in this tournament.
