It'll be a reasonably busy week in Room 5 this week as we begin the downhill slide to the summer holidays. Spelling, reading and maths homework will be the same this week. Please ask your child to share with you how they can solve addition and subtraction algorithm problems as well as 2 digit multiplication using the box method of problem solving. We have been learning these strategies in class and as our place value knowledge is strong enough, the children are loving the success they have with these little maths gems.
I have signed up to the Free books in schools Kelloggs promotion for 2018. You may start to see this promotion advertised on Kelloggs product at New World. If you are able to support our school by purchasing these products and nominating our school online via the details on the packets, we will receive free books in our school next year - Thanks to School Kit and Kelloggs for this wonderful promotion. Encourage your family members and friends to do the same and we receive a pile of books. Last year we received around 30 new books!
Singing eisteddfod is coming up soon. I will open up the opportunity for a practise run should any child want to have a warm up to their singing performance before I officially give them a mark. The presentation to the class for singing will be held early in Week 8. Please support your child in getting their song ready. The more prep, the less stress and worry!
SWIMMING CATCH UP LESSON!!! On Tuesday this week there will be a catch up swim lesson held at the pool. The lesson will begin at 1:30pm and will run for an hour. Please ensure your child brings their swimming gear to school on Tuesday so that we can all enjoy our last lesson for the year. Late addition to this notice - PJ's are to be worn!
Mrs Donaldson will be in class on Monday morning and on Tuesday Kerrin Annan will be relieving as I am attending the Otago Athletics Sports in Dunedin.
Have a great week.
Mrs Lyon
