Kia ora koutou,
Well it has been a very exciting term learning all about
different animals, their habitats and some unique features. Last
week we were fortunate enough to be able to go and visit the
Bonnars goat farm and see how this operates. The kids also got to
handle and see some of the new kids and bottle feed them too, which
was a great experience. Thank you to Earl and Louise for having us!
After that excitement we headed to Hillcrest High School to learn
about and see all of the amazing instruments that they had on offer
there. It was great to see the smiles on the childrens faces as
they played the electric guitars, drums and the cool digital
instruments. It was also very exciting to see their orchestra and
jazz band perform. This was an amazing opportunity, and they had
such a great time. A huge thanks to Hillcrest High Staff, Merv
& Wendy Cook and the parents who helped on the day.
Learning Journey Folders These folders will again be coming home
on Friday for the holidays. Your children and the teachers put a
huge amount of effort into organising these, and they are a
fantastic resource for students, teachers and parents alike. It is
important that you make some time to sit down with your child and
go through what they have done over the term and celebrate their
successes. It is also a time for reflection and goal setting.
Please remember to fill in the comments part for parents in the
folder and to check out the new
information about what you can do at home to help with your
childs learning. This has replaced some of
the other information in the start of the folder.
Mid Year Reports
These will be coming home in your childs learning journey folder
this Friday. These are to go alongside the
learning journey folders to give parents information about where
your child is in terms of the National Standard, and what they are
learning to do. It is important to realise that not all children
learn at the same rate and in the same way and for some that means
their children can be below the standard for some time and then
make huge gains at other times to be above.
Sammy & the Chickens Thanks to those who have given some
food for Sammy. We are still on the look out for more if anyone has
this available. If anyone also has a small coop or hutch for the
chickens and a spare water feeder, this would be appreciated.
Sausage Sizzle There will be no sausage sizzle this Friday due
to the disco on Thursday night.
Kind regards Jordan, Karen, Raewyn and Wendy
Term 3 Term three is shaping up to be even more exciting than
this term with our unit on technology and how things work. At the
moment the teacher are planning what this will look like, but it
will involve a lot of hands on experiences with technology and
creating interesting things. We are also going to have a speech
competition and we will hopefully be hosting other schools from
around Morrinsville which should be a great opportunity for people
to come and see our amazing school.
