Phew! We cannot believe how quickly the first term has flown by. You should be super proud of your wee ones, they have worked hard and our recent assessment shows they are all progressing in leaps and bounds.
Amber, Talia, Lisa, Nicola and myself have all really enjoyed getting to know you more this term, thanks for all of your amazing, ongoing support with our tamariki.
Here are a few pics from our Learning through Play sessions this week: We are always astounded by the creativity, problem solving, caring, energy and delighful conversation that occurs during these sessions.
A few things to keep on your radar for next term:
-School reports will go out mid term
-Whānau learning conferences will be scheduled for later in the term
-No sunhats required next term! (these should have arrived home today).
-We have Cross Country happening in the first few weeks of school and will need some parent helpers to mark out the course and marshall. More info to come.
-Next term both Talia and Amber's homegroups will participate in Kapa Haka sessions. Sarah's class will join back in, in Term 3.
-Our overall theme for Inquiry this year is change. This term we have had a Health and P.E/Art focus. Next term the focus will be Technology. We will be looking at Toys through time-how they have changed and how we could adapt/create a fabulous new toy.
-Please collect cardboard boxes over the break. We will be needing these as part of our Technology sessions next term.
-We have planned a trip to Ferrymead Heritage Park in the third week of term. I will be requesting parent helpers for this via a google form over the holidays so keep an eye out.
Please have a safe, happy and relaxing break! We will see you all rearing to go in a couple of weeks.
