This week is the start of our Matariki celebrations, with week 8 being our official Matariki week. Our class will have a mini inquiry challenge around Matariki where they will have different challenges focused on different stars in the Matariki cluster. We have been incorporating more Te Reo and sign language in Room 12, so I am excited to see how we grow and learn together through our Matariki celebrations.
Over the weekend there were quite a few students from St. Mary's who received their First Holy Communion and Confirmation, including Emma from our class! Congratulations Emma, what a very special and blessed thing for you to have celebrated.
Just a few notices for this week...
Music and Drama classes continue on Wednesday for 45minute sessions each. It sounds like everyone had a brilliant time last week so I am sure this week will be just as fun! We are very lucky to have 2 expert teachers coming in to run these classes.
Homework Club – Every Thursday
The Homework Club is specifically set up to offer extra learning time and support for our students after school.
Every Thursday from 3.00pm-4.00pm students can meet in room 15 to complete any home reading or homework they would like support with. Parents are also welcome to attend, to gain tips and ideas on how to support learning at home.
*If you would like your child to attend but they are not Pasifika they are still welcome to attend.
A message from our Young Vinnies...
I would also like to inform you that this week I will be out of the classroom on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday as I have some courses to attend. We will have a lovely reliever that the children are familiar with in on those days and I will make sure everything runs smoothly.
Lastly, please remind your child to bring their homework book (or spelling sheet) back to school tomorrow. A new sheet will be sent home tomorrow afternoon. Thank you for your support with this.
Let's have a fabulous week! See you all tomorrow :)
