Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you all and all the best for 2016.

Keep an eye on the blog for tips to retain your child's learning over the break.

Christmas reindeer art

Did you see the stunning pictures the Room 6 Shining Stars did today?

We drew reindeer by listening hard to where we needed to draw in lines and shapes.

The children completed their work independently and weren't allowed to come and show me their pictures until the end of the exercise, I was very impressed with the results, well done Room 6!

We showed Mrs Rout and Room 14.  They liked our work too!

Holiday packs

All children took home a pack of work for the holidays today.  The pack consists of photocopied sheets containing number lines, 100's charts, numerals, sight words etc.  They have already taken home packs of books.  A little bit of time spent each day, will help your child retain their current skills and may keep them occupied on rainy days (although let's hope there aren't too many of those!)

Class swap

The children who are moving to Room 7/8 went for a short visit there this morning.  While they were gone, Amika organised the other children and lead a game of alphabet/sound match, well done Amika!

Junior School Kapa Haka

Congratulations to all the children in the Junior School Kapa Haka!  They performed at the assembly for Irene Van Dyk on Friday and she was very impressed.  There are photos on Sheree Cargill's photography website which I recommend you have a look at!
