WOW!!!! What a week we have had!!!! So much has happened and will keep happening...Ange and I feel as if this year is absolutely racing by.
This week the Sticky Questions have really got the children thinking and questioning their decisions. The children have worked hard as a team and have started to ask some great questions to challenge their thoughts and come up with really great responses.
Friday sport was fantastic! The hockey team, that I watched, played some great Hockey. They are passing the ball between themselves and supporting each other on and off the field. Great sportsmanship was displayed and all of the Yaldhurst participants represented our school beautifully.
We have noticed the children are really beginning to conduct themselves well and support each other to be successful learners. They are willing to have a go at new things and persevere when the going gets challenging. Great attributes to take into life.
Fractions and the column method have been our focus's in Maths this week. T.M South have focussed on Report Writing, and produced some great examples of reports. In TM North we have been utilizing our knowledge of Adjectives to write some Amazing!! Haiku. Please take the time to read some of these when you are in the classroom.
We were very sorry to farewell Riley and Ava Thompson from Te Mahuri today. They are to begin their new learning journey at Merrin School next week. We wish them both the best of luck and know they will have a great time.
In the week coming:
We have MATHS Week, this will be celebrated with some fun and challenging activities in the afternoon. All will be focussed on different aspects of Maths.
Wednesday and Thursday are our Student-Led Conferences. The school will close at 12.30 on both of these days. I do believe Kelly Club is open if you are stuck for somewhere for your darling to go for the afternoon.
Have a fabulous weekend. We look forward to seeing you all at some stage on Wednesday or Thursday.
