Car park Chaos

On Monday, a crane will be operating from the church car park. The builders are building the structure on the vacant section that will go over the deck area outside rooms 15 and 16. The structure will be lifted from the vacant section, over the carpark, swimming pool and into position. This means a large part of the carpark will be closed for most of Monday. If you normally park in the carpark, please find another place for drop off/pick up on Monday.

TEACHER ONLY DAY, FRIDAY 1ST JUNE.

Mary-Ann Roling from the Glenholme After-School group will be running a programme at our school. If you would like to enrol your child  with Mary-Ann please contact her on 347 0709 or 0211 215599.

Homework Club – Starting on Thursday 31st May

The Homework Club is specifically set up to offer extra learning time and support for our Pasifika students after school. Every Thursday from 3.15pm-4.15pm students can meet in the library 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.

Problem Solving in Maths

Wacky hair designs

Last week we wrote some descriptions on how we would like our hair to look. Then we drew a picture of our wacky hair to place on our heads. Everyone had fun, creating some amazing styles. Our main objective was to write some wow words and make our writing more interesting.

Big thanks to our wonderful Parents

A huge thanks this week to Lorraine Thomson and Bruce Johnson and Nana Jeanette for offering up their spare time-they have been a great help this week in Room 6.  We love having people in to help so let me know if you are available to come in and we always have jobs that need doing.

Also thanks to Kayte Colledge for bringing in the 12 kittens.  The class loved holding and playing with them.  If you have any pets that you would like to bring in please let me know-we love having animal visits.

Thinking and learning

Today we were busy with lots of thinking and learning. Some were buying things at the vets and giving change in 10's.  Some people were designing their zoo and making enclosures.  Lots of children were researching animals finding out what they eat, what their habitats are like etc.
