Quick Catch Up

What an exciting week!

School Photos
Please have your child spruced up and ready to go in the morning for our class and individual photos. Ours is just before morning tea so hopefully they will stay looking good!

NZ Army Band
Thanks to Kirsten, Ange and Lynne who will be joining us on our trip to the Town Hall on Tuesday to see the Army Band. We leave school at 9:45am and will be back by lunchtime.

Student Led Conferences
Apologies of your time never made it home but I will attach with this email and also put a copy on the blog. This is a time for the children to guide you through their learning. There will be 2 - 4 conferences happenign simultaneously. We will start off together and then the children will go at their own pace. Rob and I will be available throughout the 30minutes to answer any questions and offer support if necessary.

Energise Me
Our topic will continue through to the end of the term looking at the human body and keeping healthy. We will use this as the basis for an inquiry next term.

Village22 Inquiry
This class is aiming to feed hungry children by encouraging the class to log on and use the webiste www.freerice.com Check it out and we will be using it for homework next week.

Rob and Burnham School
On the very first day of Term 4 I would love us to take Rob to Burnham School and dleiver him as a treasure - taonga to them. It would be a half day trip and the opportunity for the children to be part of a Powhiri at Burnham School as they welcome Rob and Fendalton School to their place. We have been learning about Maori welcomes and Mihi and would love to use these in context. Please let me know if you would be keen to come and provide transport for this excursion.
