Buddy reading with our poems...

Learning with different tools...

We have been learning to form our letters correctly using the Ipads. We think Letter-school is a fun way to help us practise forming our letters correctly.

We have also been using the mac airs to explore sunshine online. Sunshine online is a great website that we use to help up us with our reading and writing. We learn about word families, letter blends, letter sounds and loads more!

Trip notice

Dear Parents

As part of our topic, ‘How Has it Changed?’, Rooms 1, 2, 3 and 4 have organised a trip on  Monday, August 26^th to visit Pataka in Porirua.

We will be splitting our day into 3 parts:-

a)    visiting Pataka and having a workshop called ‘Where do I Plug in?’

b)    visiting the Porirua Library for a story time

c)    visiting the Gallery at Pataka and viewing the Joseph Michael exhibition entitled ‘Dark Cloud/White Light’ and then an activity

We will rotate around these activities during the day.

As part of this trip, to get the best out of our workshop, ‘Where do I Plug in?’, we need to have parent helpers for each class.

Unfortunately this trip will not be suitable for pre-schoolers.

If you would love to come on this trip with us, please fill in the form at the bottom and return it to your child’s classroom. There will be room for you to travel on the bus.

We will leave school promptly at 9am and will return by 3pm.

The cost is $7 per child which will come out of the activity fee. Your child’s full activity must be paid for them to participate in this trip.

Sue Morgan, Ann Silcock, Amy Head, Jenny Schroder and Anne-Marie Gordon
