Parent Help
There are more assessments again this week as unfortunately I was not able to get any parent helpers last week, so I am taking longer than hoped for and am still doing individual assessments this week. Children will continue to work independently at many stages over the week to enable me to work one to one with children. If you are able to come in and do an activity with the kids, let me know… i.e., read or tell a story, play cricket, help them during writing time, listen to children reading, listen to children practice their Manu K ō rero etc.

Mahi K ā ika
I’ll continue to send maths work sheets home this week. Once I’ve had an assessment with a child I will ask them to practice a special set of skills or games to strengthen maths skills I may even ask them to get a pack of playing cards as this is a great resource for many speed or basic fact type games.

Athletics Wednesday this week
The Year 2’s are competing/participating in the Junior School Athletics on Wednesday this week from 10am.

Manu K ō rero at Rehua Marae Friday 26th November
Kia kaha te parakatihi t ō nu tamariki m ā. This week we will be practicing with a buddy, will do our Manu K ō rero for the class and then build up to do our Manu K ō rero for Rm 11 and then TTRR. Thanks for the support to get kids doing their Mahi K ā ika on smartkiddies, great to hear that some of you a upgraded to have unlimited access to activities rather than the 3 a day! I’ve appreciated the prompt return of maths work sheest and the blue assessment Port-folios too. I’ll continue to send maths work sheets home this week.
