Last week of Term 2

Hello. 

For the past weeks we have been doing a student led inquiry that includes painting, building and testing.  We have made things that could help our world with simple materials like cardboard, a Pringle can, etc. 

We also have been learning about Matariki and the 7 stars.  After watching a video about the 7 stars, we have done a recount of what we have learned.   Room 4 also did art about Matariki and the 7 stars with pastel and a pencil. 

Since this also is the last week of the term, we sure will miss our friends and classmates.  Though its 2 weeks, some people can't stand being away from their friends (Kelly..)
Well, see you soon!

Week 3 by Kelly & Yasmin

Hi!

In week 3, term 1 we had a very busy week going swimming, making our student leader speeches and more! When we were going swimming we had swimming instructors. We learned how to scull and tread water, the help sign, a mushroom float and a slide entrance.

On Wednesday, it was VALENTINES DAY!! We also had WHANAU NIGHT!! At Whanau night all the kids showed their parents around the classroom, showed them their work and introduced them to the teacher. There was also a free SAUSAGE SIZZLE!

We had a great week!
BYEEEEEE :)

Kelly and Yasmin!

WELCOME TO 2018

Hi everyone! 

My name is Miss Davenport, I am the teacher in Room 4 this year! I have taught many of the students already last year and I am looking forward to getting to know the new students in my class as this term progresses. 

Inquiry – This term our Inquiry concept is Identity, the students will be focusing on learning about themselves and their community. This year we have the TRS 50^th Jubilee and we will be looking into the history of our school. 

Library - Our library day is a Monday, at the moment we have been unable to check books out of the library but we should be able to do this starting next week! 

Swimming – This is a part of the curriculum here at Target Road and every student is required to take part in our swimming programme in term 1. Our swimming instructors last day was Tuesday 20th February so we will be continuing what we learnt in the pool to help us be safe around the pool. 

School Newsletter – This is a great way to keep up-to-date with what is going on at school and has important dates written in to make sure everyone is informed. If you do not receive this email already, feel free to let me know and I can forward your details on to ensure you receive this. 

Home Learning - At this stage we do not have an official homework sheet but will be keeping in touch with this in the next few weeks to ensure the students have a range of at home learning available. At this stage I have given every student a Studyladder and Sunshine Classics account that is accessible at home and their task for this week is to draw out our family tree. We are learning about Identity and our families are a big part of who we are!  

Class Blog - The students and I will be trying our best to keep up-to-date with the class blog each week, sharing what learning we have done and anything special that pops up along the way. So please keep checking, I will post notices up on the blog too! 

I am available each morning at 8.30 if you have any concerns – alternatively you can email me or book a time with me outside of these hours. I look forward to getting to know your child and family throughout the year and hope to form positive learning relationships between home and school. 

Thank you for reading our first blog post!!
