Week 8

This week our inter-school netball teams are at HSP on Tuesday.  Good luck teams!

In written language , we continue with narratives.  In all writing, we have a class-wide focus on the correct use of speech marks and paragraphs.

In maths we will be learning about fractions.  Remember that you can use IXL to practise the concepts learned at school.  20 free questions daily.

We have our first full school rehearsals for the production on Thursday and Friday. The shows will be in Week 9.
Remember boys need a pirate outfit.
A BIG thank you to Katie Deck for creating the girl's costumes!

I managed to catch up with Saturday rugby during the weekend and it was great to see the skills in action of the Clive and Tamatea teams which featured  4 current and 3 past pupils.  Well done Tamatea on a narrow victory.

This week, I am out of class on Tuesday and Wednesday undertaking assessments and professional development.

The robotics classes continue this week on Tuesday and Wednesday morning.  Thursday includes music and kapa haka and on Friday we have the school hangi (midday).  For those keen to see the hangi going down and listen to the storyteller, parents and children are invited to the school from 6am.
