See what we've been learning!
Good afternoon all
Here we are in the final week of term. We moved from a bright and sunny week 1 to the cold and wet we are experiencing now. The heaters have been switched on so students and teachers alike can enjoy a comfortable classroom.
As we finish the term, there are another set of highlights coming up:
Recognition assembly 2 July at 12:30 - thank you to the parents who are able to attend - your child will love having you there.
3-way learning conferences ( more detail below) SCHOOL CLOSES AT 1:15pm Thursday 2 July
3 July - last day of term School closes at 2pm.
Road Patrollers Treat - Friday 3 July (nominated students will receive a note)
School reopens on MONDAY 20 July
Did you know:
Your efforts to get your child to school each day has given us a term average of 89.5%. The girls beat the boys' attendance by a mere 1%! We’ve still got the wet July and August to get through so let’s accept the challenge to maintain or even beat this mark. The class winning the weekly award is Room 4 with an amazing 95% attendance rate. Thank you parents!
The final Writing Awards for the term have been awarded to Elainah (Rm 1) and Alexsia (Room 8). Do make time to read the displays when you are at school.
3-way learning conferences
With the numerous changes the MOE has put in place around the NZ curriculum, followed by the new reporting requirements as well as the testing changes - it is very important that every family attends the planned 3-way learning conferences on Thursday 2 July. In response to the required changes - our school has adapted the school report as well as used the 5 new descriptors to evaluate your child’s achievement placement. If you have not yet booked a time via the note sent home on Thursday, -make contact with the teacher(s). We’ll be available from 1:30 - 6:50pm on Thursday.
Food for Thought
Take Care of Yourself: Prioritise your own self-care and recognise your personal triggers so you can effectively care for your family. This allows you to stay calm during emotional outbursts - especially if you have pre-teens in the house. You are their anchor, so modelling emotional regulation helps them learn to calm themselves and engage using appropriate language.
Keep warm, stay well
