We finished out our swimming for the year on Thursday last week - check out these photos!
We have a lot more photos as well - You'll be able to see more of these in our Portfolios.
Now that swimming is over, we are jumping head first in to our reading and writing programmes. A big focus this term is persuasive writing and reading non-fiction texts. We will post student work on the blog as we go.
On Friday Te Ako Kahikatea hosted Newmarket School's first full school assembly of the year. We put on a good show including skits, comedy, a song and dance. Here are some pictures:
Homework this week: Because we are tackling 'Fact Vs. Opinion' in reading, it would be great if everyone could read an article that catches their attention off either www.kiwikidsnews.co.nz or www.dogonews.com. Discuss what parts of the article is fact or opinion and highlight them in different colours OR note down on paper. Bring this in to school and glue in to your reading book. As always, reading eggs is a great resource for comprehension activities and books.
Maths: Continue our basic facts practice. Last week you used www.prototec.co.nz/maths - This week try http://www.factmonster.com/math/flashcards.html
Have a great week!
- Te Ako Kahikatea Teachers
