Firstly, all the teachers in Te Ako Kahikatea would like to say THANK YOU! We are thoroughly impressed with the increased levels of engagement when it comes to completing homework tasks this term.
As a result of all this enthusiasm, class discussions and activities on the topic of junk food are considerably livelier and better-informed. The students are captivated by this topic, and frequently talk to us about the conversations they are having with their family on the issue of junk food. So once again, a big thank you for all your input. It is having a huge impact on learning.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Due to unfortunate circumstances the camp we were planning for term four can no longer go ahead. Instead, we are taking this opportunity to plan an EPIC end of term outdoor education activity and school sleep over. A notice will be sent home today (Tuesday) with further details. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
HOMEWORK
With camp in mind, we would like you to have a look at FITNESS. Why is it beneficial? How does it relate to what we eat? Have a think about what could be considered fitness and note this down in the comments below or bring in to class. Talk to your family about what they consider fitness as well - you may be surprised!Handwriting: We are starting out Handwriting rotation this week. Handwriting as a subject goes beyond how neat our writing is. Please read this article which gives a little more insight in to why it is important: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/03/science/whats-lost-as-handwriting-fades.html?_r=1
We would greatly appreciate this to be practiced at home as well. For some activity ideas, refer to this website http://www.teachhandwriting.co.uk/.
Maths: Give this website a go: https://www.thatquiz.org/tq-1/math/arithmetic/ - To extend yourself, have a look through the other activities the website has to offer, such as fractions and geometry tasks.
Have a great week!
