Week 7

Ahoy there!

 As we roll in to week 7 with cyclone Pam hot on our heels, we prepare for yet another full on week.

 Curriculum Hui: Over the next 2 Thursday evenings we are holding a range of curriculum focused workshops for parents. The time table is as follows:

 Hui 1 Thursday 19th March


  • 2 - 3pm Literacy moving through the years
  • 6 - 7pm Literacy moving through the years (repeat)
  • 7 - 8pm Digital safety for parents       (Andrew Cowie - Core Education)
Hui 2 Thursday 26th March


  • 2 - 3pm Mathematics moving through the years
  • 6 - 7pm Blogs and the future of homework
  • 7 - 8pm Mathematics moving through the years (repeat)

All of the sessions will take place in rooms 4-6. We look forward to seeing you there!

Camp: Thank you for the quick return of the camp notices and all of the parents who have offered to help. We still need a few more, so if you would like to come to either the walk up Rangitoto or stay the night please let us know.
Details of the camp:
Wednesday 1st April: Arrive at school at 8am or earlier. We depart the school grounds at 8.15am sharp - Unfortunately due to the nature of the trip we can not wait for late students as we must be in the city in time to catch the ferry.

 The return ferry leaves Rangitoto at 2.30pm - we are expected to be back at school by 4.30pm on the Wednesday afternoon where we will have various activities organised for the evening.

 More information about the camp, as well as gear needed on the day will be sent home shortly.

 Homework: 
As always, continue with reading for at least 20 minutes a night. Are you reading a similar type of text each night? Try changing it up! Read a news article, a novel or even a play.

 Here is a maths website that you can try: http://www.multiplication.com/ - there are heaps of games at a range of levels available. Ensure you are challenging yourself!

 Recipe Revamp: Do you have that one favourite food, that you know is bad for you? Have a look at the recipe and see what you can change to make a healthier option. If possible, bring both the old recipe and your new one in for comparison.

 Have a wonderful week

    This could be worth a shot - the brown rice flour will add an interesting flavour! Raw sugar and brown sugar are good substitutes for white. Excellent work, Levi
