Thank you cards Mr Kearvell

Monday 3 March

Trip is postponed. River high, wind chill high and two of our drivers are fighting a fire in Ashburton.

Trip update

Well the weather doesn't look flash for Monday however it won't be enough to stop us going. We may restrict the tramp to a forest walk and return to school earlier depending on river flow and wind chill.

Students will need to dress for rain.

• Old sand shoes (running shoes) and woolen socks
• Shorts
• Thermal or polyprop base layer (tight fitting)
• Sweatshirt or fleece mid layer
• Waterproof jacket outer layer
• Hat
• Bring a change of socks and footwear for afterwards

Week 4

Now that swimming has been postponed to Wednesday our trip has been moved to Monday 3 March.
Thankfully our drivers and parent help are able to help on Monday so, This Time!!

Don't forget students will need thermal base layer, shorts, top and water proof jacket with suitable shoes that will get wet. They will also need small drink bottle and packed lunch.

Reading groups are under way and most material can be found on the LEARNZ website by using student log in. Look for easy background pages on the left.

Maths groups have also started on Addition and subtraction. Once I get the students at right levels I will send home practise sheets. Same basic facts test again this week.

Week 3

Well done to all those competitors in the triathlon on Friday. That cycle leg was hard work!

This week we have swimming sports on Wednesday and goal setting interviews Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday.

This week we will start some addition and subtraction strategies and continue describing settings in writing. We will start the reading activities on the LEARNZ field trip in preparation. All students should have selected appropriate reading books from the library this week and may take home. Please make sure they come back to school each day as they will have independent reading time in class.

Homework this week is Basic Facts maths sheets and to comment with as much information on what you learnt about the picture below.
