Welcome to Week 3

Hi friends- Kia ora Tatou

We hope you have all enjoyed a great weekend.

Week 3 brings a few familiar activities.  We are due to visit the Hutt LIbrary again on Tuesday so we are very hopeful that someone will be able to walk with us. Please let me know if you are able to join us.  We leave school at 11am and return by 12:30.

There will be a home learning sheet coming home on Tuesday as many are at the cricket tomorrow.  We are establishing a basic facts programme that will give the children great skills and the ability to progress at a rate that suits their learning. More information about this soon.  

The kids really enjoyed meeting the characters behind the "Learning Powers" and we will look further into these this week. 

A Seesaw notice was sent home on Friday and I followed it up with an email on Saturday which has an easy link to access and log in.  The is a learning journal that enables you to see, like and comment on your child's learning.  If you are wanting some more information or having difficulty logging in please contact me.  

Please check in with us on the blog

Some really enjoyed the water option on Friday at Team Time.  As a group we decide on what choices there will be but if the weather plays the game then there will definitely be a wet option this week. 

Have a great week.

Day #2

Fun ways to Learn

Today we thought about lots of ways that we love to learn.  We then decided what our favourite way to learn is. We made it into a wordle to see what was the most popular.

This may help us decide on a way that best suits the task and the learning we are doing. A good range of activities is great to keep us learning in a fun way.
