Week 3/4

 Week 3 / 4 

Well done to our Team 7/8 hui certificate winners during week 3, which had a focus on one of our school values, Respect.  It is great to see so many of our learners starting the year with a positive, respectful manner! It was pleasing to see that this was acknowledged by the bus drivers to and from technology as well.

Also well done to Maotua on his special recognition for his hard work in maths and to Nico for completing a science badge in only week 3!

Learning Programmes 

Week 3 means that our learning programmes are up and running. During the week our learners have been completing some assessment so that learning programmes can be catered to their learning gaps. 

Mr Rodger and Mr Malins's literacy class were able to draw on Mr Rodger’s gunge making experience as a starting point for their writing. The facial expressions say it all! 

    

Our swimming groups have been focussing on developing their scientific knowledge and thinking about clouds in the afternoon. One of the groups made some time lapses of some clouds and made some water cycles in a bag. This was a great way to increase our vocabulary. 

Swimming 

It is great to see that our learners have been really organised during the week for swimming and have been making the most of their lesson time.  If your child is unable to swim during the week, can you please either send a note or email to your child’s teacher.  Hopefully the great weather continues! 

Week 4 Reminders 

• Swimming all of this week 

• Technology on Tuesday 

• If you have not yet returned your camp form, please get this in this week, even if your child will not be attending. Payment plans may be set up in the office - please see Mrs Honeybone about this.

Book Character Dress Up Day (from the newsletter) 

Friday the 5th of March (week 5)  is our Avonhead School Book Character Dress up Day. Your child may dress up as their favourite character from a book for the day.

We will be having a School parade at 9:10am to show off our amazing costumes. You are welcome to stay and watch this.

We know many children are already well underway with preparing their costume/ outfit for the day. Your child might like to bring along the favourite book whom their character comes from to share with their teachers and friends.

We thank family and caregivers for your continued support.
