Dear Parents/Whanau
Welcome back to term 4. I can’t believe we are at the end of the year already and there is only 10 weeks to go until the end of 2016.
This term is very busy and we have lots of exciting things planned. Swimming will be starting in a few weeks time once the water gets warmer. Please ensure your child has their togs in a plastic bag along with their towel. We have swimming caps at school as well.
We will be planning an end of year trip more details to come soon. This term our Inquiry focus is connected to the world. Room 8 are going to be investigating how as a school we connect to the world by using technology and by generating questions that further explain how we can show what makes our class amazing.
Room 8’s class blog is http - kwsbirchall.blogspot.co.nz The children love having their mahi commented on please come and visit our blog so you can capture your child’s learning in action.
I would really appreciate your continued support to listen to your child read each night, please record their learning in the reading log. Some tamariki already have read nearly 75 nights in a row!! Please remember they need to bring their book bag to school each day.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me via phone, email or a school visit.
Your continued whanau support is everything to your own child!
Mrs Louise Birchall ( Kaiako)
Have a great weekend with your precious children.
Mrs Birchall and Room 8
