Year 3 & 4 Sports Session

By -
On Tuesday, the Sunshine team walked down to Redwood Park to take part in a combined Tawa Primary School fun sports session.  There were a variety of different games such as Rob the Nest, Tag, Paper, Scissors, Rock and lots of others.  The focus was on participation, encouraging others and having fun!  The Sunshine Team students showed a great attitude and were amazingly energetic given how hot it was.

A reminder to parents and family members that on Tuesday 4 April from 2- 4pm you are invited to come into Room 10 to view the classroom displays and find out what your child have been discovering in our 'Investigation Times' that started in week 6.  These sessions are student led so the child decides what they are interested in researching or discovering.

Check out our photos from the sports session.

Hello everyone, On Tuesday we had a very successful H20 Extreme Pool and Maidstone Park trip.  The students managed themselves well and they showed respectful and responsible behaviour. Today, we walked to Tawa Library and the lovely Librarian Shelly read three stories to us and then told us about the 'Summer Challenge' book review challenge for children aged 5 to 12 years old. Room 10 students were then able to enjoy reading books from the library.  We encourage you to give your child opportunities to read over the long break.  It is a special experience for families to spend time reading together and fostering a love of reading. Below is a timetable of up and coming events that Room 10 will be involved in and some photos from the trip on Tuesday and today. The weather has been fantastically warm so please send some shorts for your child to get changed into if they wear trousers to school.  We have had some children struggling with the heat because they  are not dres

Tena Koutou, It has been a fantastic term!  Room 10 students and teachers are now a whanau with lots of shared experiences and we are all experts in our class routines.  We thought it would be great to share some ideas of how you can keep your child's learning continuing over the holidays. 1.  Visit the Library - Let your child choose some books that they are interested in and choose a book that you can share as a family such as a Roald Dahl book.  They should be reading at least 20 minutes a day. 2.  Practice Basic Facts - Below are some web sites they might like to try: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/starship/maths/games/cross_the_swamp/big_sound/full.shtml   https://www.prototech.com/ Practicing time tables or making 20 depending on your learning goals. 3.  Make a Diary about their holiday experiences or a postcard with landmarks of the  places they go to in the holidays.  Write a review of a movie they go to. We have been impressed by the progress students have
