Week 7

By Julie Boyd - November 29, 2017

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.

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 ...
