Week 5

Hello! 

WOW! We are half way through the term already! Where has the term gone!? Where has the whole year gone!? There are not many days left in the term, but they promise to be action packed!! 

This week we have been looking at Samoa and and it has been wonderful to hear all the childrens stories about Samoa and having them share their knowledge with the rest of the class! 

We have also teamed up with Rm 19 for the cultural performance in Week 8 and have started practicing, I can't wait for you all to see the performance it will be amazing :) 

The overnight camp experience is next week on Thursday and Friday. Please get your childs permission slip back to school TOMORROW! I would also truly appreciate your help over the two days! So if you can spare some time over those two days tick the box on your childs form and send it back to school or come in and see me! It will be a very exciting action packed two days that we are all looking forward to. Notices will be coming home about camp so please check your childrens bags every night for notices. 

The final round of testing for the year is coming up in week 7! Can you please make sure you are still reading with your child every night and keep up the hard work with maths as we are all aiming to move our levels come testing time. 

Any questions or concerns please come in and see me any time!

Term 4!

Kia ora!

Welcome back to another terrific term at Rowandale and our final term at Rowandale for 2013! My goodness this year has flown by already, hard to believe there is only 69 days until christmas and i'm sure those 69 days will fly by just as quickly.

We have a lot of exciting things to look forward to this term. We are having TWO discos this term the first coming up very soon - a halloween themed disco on the 1st of November. We also have our overnight camp experience coming up in Week 6 we will be needing parent help for this so notices will be going out shortly.

This term we are getting back into our topic 'The Pacific Basin' and each week we will be looking at a different Pacific Island so we have a bit of an overview of all the Pacific Islands. This is leading up to our cultural performance in Week 8 when the whole school will be performing an item. We will let you know more information closer to the time so you can come and watch and support your children.

Conferences are coming up in Week 3, I look forward to seeing you all their to discuss your childrens learning and their goals for this term.

This term we have gotten straight back to it in all areas. We have been focussing on The Gingerbread Man in writing. This morning we decorated our own Gingerbread Men on paper. Next week we are making our own and eating them which will be heaps of fun! :) 

I'm looking forward to another wonderful term with the Flying Fish and helping you on your journey of Soaring to Success 😃

Welcome Back!

Kiaora

Welcome back to Term 3! I hope you all had a fantastic holiday I can't wait to hear all about it!!

This week we are looking at friendships, what makes a good friend? We will be setting our goals for Term 3. Have a think about what you want to achieve this term in reading, writing and maths. Together we will work our hardest and give our best effort to achieve this.

I look forward to another exciting term in Room 12 with the Flying Fish :)

Get ready to soar to success!
