Kia ora Kawakawa whanau, 

Another weekend is nearly over. It was a perfect day for the show on Saturday and it was nice to see some of you when I was there.   If you were, I hope that you went and had a look at our class entries and also spotted the other things that class and school students had done. WELL DONE and CONGRATULATIONS to those class members who got a placing,  I was very pleased and proud of the work that the the class did.  I have collected all of the art work and the prizes for anyone who got placed and will give this to students tomorrow.  Even though Kawakawa became experts at cleaning up the mess we made, I have to say that the school cleaners were very pleased on Tuesday when we finally had our seed/grain pictures done.   

I am at school tomorrow but have some release time so Mrs Kennard will be teaching in Kawakawa for the day.  We have school photos on Tuesday so please ensure your child is wearing correct summer uniform for this, I will try and keep everyone looking 'photo ready' until we have our photos taken.  Mrs Livingstone will be in the classroom in the morning for my CRT release time. There is a whole school assembly on Tuesday afternoon and we are hosting this.  The assembly will be held in the Hall and will start at 2.30pm.   

We did SMART testing for reading and maths last week and still have the writing assessment to complete this week.  Both of the assessments took longer than I had expected which cut into our literacy time and meant that reading got missed out some days, so I apologise for this.  We will be doing our  reading programme each day this week so please look out for reading books in book bags.

In maths both Year 4 and Year 3 and doing statistics and collecting data.  In phonics Year 4 are learning about the suffixes ful and less and Year 3 are learning about the suffixes ly, er and est. In writing we will be planning and then completing our SMART writing assessment.  In topic this week we will be doing some follow up work from Harold last week.  We learnt about feelings and how to show resilience and bounce back when things don't go our way.

Please remember to return the permission slips for the Year 3 / 4 Big Day Out tomorrow if your child hasn't done this yet.  Once I have all of these back then I will work out transport logistics and when I have finalised the arrangements for the day I will loop this information out to everyone.

Have a fabulous week.  We look forward to seeing those of you who can make it to assembly on Tuesday.

Regards,

Julia
