Week 7 Class Update

I think last Tuesday was the highlight of the year so far for Room 15 and Pouakai Syndicate.  Both students and teachers looked awesome in pink.  Everyone made an effort to show pride in who they are, not just by their attire but by the way they competed in the various athletic events.  It will be interesting to see who makes it into the inter-intermediate competition. Special mention for Reilly Makea who blew all the teachers away with his amazing throwing ability in the Vortex.

Some of us are getting over our recent fame, we were photographed organising the can drive for Christchurch and put in the local paper. Hashzyre is also our resident TV star winning a spot on the "I love rugby because..." advert. Keep an eye out for him.

Learning conferences are on this Thursday 17 March and the following Monday 21 March.  It is really important that we meet to discuss the learning direction for your children. I have given your child a sheet that has your time. Please come a few minutes early just to have a look around the room and see your child's work up on the wall.

This week we are finishing our Statistics Unit. We have been exploring mean median and mode and constructing different graphs. Next week we are starting our Addition and Subtraction unit. It will be great if you all good make sure that your child is completing at least two basic facts tests a week at home. This is part of their homework.  I have been impressed with the standard of some of the homework which is being handed in, I would like to see more.  Your children know what their homework involves and what is required of them, please ask them to share this with you if you are unsure.  Every student has homework!
