Term 3 2015
Kia Ora
Welcome to another fantastic term.  Already this week has been full of fun, educational activities.  We have started PrEP and the kids are enjoying having a purpose to their Monday afternoons.  They are excited about learning to run a business and make a profit, which they will be able to spend on Market Day (the last day of the term).  In Studio 2 we have been finishing off our Dioramas from Term 2.  The students were given a brief which asked them to 'Create-an-animal'.  They were encouraged to use their imagination to make up an animal.  They presented their information about their animal in a Diorama, including it's basic needs, where it gets it's basic needs, where it lives and a description of their animal.  The students will be presenting these to the class and then bringing them home to share with their families.  Here are some photos from our first week at school.

Please keep the communication going between you and your child about what they are doing at school.  Often when you ask your child 'What did you learn at school today?' they will say 'nothing'.  My own children would say the same thing.  Try asking them 'What whats something good that happened today?' or 'What did you enjoy about your day at school today?'.
Have a great weekend and don't forget to come and see me anytime, about anything.
