Monday 23th February Dear Parents Last week our PB4L (Positive Behaviour for Learning) focus was lining up correctly.

Thank you to those who attended the School Picnic. It was great to see you there. Kapahaka - The Kapahaka group will be returning again this year but a time for practises is yet to be confirmed. Mrs Henare will inform us when the group is to start. Well done to everyone who participated in the swimming sports last Monday. You all did really well. Other important dates: Parent Interviews - Wednesday 25th Feb Triathlon - Monday 2nd March. We will all be participating, and it's first thing in the morning.

There is also the opportunity for children who want to, to compete individually. Camp - Stoney Creek Ranch Room 15 - Monday 9th March - Tuesday 10th March.

Homework Week 3 Term 1 2015

The amount of time given to complete the tasks will vary depending on what is required. 20 minutes a night is a good guide, but children are very busy these days and if you don’t have time to fit the homework in some days, or your child is just too tired, that is fine.

Reading Take a book home each night. You might get a book from your teacher, your group browsing box or from the library. Get a member of your family (Mum, Dad, Grandma etc) to sign the reading log in your Book Bag. Bring your Book Bag to school every day. Books only go home in Book Bags.

Inquiry Complete a mind map of all the ’groups’ that you are involved in or belong to in your life. Example: Guides, Mum’s side of the family, Life saving etc.

Maths – New tasks are set on Study Ladder as we are now moving on to look at position and orientation.
