Newsletter Term Three Week 6

Hi and welcome to Week Six for Term 3
We welcome Mr Jason Prattley from the University/ Teaching College this week. He will be with us for the remainder of the term.

We have our trip to Badminton Hall on Tuesday. Can parents coming with us please meet 9.00am at the room - they can play also!

We are looking forward to more lessons from the Christchurch Boys High boys this week.

We took the Senior Assembly last week and the children looked great in their "country" clothes and enjoyed taking a gumboot throw and potato peeling competition.

Week Five

Last week we had a spelling levels test with a good number of children going up a level. We learnt about Badminton rules, had three PE lessons from the CBHS boys and did some persuasive writing. We continued with more Oral/ Visual presentations - Round 2, looked at Contractions in spelling and took the assembly singing a song called "Down to the Country".

Week Six
This week we will visit Badminton Hall, write some more arguments (Expositon Writing), work in our reading groups and look at Multiplication and Division in the Room 7 maths class. We will sing a song called "She'll be right", continue learning and pronouncing our mihi and participate in a powhiri.
