Over the last couple of days our school has been visiting the Bluff Marae to learn about Maori culture.
We are a rural school in Tokanui. We have New Entrant and Year 1 students in our class and currently have 16.

We had so much fun with Theresa today. We watched a movie about Harold. We learnt how people and animals breathe.

Welcome to Term 4
Kia ora and Welcome back to Term
4.
If your child doesn’t quite have
enough hours in the week to complete their homework, which is understandable
with busy lifestyles, please write a note and send the homework back on
Fridays.
The book the children take home
will be either taught to the child that day or one from their browsing box. It
is important for reading to happen every night. Get your child to read some to
you and you can read some to them to make it more enjoyable.
Library books are due each Friday
and new books will be issued.
Rainbow/Star word lists will be
provided that can be practised at home as well as in class and then when ready
a test will be held. If all is correct they will move onto the next list. After
completing all these lists they will have to spell them all before moving to
Essential Spelling lists. Spelling will be tested every Friday and new words
will be given out on Mondays.
Our Oral language programme for
news happens every day with a specific focus each day apart from Thursday which
is Bible-in-Schools time. Your children will be working in buddies for news
time each day apart from Fridays where the children will share their news to
the whole class.
The timetable is will be in the
homework books.
If you have any queries or
anything you would like to talk about, please don’t hesitate in contacting me
at school.
Thank you
Tina Thomson
