Two weeks until the school holidays - the children are starting to show signs of end-of-term-itis and winter tiredness, I expect they will be well ready for some down time over the holidays! Their eagerness to learn hasn't lessened and they managed to get through a busy week last week with a walk to the Hutt Library (thanks so much to all those parents who walked with us); Emily Naylor, captain of the Blacksticks visiting our Kowhanga; and basketball skills continuing on Thursday.
We had a great time investigating water last week with lots of thinking and questioning, sharing ideas and a desire to seek out answers. Our afternoons were spent experimenting, and these hands-on experiences triggered lots of exciting writing. We will continue to look into the water cycle this week, and we will start to look at how water is used (in anticipatation of a visit from something big and red the following week...) Many thanks for your support with your child's questions about water. They have enjoyed coming to school and sharing what they have found out.
We are looking forward to catching up with many of you this week during interviews on Wednesday and Thursday. Information as to how to book interviews is in last weeks newsletter, or you can pop into the office and Penny can book these for you. If you are unable to make it this week and you would still like to come in please let us know and we can make an alternative time.
Take care, enjoy the rest of your Sunday and see you tomorrow!
Claire and Amy
