Update about B2's learning

Hello parents,

I hope your children are keeping you posted about the class room learning.

 Writing- we have been learning to write descriptions. Please get them to do some writing at home.

Each group has a reading book and it is a must that they do their reading at home. Allow them to use the dictionary as they do this in class.

Maths we have been working on Number Knowledge. The year 3's are working on Place Value additions. I have asked them to practice this at home. 

Don't forget it's swimming tomorrow!

Greeting parents,

  Tuesday is B Pod's swimming time. Please make sure that your children come well organised and prepared for their swimming lessons.

Well done Palepa! for your beautiful presentation on the significance of the 40 days of Lent. You are striving for Excellence.

HUGE THANKS!!

Hello Parents,

B2 was buzzing in with parents for "Meet The Teacher Evening". I was very glad to see parents eager to know about their children's learning and how they could support them with their learning. It was a huge success and I hope you are all proud of your children's progress. I take this opportunity to thank all the parents who took the time out of their busy schedule to be a part of your children's success.

"Success is not the work of one, but the work of many" our school whakatauki. For your children's success we need to support one another.

Today St. Mary Mackillop was painted red as we supported a great cause,  "Red Heart Day". We had a special Liturgy this morning. Thanks for all your support and the gold coin donations.

  Well done Shaylee for making an awesome poster on the season of lent and the significance of the 40 days of lent. What a wonderful presentation, this shows you are striving towards excellence. A fantastic job done.

 

WELCOME!!!!

HELLO PARENTS,

SEASON OF LENT

Hello parents,

Today we start the Season of Lent according to the Liturgical 

Calendar. What is a Liturgical Calendar? How is this calendar different than our Yearly calendar? What do the colors on the Liturgical Calendar signify? 

 In class we have been discussing about the meaning of Lent and its importance. We will be learning about the 40 days of Lent and why it is observed? Please talk to your children and ask about their learning at class so they can build on what they have learnt during R.E sessions. 

Remember Thursday is a Special Day " Meet The Teacher" evening. Please do come by to say hello and look at your child's 

learning. I think they will be excited to show you some of their learning. I'll be looking forward to meet you all tomorrow.

Thanks

Exciting two weeks of learning!

Dear Parents and Whanau, 

The first two weeks of learning was very exciting and fun for the B2 community. For the year 3 students it is a new place, lots of routines and expectations. They are slowly but steadily settling in B Pod. 

Our schools big focus for Term 1 is Excellence which also happens to be one of the schools values. As a community we discussed ways we could achieve excellence. We came to the conclusion that each one of us has to participate and contribute to achieve Excellence within our community.

Charism : What does it mean and how did Our Patron saint Mary Mackillop display Charism in her life? What Legacy has she left behind for us to carry on? 

The Treaty of Waitangi: We have been learning about the Treaty and its importance.

We are also learning about Citizenship.

I would like to thank all the students who have submitted their posters on St. Mary Mackillop, The Treaty Of Waitangi and All About Me.
