Room 5 News-week 2

30/4/2012
Dear Parents,
Hi everyone,
We are looking forward to our trip to the Waipawa Settlers Museum and Oruawharo Homestead this Wednesday.  We will be leaving HNPS by 9.15 and will return to school before 3 o’clock.  The children need to wear school uniform.  Please ensure they have a fleece and a rain jacket, a large lunch and drink of water.  If your child does not travel well please let me know and I will place them near the front of the bus and keep an eye on them.

Glued into the back of homework books is an updated essential spelling list.  Please keep working through the high-lighted words.  Re-visit words frequently to ensure consolidation.

Posted recently on the blog site is a slide show of Discovery Learning and our thoughts about war and ANZAC. On the maths page there are a variety of games to help learn and reinforce fractions which is our learning focus in Numeracy at the moment.  Just a reminder that two new homework tasks are set on the mathletics website each week.  Please encourage the children to complete these.

Remember to view our wiki page http://rimaroom.wikispaces.com/ and class blog http://hnpsjarvis.blogspot.co.nz/.  This is a great way to get the children talking about their learning.  We would love you to post some comments onto our blog.

Homework Tasks-reading, essential spelling words, mathletics, numeracy knowledge ladder and handwriting.

Have a great week, Sue
