Home Sharing Term 2 Week Five Monday 18th May

Nikau / Kowhai Home Sharing Term 2 Week Five Monday 18th May 
Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Home Sharing books: A reminder that all home sharing books need to be at school every Monday, to get the new spelling list, but we would like the home sharing book to come backwards and forwards from school every day so if necessary, we can contact you and share things with you.

Spelling: At the end of next week we will be testing the students on 25 random words from their list. 

Sports: Each Friday our team will be having a sports rotation - 10.00 - 11.00am. The sports are: handball, soccer, rippa, tapuwae and dance. Please ensure your child / children come suitably prepared with appropriate clothing.

Music: Each Wednesday afternoon, beginning this week, we’ll be having a team Music rotation which will include: GarageBand, Styles of Music, Orchestra, Ukulele and Singing. Feel free to join us if you have expertise in any of these areas.

Maths: Basic Facts are an integral part of our Maths programme and we have a regular testing time for these. Please continue learning these times tables in this order: 2x, 5x, 10x, 3x, 4x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x Maths Websites http://www.ictgames.com http://www.coolmath-games.com

Studyladder: http://www.studyladder.co.nz Your child has a password that enables them to work on activities in Studyladder.

Reading: Everyone should have a Library book that they can read at home for at least 20 minutes each night. Monday and Tuesday are our Library days here at school. We would like each child to have a book to read at home and one they can keep in their tray at school for “Reading” time. Have a great week.
