 Kia ora wh\u0101nau, <\/p>

A big warm welcome back to school! We have been so busy these past two weeks the recent break is all but a distant memory. The kids and teachers are all glad to be back together and into our daily routine.<\/p>

We would like to welcome Kendall to the team (officially) and also our two new students, Eva Bath and Mae Harrison. Kendall's home group will have the addition of some new students who are currently transitioning from the Koru hub. They will start in Kendall's class mid-term. The children have met the new kids and are very excited to reconnect, build on pre-existing friendships and create new ones.<\/p>

Literacy Decodable Books:<\/b><\/p>

Literacy reading books will now come home on Thursdays. The process has been impacted with gymnastics these past two weeks.<\/p>

So this means that reading folders only need to come to school on Thursday <\/b>when your child will receive their new reader for the week ahead. Reading folders can stay at home all other days.<\/p>

Library days:<\/b><\/p>

Tuesdays-Talia and Amber<\/p>

Thursdays-Sarah and Kendall<\/p>


<\/p>

Inquiry Learning:<\/b><\/p>

Our overall concept this year is change. So far we have covered: Term 1-Health and Physical Education by looking at physical and emotional changes in ourselves. Term 2-Technology we studied changes over time, using Toys as the context. This term we are focusing on Science and looking at the life cycles of different insects and animals.<\/p>

We have started by identifying living and nonliving things and looking at the life cycle of a butterfly and a frog.<\/p>

<\/p>

Gymnastics:<\/b><\/p>

We had two great sessions at the CHCH School of Gymnastics. We are so proud of all of our tamariki for giving everything a go and putting in 100%. Everyone demonstrated 'We Love Challenge!'Get ready for the photo dump, there are more to come!<\/p>
