Term 2, Week 4

Hi Piwakawaka whanau,

Unfortunately we had a lot of absences this week due to sickness, I hope you all get well soon.

We’ve had a fun week this week with bike day postponed until Wednesday due to the well needed rain that came on Monday. everybody in the class had a really good try at riding whilst learning about bike safety. We’ve now got our school bikes out and the kids are practising hard at lunchtime as well.

Our letter of the week this week and last week was h. We made hats and helicopters. Although the helicopters did not work so we’re going to have another, modified go this Friday.

Next week we are continuing tall letters with the letter b. You could start asking your child if they know any words that begin with the sound of ‘b’ to help them.

On Saturday, Ethan turns 6 – Wow, a whole year at school – Happy Birthday Ethan!

Don’t forget that you can leave a positive comment on this blog and I will read it out to the class.

 

Week 2

It has been a bit of a messy week this week in Piwakawaka Room. I have been away Monday and I am going on a course to learn about dyslexia on Thursday and Friday (Mrs Gilmore will be working with the kids – how exciting!). However, there is lots of learning going on.

We are learning how to say the name of the letter, the sound that it makes and how to write the letter, plus coming up with lots of words that begin with the letter. Ask your child if they can remember?

We have also learned a song called “Tooty-ta” – the kids can show you how the actions go, it’s quite funny.
