Week 5

It still amazes me how fast time has been going! I did have a student say to me one morning " Mrs Waititi, that block went really quickly" I did reply and say " When you're really engaged in a task, it's going to go quickly!"Definitely lots of learning going on this term! Here's what's happening this week. Monday: Library Wednesday: Possibly Pass It. We have a catch up session owed to us. Also later on that evening the Middle School Teachers are running a workshop based around reading and Maths. There was a newsletter that was given out last week to the children about the workshop.

Class Reading challenge: Room 7 is taking part in a timed reading challenge, where they will be keeping track of how much time they read in class. For every 10 minutes they will get to graph how much time they have read for the day/ block and put this on our class chart. The goal for the term is to read "10,500" minutes this term. If all children read at least 10 minutes a day we can do it!! Mrs Waititi will be treating the class with an " Ice cream" afternoon when the goal has been achieved! Please encourage you child to take part in this and ask them every now and then how much time they have contributed to the class chart for a particular day!

Have a great week everybody!
