Term 1, Week 5 Newsletter/Home Learning....

Dear Parents

A big thank you to the parents who helped with transporting to and from the swimming sports on Monday and helped with the swim sports – what a great event with the students participating to the best of their ability!  From the swim sports we have 12 students from Room 11 participating in the Motueka Swim Sports on Tuesday this week.  This only leaves 14 students in class so Teressa Hosie will be running an alternative programme from a usual Tuesday with the remaining students from both Room 7 & 11. Last week rushed by with the Mapua Swim Sports, testing, working with mean, range, mode and median in our statistics unit and our normal learning topics this term.

This week will be camp, camp and more camp work…  On Wednesday the students will be participating in a Red Cross People Savers course, this is a kids first aid course that is great for the students to do before going on camp. 

You should have received another camp letter on Wednesday last week that contained a gear list, as well as details about our camp parents meeting.  This meeting is for parents who are helping out on camp during the day and/or night and will be held today in Room 11 @ 6.00pm.

Reminders & information: - Another gear list and camp timetable will come back today, as well as a transport list to and from Bridge Valley– a big thank you to the parents who are doing this.  On Friday a final letter will come home and camp parents more information for you will be coming out to you tonight.  A reminder that camp fees of $160 need to be paid before Friday please. 

Home learning is concern

ed with camp and the maths mate.

Yours sincerely

Dear Students

This week I would like you to do the following:

·       Complete maths homework (maths mate sheet  - Term 1, Sheet 4 – due in Thursday)

·       On an A4 sheet of paper (either on template) or on computer, state two goals you have for camp and eight lines on your pre-feelings before you go on camp (what are you looking forward to, what are you apprehensive about – look at the timetable of events to help you with this!)

Due on Friday
