Thank you to those parents who were able to attend our Team Mass on Friday.  Thank you if you were able to contribute a food item for the food bank also. Homework: There will not be any spelling words sent home this week. Students will have short sharp lessons on spelling this week in class as revision.  All students have free access to Spelling City for 30 days.  Take advantage of this opportunity. It has some excellent resources for reading and writing also. READING: Read for 10 minutes + your age every night.  Remember the more you read, the better you’ll get!  Variety is important also.  Choose from a range of different texts such as newspapers, fiction (make-believe), non-fiction (true), journals and chapter books.  TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FREE READING PROGRAMME AT THE LIBRARY OVER SUMMER. This is available at the Hastings, Flaxmere and Havelock North libraries.   Registrations open this week so get in quick! MATHS: We are learning about PROBABILITY in maths.  Visit IXL to practise the probability questions. Keep learning your basic facts too - Remember if you know the basic facts in maths, this helps you enormously when you need to use your strategies! The free access to MathsBuddy ends at the end of the year.

Camp Akitio 2015

Room 4 students have just returned form Camp Akitio.  

Although the first day was a little cool (to say the least), we braved the elements and explored the rocky shore and built scuptures using the driftwood on the beach. 

We had fantastic weather on day 2 when we visited the sand dunes and a 148 year-old woodshed.  

We had a fantastic group of parents on camp with us. They were all very supportive and participated in events alongside the students. 

We are very grateful for their help.
