Whiriwhiria kia eke panuku!
(Choose to be more!)
Welcome to Week 9 of Term 4, our last week of the school year. The above whakatauki says the words so nicely - thank you for your support of the staff that work with the children in our team, and supporting your children through their learning journey this year. We say goodbye to Helen, who moves back into Matawara, and Lynn will be working with us again next year. Helen has worked alongside and supported lots of children in our team this year.
PRODUCTION
For those that may have missed the facebook message: a big thank you to parents who helped in any way with our awesome production - whether it was costumes, listening or/and watching practising at home, packing up afterwards, unpacking, etc.
SWIMMING
The swimming pool is ready, and we have started swimming. If your child is unable to swim, can you please let us know (email, note, in person). Thanks.

MATHS
Hit the button is a fantastic game to help your children learn their basic facts. They can select the multiplication or division tables they want to learn, or do all of them at once. We expect all children to recall their basic facts by the end of Year 6 (this is with speed). Please help them with this, as it also helps with their computation in all maths areas.
Basic facts game - a fun game that can be done at any level.
DIGITAL SAFETY
We have had some parents asking about how to keep their children safe online. There is a product from Norton, that is a possibility. Below is a link to this.
