Term 1, Week 1 Home Communication

Whiriwhiria kia eke panuku! 
(Choose to be more!)

Kia Ora, 
Welcome to Week 1 of Term 1, our first week of the school year.   We hope you have had a lovely break from the school routine.  The staff in Hōpara this year are Chris Goldsack, Nick Burson, and Lynn Moffitt.

If you have misplaced your stationery or packing list, these are on the blog.

SWIMMING
We hope to swim most days each week.  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.

* Goal setting day - Monday 28th January
* School (full days)  - Tuesday 29th January onwards

Chris, Nick, Lynn
