Term 2, Week 1 Home Communication

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

Kia Ora, 
Welcome to Week 1 of Term 2.  We hope you had a lovely break from the school routine and ready for a wonderful term of learning.

SEESAW
Over the holidays, you should have received three rubrics on Seesaw (Writing, Reading and Mathematics).  We will be working with these during Term 2, and any Seesaw posts coming home about these three curriculum areas will refer to these rubrics.

DEAR
This term, we are planning to have DEAR (drop everything and read) most days.  We would appreciate if your child has a chapter book to read, in their school bag (hopefully one that they are reading at home as well).

INQUIRY
Last term, we looked into the meanings of ecosystems and biodiversity, and how they related to us and Silverstream Reserve. This term's Inquiry focus will come out in the next few weeks. Here is a link that leads to an ecosystem game that is rather awesome (have a look around at the other games too): https://pbskids.org/plumlanding/games/ecosystem/feed_the_dingo.html.
