Week 4 Home Communication

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

Kia Ora, 
We can't believe that we are into Week 4 of Term 2.  We are so proud of our team who got to teach a younger team how to Scratch code this week.  It was great to hear them reflecting on how their teaching went, and we look forward to more teaching opportunities.  Have you tried their game?

INQUIRY TRIP
We are in the midst of organising an Inquiry trip for Wednesday 6th of June.  This will connect with our learning about native plants.  As soon as we have had quotes returned, we will send the notice home via email/paper.

INQUIRY
This term, we are looking at what are the best conditions for native plants to grow at Silverstream, and how we can produce native seedlings to thrive in this environment.  We have already started with pH testing of different liquids, before we move onto soil.

TEACHER ONLY DAY
Below is an excerpt from the newsletter that was sent out last week:
In addition to these events, our Community of Learning (Kahui ako) will meet
at a teacher only day on Friday 31 May. This will involve 9 Kaiapoi schools and provide
teachers with professional development alongside those from neighbouring schools. We
hope this will offer families the opportunity for an extra long weekend when combined with
the Queen’s Birthday holiday on Monday 3 June.
