Whiriwhiria kia eke panuku!
(Choose to be more!)
Welcome to Week 3 of Term 3. You should all be shared into your child's blogs. These are where the children are keeping a record of their learning and reflections, which you will see on Seesaw throughout the term. We are very proud of the collaborative skills that the children are showing (hence the whakatauki above).
TIMETABLE
Over the last few years, we have often integrated Literacy in with our Inquiry as much as possible (which meant that we were doing Literacy and Inquiry during the mid and last sessions of the day).
FIELD PLAYING
Due to our winter conditions, if your child wants to play on the grass, they will need a change of mufti.
CANTAMATHS
Good luck to our Year 6s who are representing our team at Ohoka.
DISCO
This year's disco is on Friday, 9 August 6-8pm. The theme this year is Dancing Through the Decades - so pick your decade and find a costume to suit! Entry is $6 per child which includes a goody bag and with DJ Straya (Vikki) we promise great music, games and prizes for the most creative costumes. Clarkville students only at this event please and you will need to have your tea before you come as no outside food is allowed.

We will be fully integrating our Literacy, Mathematics and Digital Technologies programmes, into the great 'Youtube/Website Company Challenge!' Hōpara and Matawara will be combining their talents, in across team groups of 5 students, and will be creating their own company. Each company will need to develop their vision and focus, and create content for their website that others will want to learn from or view. We can't wait to see what the kids come up with!
This programme will run Monday - Wednesday from 9:15am - 12:30pm and some time on a Friday, and will incorporate our core curriculum subjects, in addition to Leadership and our Pastoral Care programmes. Each student has their own 'home teacher' (not necessarily their 'team' teacher) who will be guiding them through this exciting learning, in addition to the associated assessment within it.
NOTE - you may receive Seesaw posts from teachers other than your child's team teachers this term.
DATES TO NOTE AROUND THIS -
The following are workshops that will run to inform you about the processes we are following for this learning. Feel free to attend all!
* Parent information Evening - 14 August - 5pm
DEVICES AND APPS
If your child has a device that they can bring to school, this would be beneficial, as the use of devices will be huge amongst our teams. The following apps or programmes would be helpful to have: Doink greenscreen and animation, stopmotion, imovie, google slides, google docs, google email, google drive.

Please send your child with a named water bottle as we won't be providing bottles of water for the children again
this year, this is to reduce waste.
Tickets will be sold prior to the disco via Kindo https://shop.tgcl.co.nz . Please purchase your child's ticket by
midday on Friday, 9 August. There will be limited door sales so buying your ticket on Kindo will guarantee entry.
You don't need to bring your Kindo confirmation with you, we will have a list at the door on the night.
If you have any questions about the disco please don't hesitate to get in touch with Krissie on 0274 782 114
