Week 4 Home Communication

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

Kia ora, 
Welcome to Week 4 of Term 3. Are you checking out your child's blogs.? These are where the children are keeping a record of their learning and reflections.  You are welcome to make comments on their posts.

We are well into our Youtube/Website Company Challenge, beginning with tasks and workshops that will enhance your child's knowledge.  Ask them about Storyboarding, and what they learned in Maths this week.

Remember that our parent evening is on Wednesday, 14 August at 5pm. This is where we will share with you how we are structuring the learning for Asplore, and the fun we have had so far.  We would really appreciate it if you could please send us a quick email to let us know that you are coming, so we can accomodate you.  Please email: c.goldsack@clarkville.school.nz 

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.

FIELD PLAYING
Due to our winter conditions, if your child wants to play on the grass, they will need a change of mufti.

ST JOHN WORKSHOPS
Our teams are lucky to be involved in St John workshops this next week.  Check in with your child about what they learned on Monday.

STAR JUMP JAM

Clarkville School will be taking part in JUMP JAM 4 StarJam 2019 on Friday 16th August. This exciting event is being held nationwide and will help us to raise awareness around disability and promote health and wellness in our community. Lexie and our Dance Troupe will lead a 30 minute Jump Jam session in the morning. Please show your support and donate a gold coin. Participants will receive a StarJam wristband. All funds raised enable StarJam to help young New Zealanders with disabilities unleash their full potential through the magic of music, dance and performance. We have Star Jump groups in Rangiora and in Belfast.
