Newsletter 1 May
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
After two weeks back at
school, it feels like we’ve never been away! I hope that you and your families
had a nice Easter break and were able to enjoy the long weekend. Here’s is
what’s happening in Ruma Kakapo this term:
Inquiry
We are learning about the
ANZACs and Gallipoli and what this meant for individuals as well as for New
Zealand as a country. Later this term, we will be going to the Waimate Museum
and, with the help of the South Canterbury Museum Educators, learn a bit more
about the Anzacs and the Gallipoli landing.
Maths
During the first two weeks
this term we have been learning about 3D objects in geometry. Hands-on
activities combined with Euler’s formula
V + F –2 = E have kept the
children engaged and learning. (Ask them to explain the formula to you.)
We will be returning to
number teaching and basic facts next week.
Student teacher
We are very fortunate to have
Joanna Miller join us for a seven week placement from next week on.
Joanna is completing a graduate
diploma in teaching through Christchurch College of Education and I look
forward to working with her over the coming weeks.
Home & School Lunch &
Visiting Performers
Order forms for this went
home a couple of days ago and need to be returned by Tuesday, 5 May please. We
also have The Playhouse theatre group coming to visit us for a performance next
Thursday. Please send $2 along for your child. Thank you.
Netball & Miniball fees
If you child is participating
in any of these sports and you haven’t sent the fees along, please do so soon.
Thank you.
