Your child can go on to Mathletics at home if you have internet access, this maths learning sight is interactive and a fun way of learning.  If your child needs their username and password come and see me.

Term One, week 6

Mihi o tenei wiki nga matua o nga tamariki i te ruma waru.

Over the past few weeks your child has been learning about Bucket filling and developing the skills to form positive, respectful and successful friendships with their peers, within the school, classroom, Te Waharua Tahi and the home environment.  We have our buckets on display in our classroom, so if at anytime you have a spare 5 minutes to come in during the mornings or afternoons I'm sure your child would be happy to share with you what they have been learning.

Nau mai, haere mai ki te titiro i o koutou tamariki mahi.

Pai o koutou ra me te wiki hoki
