Hi Parents

The children did a wonderful reciting their poems on Thursday. 

I have uploaded these below.

Our school's ICT technician, Jackson, was able to retrieve our reports! He ran an auto recover programme on my computer and they reappeared in my reports folder. Thank you for your prayers.

Your child's report, class placement card for 2016 and next year's stationery list will be sent home on Friday 11 December.

Student Led Conferences/ Student Learning Celebrations

You should have received your child's invitation to their Student Led Conference. 

These will take place on Monday 30 November from 3.15pm to 7.00pm. 

The conferences will be in our classroom and bookings will be set at 5 minute intervals. This does not mean that each conference is only limited to 5 minutes- you may take as much time as you need. Other parents and students will also be present in the classroom at the same time.

Bookings for your time slot may now be accessed:

www.schoolinterviews.co.nz

Code: 6ARLU

This week your child will be practicing:

1. Showing their family where to sign the visitors book.

2. Introducing their family to their teacher. 

3. Sitting their family down and sharing their progress and achievement in their portfolio and books.

4. Showing their family their work around the room.

5. Talking about their holiday learning goals.

Student Led Conferences are exciting and the children really enjoy spending time with their parents, celebrating their learning over the year. 

I hope you can come.

Museum trip- This Friday

This Friday we are going on our Museum trip by bus, so we need at least 5 parent helpers. Please let me know if you are able to help. We have only had 1 parent offer to help so far.
Our class and room 8 will be picked up from school at 10.15am and delivered to the Rotorua Museum for a 10.30am start.

Each parent will have a small group of children to work with while we are there.

While one class does the Amazing Race in groups with parent helpers, the other class will be doing the session on Symbols in Maori Art.
Then we will swap over.
We will be picked up from the Museum at 12.30pm and delivered to school at 12.45pm.

Portfolios

This week we will be completing a few end of year portfolio assessments so that your child can show you their progress in some curriculum areas. 

Portfolios may not have all of this term's assessments at the time of Student Led Conferences as we will still have 2 more weeks to complete these.

Next week we will be starting Advent, so things are going to start getting very exciting within the classroom!

Have a lovely week.
