Welcome back to everyone for Term 3. This term we welcome Findlay, Mila, Harry, Ella, Gabby, Sophie and Georgia we are so pleased you are here.
It was lovely to catch up with you all at our Ako conversations. It was great to set some new goals for the term and celebrate what has been going well. Literacy Thanks so much for all of the families that have been following up our class literacy programme at home. We can really see the difference in the children that are consolidating their learning at home. Keep up the great work. It might be a great time to check in to see if their home learning book needs replacing. These can be purchased at the school office.

This week we welcome Grace to our community. We are so pleased to have you here. Wow, we have finally made it to Week 12!! This has been an unusual term and a long term. It has been so lovely to have the children back at school but it is definitely feeling like time for a holiday!! We hope that you all have a lovely break and that the sun manages to be out for at least some of the two weeks!! Literacy over the holidays We will be sending the home literacy books home over the holidays with a couple of activities. It would be really great if you could please have a look through these and work on them with your child. We have really noticed what a difference it has made to those learners who follow the learning up at home. It helps with the retention of the sounds and words that they learn during the day. Snapshot reports On Thursday we sent home the mid year snapshot report. (Check your child's reading packet if it hasn't yet made it to you.) This is an indication of where your child is at in relation to the New Zealand Curriculum. It was sent home with lots of information explaining what it all means. At the Ako Conversations (early next term) we can explain these further and give you some more detailed feedback on where you child is working and where they are heading. Ako Conversations At the beginning of next term we will be having our next round of Ako Conversations. This is where we meet together with you and your child to share what has been going well and set some goals for the term ahead. We look forward to seeing you and your child during the 15 minutes time slot. The dates and times are as follows:
