Project sharing

 It was great to host so many whanau in R4 today, and last week, to share in our project learning.  The students really enjoyed showing off their learning. 

 

This afternoon we spent some time programming our MBots. We were trying to work together to synchronise them. 

Anzac Biscuits

 Today Viv came in to bake some Anzac biscuits with R3/4 students.  We are so lucky to have volunteers who help our children learn. 

Please read the message below regarding 3-way conferences early next term.

How to make a booking

Bookings are now open. How do parents make a booking for their child's Three-Way Conference?

There are a number of ways bookings can be made. Either:

1) Go to the School App and then the Links section then School Interviews. Enter the code akwma

2)  Go to www.school interviews.co.nz and enter the event code akwma

When making the booking parents will get the following message: 

Thank you for booking an appointment for our Term 2 Parent/Student/Teacher Conferences. Ten minutes is allowed for each appointment. If you are late for your appointment you are likely to be asked to rebook for another time. This is because the class teacher needs to consider the bookings made by other families and keep to the times they have booked for. We look forward to seeing you and your child at the conference.

Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday

 Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. We had an awesome Liturgy in class which was prepared by Mrs Dobson and Mrs Mines, our DRS team. We had our Lent promises blessed by Father Thomas yesterday and then put on our forehead in the sign of a cross today to show our commitment. 

We also made pancakes, a lot of pancakes, with Grandma Gail and ate them for morning tea. This was to celebrate Shrove Tuesday which was yesterday.
