Photo story of Room 6 events

This collage lets you see what we have been up to over the last few weeks.  We enjoyed our Field Trip, EOTC is a great way to engage in " learning anywhere,anytime".  We have been learning about chemistry - making our own red cabbage pH indicator and testing acids and bases with some amazing results. The Visual arts are alive- we gathered dead harakeke, old sticks and stones from our playground to create these visual pieces. Tangaroa Team has been learning about architecture;  sustainable buildings for the rebuild of Our City- Otautahi- they used Lego as an ignition into their topic. Each alternate Friday we do Zumba, its fast and fun!

Term 2..What’s on

Room 6 Newsletter Term 2 2012

Dear Parents/Caregivers, Whanau and Students, welcome back.
Key Concept : SUSTAINABILITY
Core subjects- English-Mathematics-Religious Education are taught every day.
Writing – Information Reports. Daily Reading.
Addition & Subtraction- Problem Solving- Strand Measurement & Mathletics
The Holy Spirit and God Strand
Visual Art- Physical Education- Sciences-Learning Languages- ICT-Technology@Phillipstown. Music and Dance.
Homework- the students have a Diary- they are encouraged to read every evening; evidenced based research in education clearly identifies homework must be meaningful to have effect. Students who are readers are able to effectively engage with their learning across the curriculum. Any class work that is unfinished needs to be completed at home. MATHLETICS@StAnnes-. I hope you are able to allow the students to use the internet at home. I would be making sure however that they only spend up to 20minutes each evening.
The Year 8s and 7s began training last week for winter sport at Hagley. We are going on a trip to The Groynes on the 15 May; I would appreciate you returning the forms and $2 for the bus.
We welcome your presence in Room 6 anytime. If you need to make an appointment to see me; call in or phone the office.
Arohanui tatou,
Judi Parker
