Week 5 (22-26 August)

Welcome to Week 5 :)

Writing Inquiry Group
Starting this week until the end of the term, we welcome Carla Benton who will be working with a group of writers twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Carla is a trained teacher who is undertaking further study, and this is part of her personal teaching inquiry project. Thank you to our Kohara families involved with this. There was much hilarity last week when they met with Carla to create their 'code names'!

Classroom Release Time
Tuesday 23 August from 11-12.30pm.
Room 18 will have PE with Mr Lukes and Room 19 will have Art with Mrs McHaffie.

Cricket Skills
We have the opportunity to be involved with a junior cricket skills session on Thursday this week. Room 18 will have their session from 9 - 9.30am and Room 19 will go from 9.30 - 10am.

Staff Development
This Thursday 25 August we will both be released as part of our teacher inquiry into mathematics teaching that we have been part of this year. Miss Jess Uru and Mrs Jill Kelk will be relieving in Kohara for the day.

Spelling
New words for this week will come home on Monday. Have fun learning these - why not make the words out of playdough or write them outside using a paintbrush dipped in water! Please ensure children have their notebooks back at school for testing on Friday. No notebook = no testing.

Kapa Haka Friday

Library Friday - please remember to pack the library books as this is part of our reading programme for the week.

Have a great week :)
