Homework for Weeks 9 & 10

Wednesday 28 March 2018 No comments
Homework for Weeks 9 & 10 has been adapted, as we have two short weeks of school.  Please encourage your child to continue reading every night as well as participating in physical activity every day.  For mathematics homework we would love if the children would use their e-ako and Study Ladder accounts online.  For spelling, please revise the spelling words sent home this term.  The Spelling City website listed on the homework sheet is also an option to practise their spelling words.  You do not need to subscribe to this website, just use the free sample activities on the home page.  Thank you!

Welcome to Mrs Smith

We would like to warmly welcome Mrs Cath Smith to Room 11.  Mrs Smith is now teaching the children on Monday-Thursday.  Many parents may have already met Mrs Smith in the classroom or at our recent interviews.  If you are yet to meet her, feel free to pop in and say hello.  You can also contact Mrs Smith via email caths@georgestreet.school.nz



Thank You!

A big thank you to all of the parents and grandparents who helped us with our swimming programme.  The children have made great progress with their swimming skills and we also learned how to safely walk to and from the pool thanks to you!
