Kia ora Oteake families,

*Our Term 1 Art pieces will come home this week. This is a celebration of your child’s growing skill development and creativity. It’s hard to share this work with you on a school report. Please celebrate it together at home.

*We are looking forward to visiting the NZQA Top Art Exhibition currently on show at Central Stories Museum and Art Gallery after the library visit on Wednesday.

Kind regards, Anne

Kia ora koutou e te whānau. There’s plenty of great things going on in Haehaeata. I know many of the students are really enjoying reading with the residents at Castlewood on Mondays, and making some special connections. Every week I’m so proud of the way students are interacting and taking part in this. I hope everyone's looking forward to the week ahead, here’s the plans and the homework details. Thanks parents for the support you give to your children in their learning. I know amongst busy lives it can be challenging, but it really makes a difference!

Homework

Maths - A homework sheet will be sent home linked to current number work we are doing in class involving basic facts, multiples, and rounding numbers.

Spelling - Every student will bring home sentences and words to practise each night, as per normal.

Reading - Some students will be bringing home a school journal, they can choose a story or an article to read each night. It would be really useful if parents can listen to their child read, and then ask their child to retell the story or article in their own words.
