Ngā mihi

Mr Yeoman

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine!

This week, we welcome Lizzie (Miss Koonce) to Kopuwai. Lizzie will be joining us for the next couple of months and is looking forward to getting to know your children and working alongside them. I’m sure the children will enjoy learning all about her life in Iowa, USA!

Poetry and Homework Books

This term, we have combined the Poetry and Homework books, as many children were nearing the end of their existing books. Poetry will be at the front and Homework at the back, making everything easy to find in one place.

I have also added a 0–120 counting chart to the back page. This is a great resource for the children to practise:

-Counting forwards and backwards from any number.
-Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.
-Reading and writing numerals.

Home Learning 

Please continue to spend a little time each evening practising the Roll and Read words and writing the weekly spelling words. Short, regular practice sessions really help to build confidence and reinforce the skills we are learning in class.

Thank you for your continued support with your children’s learning. Have a wonderful week!
