Term 3 Begins

Welcome back for Term 3, 2019. And just as the school holidays end the sun returns. It has been a busy week preparing for Student Led Conferences and learning new routines.

We have been working on our SMART goals. These goals are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound. By making smart goals we know we can achieve what we set out to do. We know "a goal without a plan is a wish." Check out the goals your child has set for Reading and Writing, and ask them to show their reflection on their Term 1 goals.

Piwakawaka are going to pair with Weka on a Monday morning to help them with their reading. We are learning the 5 Bits Routine used in their learning space so we can be the best buddy readers.

For our own learning we have completed the assessment on Reading Theory so we can use this programme to improve our own reading comprehension, along with "I think the means.. " during our group time.

During Maths we have been learning Talk Moves to help solve with buddies.
