Term 3: Week 10

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

• We are FOCUSING on identifying and describing current event issues (before and during) the commonwealth games.

Kia ora class,

At the beginning of this week we continue our work on designing 'Compare & Contrast' infographics. 

Then, we will do some literacy activities around punctuation and capitalisation. You need to start taking care of basic literacy tools that make a big difference when it comes to writing your assessments.

Ahakoa he iti he pounamu - Although it is small it is a treasure

As I leave the school this week I wanted to express what being in your classroom and having you as my students means to me. So, I found this whakatāuki that says it all!

Because, although I spent a short time with you, I will treasure it forever. I will always remember my first junior college students who taught me new things and accepted be as their teacher. Remember to treasure the small things that come into your life, the little experiences you gain at school through learning and socialising, and at home with your whanau.
