Term Two Week Two

Ko te pae tawhiti whāia kia tata, ko te pae tata whakamaua kia tina. 

Seek to bring distant horizons closer; sustain and maintain those that have arrived

Kia ora. I hope you all spoilt your family on monther's day. It's week two, so hopefully you are beginning to see where we are headed this term (that's a travel joke).  The postcards from Auckland last week looked really good.  If you have not posted your's yet, can you please get them into my letterbox as soon as possible.  You will be using these from Week Seven so it is important that you complete them.  This week, we are going to revise our note making and note taking sklls.  We are going to use a KW Chart to record our knowledge prior to research and organise the research we need to do.  We will look at how we can use dot-jot notes to record our information so that we know the writing will be in our own words, so , please return your seats to an upright position, ensure your tray table is stowed and buckle in for the start of our journey.
