Nora's Home Learning

 Nora has used our class 'Choice Board' to complete some learning at home. She followed the instructions to create her very own origami fish. Doesn't it look cool!? Then she taught her sister Franny how to create one too. Tino pai Nora!

Post a comment below telling Nora what you think about her origami fish. 


Nora has also created a slideshow about a famous New Zealand landmark which is right in our Auckland backyard. Check out the interesting facts Nora has learned. 


Homework from Google Meet (Monday, 1st March)

Your homework is to see if you can enter your Google email and drive today. If you can, send Jennie an email from your email address showing that you have been able to do this.

Here are two maths challenges you might like to try today at home. Remember to look at the key words in each sentence to help you solve these problems. Bring your ideas to share at our class Meet on Tuesday (2nd March).

Buddy Class Visit

 Room 17 enjoyed meeting their buddy class Room 7 last week when we dropped to Alert Level One. We all enjoyed playing a game out in the sunshine. 


We're looking forward to spending more time together when we return to school.

Home Learning Information

Reading

This year your child will be asked to select their own book to read for enjoyment at home. This may be a book from home, a library book or a book from their group box at school. They should aim to read for at least 10 minutes each day and record this in their school Reading Log. 

You could support your child's learning by asking them to tell you about the book that they are reading,  or to retell the story to you. You could also ask them a few questions about the text. 

Reading Logs need to be brought to school each Friday for the teacher to check.  


Spelling 

Our Spelling and Phonics programme will run during class time this year. If you have any queries about this please let us know. 


Extra Homework 

An optional weekly homework task will be available to students later in the year. This will be provided to them on a Monday and presented on a Friday to their classmates. We will keep you posted on this! 


Contact us

If you have any questions about homework or your child's learning, please come and chat with us before school between 8.30 - 8.55am or by email at dstrong@owairaka.school.nz or jhand@owairaka.school.nz.

Freya's Home Learning

Freya has been busy collecting plastic rubbish around her neighbourhood with her sister Zoe. 

They were shocked at how much plastic they were able to find in only 10 mintues!

Well done for starting your 21 day challenge Freya and Zoe. Hopefully we all start to notice, and collect all of the waste plastic rubbish in our community and begin to reduce how many plastic products we use during the next 21 days.
