Kia ora Waitetuna Whaanau, it has been another action packed week. Well done to all of our students who made it to the Tough Girl/Guy Challenge (aka Mud Run) on Wednesday. The crew managed to find plenty of mud and lots of smiles after a fun day doing the Mud Run track. Thanks Whaea Ali for organising this.
To acknowledge Matariki and the end of the term we have planned a special Matariki shared kai. There will be soup for all and if you can supply a plate of food for shared kai that would be great too. There will be a mini assembly as the students have some learning to share. And also as I mentioned previously the teachers, students, board and I are reflecting on the year to date and this gathering is a great opportunity to share with us what you see as our successes for the first half of the year. Matariki is a time to reflect.
Reports home on last day of term—reports will be sent home with your child on the last day. If your child is not able to be at school on the last day please let us know so you can collect your child’s report before that. Along with Seesaw reporting our written report shares where your child is sitting against the New Zealand Curriculum expectations. The blue panel is the expected level. It is important to understand that every child makes progress at different rates and at different times. Teachers will certainly keep in contact if there are any specific concerns around your child’s learning. There will be time to discuss learning at the conferences next term.
Learning conferences (aka parent teacher conferences) date—these important opportunities to korero about your child’s learning will be happening on Wed 2nd August and Thurs 3rd August. This is where your child’s teacher, yourself and your child come together to celebrate, review the learning so far this year and then set goals for 2023—Wed 2nd Aug and Thurs 3rd Aug—bookings will be online. The online booking system will be emailed out in week 1 of term 3. Students are an integral part of these sessions and do preparation to share with you. If there is a matter you would like to discuss for part of the learning conference without your child present just let your child’s teacher know.
Have a great weekend.
