Welcome to Week 10



Kia Ora All,

Week 10 is about to swing into gear. Routines in Room 6 have been solid for a few weeks now, I'm familiar with the work habits of the students and we've got a couple more weeks to make the most of.

On Wednesday Top Team is happening. Hopefully your child has given you the information form that went home earlier in the week. If not, ask them about it. If you're able to help out with it please let Andrew or myself know.

I've really enjoyed seeing the different pieces of writing happening this term. If you've been following the programme closely then you will have noticed that we're moving from the more engaging and fun type writing activities to exploring some in-depth techniques for planning stories and including descriptive language techniques. I spent an hour and a half this morning finally sitting down to comment on the huge quantity of pieces that the students have shared with me that I haven't had a proper opportunity to feedback on. The vast majority of students have been working hard on their writing as part of home learning, which is awesome to see. Well done parents! 

I'll try to get another blog post happening before the end of the term showcasing some of the student's writing. However, in the interest of work/life balance this may not be possible...

Rock On,

Mr M
