USE AS A CHECK LIST AGAIN WHEN LEAVING

There was a mistake on the list. It said that they Year 5s had to have a fishing net. This is not the case. The list was printed before it could be taken off. We will be telling all of the students that they don't need this. I have taken it off the list on here.

If you have any questions about equipment or what the students need to bring please contact myself or Linda

Goal Setting and helping your child

Hello all,

We have enjoyed facilitating goal setting with you are your child this week. We hope that you have found them as valuable as we do.

Setting goals is important to help children guide and direct their learning.
Unfortunately the time goes so quickly and often there is so information going that things are forgotten. A lot of parents have asked about how they can help at home. The Ministry of Education have put out some fantastic information about where your child should be at for their year level as well as some helpful at home activities to help you develop their learning.

Supporting your child

Of course feel free to make contact if you have questions or concerns regarding your child. We always welcome discussion about how we can all help develop your learning together.
