Wow, we got here and I know that all our lovely children are ready for a well deserved holiday. I hope the weather is kind to us during the holidays. I hope to spend lots of time in my garden preparing for planting.
On Friday, the year 2 crew will be having a pirate party to celebrate our concept of enterprise. Children are asked to dress as pirates (school uniforms will need to be worn to and from school). We will be having a pizza lunch with ice cream for dessert.
Home Reading logs will come home this week for holiday reading. Please make an effort to encourage your child to read and complete these during the holidays. Our class would love to win the prize for most home reading forms handed in.
Thank you all for your support and I hope you have a lovely holiday with your family.

week 8 term 3
Counting down to end of term........
What a busy week we had. The Te Ngae maze was a great success and many children were able to apply enterprising skills as the made their way through the maze. Check out the photos on the Year 2 Crew page. Ask your child which skills they used. Once again a huge thank you to parents who came along. It has been a great priviledge to work so closely with you during the year. The positive effects of the triangulation in education between parents, child and teacher is so important so its great to see you regularly both formally and informally.
The children who were working with me completing their tessellations project worked so hard, persevering until their work was completed to a very high standard. I have also been very impressed by the quality of writing coming from my group. The children are now able to work for longer periods of time on their work and this is reflected in the quality.
This week we will be starting our assessments and portfolios will be kept up to date.
We will be completing the Peters Spelling Test, Basic facts 10 minute test and a handwriting sample.
I hope you all have a lovely week
