Week 4

Well done to everyone who has commented on the blog or sent in photos! Fantastic to see!

Today we were learning about the app 'Pic Collage' and we worked with our learning buddy to make a poster. We had to choose a background, take a photo, write some words, and put some 'stickers' on it. We are such fast learners! Today was all about learning how to use the App so we can use it in the future to make posters about our learning: like books we have read, maths we are learning, our inquiry... . Have a look at out first attempt at Pic Collage!

Room 14 - Maybe if you have an iPad at home you could ask Mum or Dad to download the free App and have a play at home. Make a poster about your reading book, fractions, your family, or maybe your pet! Post it on the blog for us to see.

Fractions



This week we have been learning about fractions.

Today we started with some bits of paper the same size. One we cut into halves, one into quarters, and one we left whole. When we compared the pieces and put them on top of each other we found that 2 halves are the same as a whole, 4 quarters are the same as a whole, and 2 quarters is the same as 1 half.

Your homework this week is to:

  •  Discuss what you have learnt with your family. I wonder if you could show me some fractions in your homework book?


  • In the comments section I want you to tell me when we use fractions in real life. Can you think of 2 examples? Get mum and dad to help you if you need it!

Assembly



Today at assembly we shared our self portraits. Jordana, Holly and Lochlyn were very brave and spoke in front of the WHOLE school to explain what we did and how. We thought being on stage was pretty cool!

Parent Meetings

Hi Parents and caregivers.
On Tuesday the 17th of February (this coming Tuesday) at 5:30pm all the Junior classes are having their parent meetings. This is a time to learn more about how your child’s class works and ask any questions you may have. If children attend, school age children will need to play outside unsupervised (on the playground, drawing a picture or scootering etc.) so we can meet uninterrupted.
We would love as many parents as possible to attend these meetings so we can meet you, you can meet the other parents, and we can deliver you important information all at once.
The meetings will start at 5:30 and will be no longer than half an hour. If you can’t make it please let the teacher know in advance.
Thanks
Team Ruapehu Teachers


Triathlon & Duathlon

Dear Parents / Caregivers,
Team Ruapehu Rooms 7, 8, 9, 13 and 14 will assemble in the pool area ready to begin by 11.30pm.   Rooms 11 and 12 will assemble at the pool area ready to begin at 2.00pm.  Triathlon children will race first followed by the Duathlon children.  Children without bikes do the Duathlon.

Please come along and support your child in our Triathlon/Duathlon, and meet us over by the pool. Feel free to watch from the hill overlooking the pool area. Leaving the gate area free will help us to get the children organised more quickly inside the pool area and keep this area clear and safe for our runners leaving the pool. Please do not cross the course when the children are running and biking. Bikes need to be dropped off in the morning at your child’s classroom. Your classroom teacher will set them up on the field before we start the event.  No-one will play or tamper with the bikes. 

Children need to take part in ALL aspects of our Triathlon ie: being a supporter as well as a competitor.  Supporters and their children may meet at the finish line under the Marquee or area at the side of the hall, to support and cheer on their class mates.

Please return the slip below if your child is able to bring a road worthy, correctly sized bike and a named helmet to school for the Triathlon.  There will be no sharing of bikes or helmets.  At the end of the day bikes can be collected from the Classes allocated spot.   

Let’s all have a fun day.

Team Ruapehu Teachers
