Room 10 update.
Dear Parents/caregivers,
Another term is flying by and the students have been extremely busy undertaking experiments and practicing for the Dance Festival.
Dance Festival
Our preparation for the dance festival is going to plan and I’m really impressed with how well the class is practicing - there are some quite complex steps!
What to wear: Can the children please wear plain dark clothing (black if possible).
Boys: long trousers and a plain top/long sleeve shirt
Girls: dark leggings and a plain top # if possible no big designs or logos
Science and Technology Fair.
The class has been a busy, bustling place this week and the students exhibits are taking shape.
The exhibits will be ready for display in classrooms this Wednesday 10th in the afternoon. Parents, grandparents, family members are welcome to come along and have a look.
# If your child’s exhibit is chosen for the Marlborough Scitec Fair on the 16th September (at the stadium), you will receive a notice detailing drop off/pick up and judging times.
Work ethic and high standards
We’ve been talking in class about working hard and setting high standards for ourselves. At this age the students are quite often working on 3-4 different tasks at a time which means they need to be focused and thinking about time management.
For example, this term they have been working on:
- poetry portfolio
- dinosaur study
- a piece of argument writing (class speech)
- Science Fair exhibit
- weekly grammar
A lot of our discussion in class is focused around being able to work on these tasks independently, checking in with the teacher on a regular basis to ask questions and get feedback.
Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday and at the Dance Festival.
# no homework this week
Regards, Matt Robertson
