Week 3 - some notes from Room B

Testing

We are completing a range of assessments in class.  These include, PAT maths, GLOSS maths testing, Probe Running records, STAR reading testing, & E AsTTle writing.  These assessments are used to determine the strengths and needs of our learners.  The class has handled the vigour of these exceptionally well.  Well done.

Swimming

We swim most days.  Students must bring their swim wear each day.  Please check the class calendar for swimming days and times on this blog.  Many of our students are progressing well with their water confidence and stroke development.

iPads

Please work with your child to keep your child's iPad apps up to date.  The up-dating of iPads will not occur during class time.  Also, iPads need to come to school with enough battery power. It is important to regularly allow an iPad battery to go completely flat and then recharge it fully.  This will help to prolong the life of your iPad battery. iPads will not be charged in class.  iPads and learners need to be ready to go each day for school.  Well done to the children and whanau that have ensured that this happens.

Thanks, Miss Turner
