Dear Parents and Children of Room 6 2017
Welcome back to Haumoana School for another year of learning. I hope that you all had a great holiday and I am looking forward to hearing about your adventures.
In Room 6 we will focus on developing a Growth Mindset (Carol Dweck) which can assist all learners to accelerate achievement across the curriculum.
This year Room 6 will again be a one-to-one digital classroom where children will have access to PCs, netbooks, Chromebooks and iPads to assist and enhance their learning.
I believe technology combined with a range of physical challenges and competitions along with a focus on the basics can assist children to become enthusiastic, independent 21st century learners.
Room 6 operates within the ‘Senior Team’ but as a senior class have many extra opportunities and commitments. There is also a strong focus on leadership and preparing for life beyond Haumoana School.
I value communication and all class events will be posted on the class blog shortly. This will be regularly updated with notices, photos and examples of children’s learning.
Check out last year’s blog http://room06haumoana2016.blogspot.co.nz for a taste of Room 6 learning. All children will have their own blog to share their progress and learning early in Term 1.

Class camp has already been booked and will take place at Camp Kaitawa adjacent to Lake Waikaremoana in Term 3 (24-27 October 2017).
