Week 3

This week is the Kids Sing practices and performances.  The majority of Room 6 children are involved in the choir and are sounding fantastic.

Remember - school uniform and black shoes.

The term focus is 'We are Explorers'.  In Room 6, we will be covering this concept in our speeches (more information out this week) and we will be exploring 'coding' (basic instructions for computer programming).

In maths this week, we will continue to develop understanding of measurement  - length and area.  At Year 6 level, this includes adding decimals.

The children will have logins and passwords allocated this week for Mathletics.  We have access for two weeks.  This week to practice and next week for the Tri Nations Mathletics competition. They will use this platform for homework for the next two weeks rather than IXL.

Coastal Cluster soccer notice will be out tomorrow!

Taradale Terror

Three teams of children from Room 6 took part in the Taradale Terror on Friday evening.  This involved completing as many of the challenges as possible in the allocated time!

Week 2 - in review

This week we have had the majority of the class taking on the Tough Guy and Gal on Monday as well as three teams tackling the Taradale Terror adventure race on Friday evening.

On Wednesday the, 180 strong, HNI Kapa Haka group performed in the hall for the whole school.

Friday afternoon, we had a visit from staff and children from HNI to promote their upcoming open evening.  Enrollment forms have gone home today. If your child is not attending HNI, it is time to contact the appropriate intermediate.


In language, the children wrote and published diamante poems mostly on the topic of the Tough Guy & Girl Challenge.

In maths, we have been learning about length, area, and perimeter.  This will continue next week as well as pratice for the upcoming Tri Nations Mathletics competition..
