I hope that you had an enjoyable long weekend and welcome back to a short week.
Robyn Holt - maths advisor will be working with me and groups of stdduring maths sessions over the next few weeks and we have Ms Rarere (CT) observing and helping out for 2 days.
We have an orienteering practise on Wednesday afternoon and the Duathlon Champs mid-morning on Friday.
All children should have their Term 2 Goals on their Blogs (there are also some impressive presentations on ANZAC and WW! in progress). Make sure that you discuss these goals with them.
As well as their goals, we are learning to use a 'Growth Mindset' to think about and discuss our learning. The GREEN is what we are aiming for!
