Room 6 was buzzing on Monday when the Year 5 and Year 6 students were reunited after a week apart for camp and outdoor education. Everyone had a blast, strengthening connections with peers and challenging themselves while practising their key competency goals set in class. Miss Casey, Mr Williams and I are looking forward to planning an evening where the students can share their experiences, keep an eye out for an email with details on this soon.
Not surprisingly writing is centred around the adventures had last week. The students have examined some memoir writing and are using this as a basis to share their ideas. There is some really wonderful writing happening, we hope to share some at our camp celebration evening.
In Maths we are working on addition and subtraction strategies and identifying our knowledge goal with help from special guest Mrs Livingstone. Please ask your child what their number knowledge goal is and how they plan to achieve it. They will be able to show you some great online games via our intranet page http://intranet.otatara.school.nz/
Our big focus for the week has been preparing for athletics day which was held yesterday. We had fabulous weather and even better sportsmanship with our students supporting each other and striving for excellence.
Wishing everyone a fun safe happy weekend
Mrs D
