Our Very Own Poetry Books!

The Mighty Huhu's have been completing poetry this term. They have looked at Haiku's, Tanka's, Sonnet's and My Special Person Metaphor Poems. They were then able to research other types of poetry and create some poems of their choice. Here are some of their very own poetry books!

Hi Jakson. We all hope you get better really soon. It only hurts when you laugh eh😊😊. We were really impressed with your operation scars!! You can tell people you had a scrap with pirates on the high seas!!☠️ You were so brave to come to school yesterday. Hope to see you back soon. 

Love. The mighty Huhu's 

Calendar Art

We hope you enjoy looking through our fish art work! These were based on Picasso's cubism art style. The kids really enjoyed completing these and they would look great on a calendar, diary, mouse pad, sketch pad or set of cards! Order forms are coming home Monday 28th August :)

Improvements to Rooms 14 & 15

Over the next holidays some improvements and maintenance is being carried out in the two rooms. 

 Firstly a new carpet will be layed. This will help with warmth and hopefully reduce noise. 

 Secondly, in line with the much increased  learning collaboration between the two rooms we will have an internal access way cut between the two spaces much like rooms 17& 18. Miss Keys and I are much looking forward to the advantages these changes will bring about to the teaching and learning of our students. 

Travis Wetlands Trip

We had such an interesting trip to the wetlands. In these pictures we are learning about the tiny water insects we caught in the swamp. Celia from the council was our teacher / Ranger for the day. Thanks Celia!!

Singing Waiata in Whanau Hui

IMG_5514 from Georgia on Vimeo.

The Mighty Huhu's love singing so we start the mornings with Waiata which sounds fantastic! We even get comments from the other classrooms about how great we sound! Check out the video above of them performing one of their favourites!

Cross Country

The Mighty Huhu's sure did us very proud at the Parkview Cross Country over at the Arthur Adcock Memorial Reserve yesterday. All that training paid off and they ran like champions!!! Well done to all who participated and a big congratulations to those who qualified for the zones. Keep up that fitness! :)

Buddy Reading with Room 5

The Mighty Huhu's did an amazing job at the library yesterday helping the tamariki from room 5 read to them! They then got to share a book with the juniors which was enjoyed by all!

New Pokemon Cards Rules

Hi all. Mrs Sweney has had a meeting with children and here are the new Pokemon rules for the school. 

Students can bring 5-10 cards to school.

Students to only trade within their own group i.e Year 1 & 2, Year 3 & 4 or Year 5-8.

If students are bringing more than 10 cards they are told not to bring any for the next week.

If they continue to do so parents are contacted and they are not to bring any cards for the rest of the term.

Principals Awards

Vann and Louis got the "Principals Awards" for the 

Mighty Huhu's this week. 

Vann got it for being a self-manageing learner and Louie got it for learning new things on camp. Well done Vann and Louie 😁😁

The Real Life "Mighty Huhu's"

Room 14 & 15 Newsletter 2017

10th February 2017

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Just a note to let you know how things are progressing in our extended class whanau and some organisational reminders.

General

The classes have settled very well into their various collaborative routines and there is a happy and contented feel to the place. Miss Keys has joined our team this year and has come from Shirley Intermediate. She has strengths in P.E. and literacy, you may spot her running around Hagley Park training for a half marathon!  Mr Pinker has been at the school for a number of years is married to Miss de Their and has two high school aged children. He has strengths in music, likes catching fish and spends a fair bit of time playing chauffeur and spectator to his children’s sporting activities. Room 14 and 15 will be working and very closely together to utilise the various skills of not only the teachers but also the students.

Camp

Camp this year will be at the Waipara Riverside Park. The dates are 13-15 of March. The cost will be $140. It sounds expensive but it includes all activities, instructors and catered food.  If you wish to “drip-feed” some of this amount off that’s fine, please contact the office.

Homework

In the next couple of weeks, your child will come home with their homework notebook on a Monday.  This book also has reminders and general class information in it, so it is important that you sight it. Chores and activities after school also count as homework e.g. swimming or music lessons or even helping with the evening’s meal. These you can list on the “homework and reminders” page.

Your child will have a list of spelling words and a family of number facts to learn by Friday in this notebook. These lists are issued on a Monday and re-tested on Friday. Your child will also be expected to read for 20 minutes each evening and spend time during the week keeping up with current events by watching the news with a parent or going to the Kiwi Kids News website www.kiwikidsnews.co.nz.

In addition to this the children will have various activities to complete which involves the web-site - www.studyladder.co.nz.

It is not our intention for homework to be an onerous activity for families but something that extends learning which is already happening in the classroom.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any queries or concerns. gary.pinker@parkview.school.nz                         georgia.keys@parkview.school.nz

Best Regards

Gary Pinker and Georgia Keys- Classroom Teachers
