Search and rescue at Plimmerton
Last term there were Search and Rescuedogs that came to visit. It was part of our Integrated study on people in our community. The dogs were really cute and very useful. Here is a picture of a dog that came. The dogs find people when they are lost. There were 3 dogs that came and one of them had retired, there was a retriever and 2 Labradors. they had a great nose that could smell out people and items easily. We were in the hall when we saw them. They put a jacket in the hall and the dogs needed to find it. The dogs liked the jacket.
At the end someone needed to hide on the school bush walk and let the dogs find them the dogs barked loud when they had found them. If you ever get lost you would know you'd be found if you had these dogs looking for you.

Term Three
Hello There,
A long time since the last post.
Poetry through the Arts is our topic. We have had some poets to visit. Who were these two people and what are the poems they've written? Focus points for the term.
We have been to Pataka and looked at collaborative art. We are going to Te Papa in Week 9 on Wednesday 15th September. Keep up with your reading and maths at home 4 nights a week. Any extra is a bonus. Keep the home learning challenges coming in. We love hearing about these and seeing what you've been doing.
PE- so far we've had folk dancing and we are currently doing Gymfun. Wear appropriate clothing for this please.
It has been lovely to catch up with parents and families about what's been happening so far this year during student/ parent/ teacher conferences.
The poems that have been written in class are fabulous and the children would love to share these with you so come in and have a read sometime.
Newsletter comes out every Thursday so if you don't get it given to you have a hunt through the bags and you'll be sure to find it.
Happy Term Three!!!
Senior production in Week 10- we can't wait to watch this one.

Week 6 update
This is our shared writing for today:
We have been enjoying learning different languages. We have been focusing on encouraging and supporting others for our social skills. We are working hard at learning to use part whole strategies instead of counting on and back. We have been looking at pace value and learning about place value houses. We have been getting ready for cross country and it's going to be on tomorrow, we hope. We have been learning a Sir Ed song that we will be singing at the Week 11 assembly. We have been learning about local heroes and people that make a difference in our community. We have had a doctor, fire fighter, Police person, and a paramedic. We have been reading and learning to really think about what we read. Understanding what we read is really important. We've been looking at newspaper reports too.
We have been learning to blend pastels and are looking forward to working with the new chalk pastels that the school has bought.
Stu Duval was awesome come and see the portraits we made at the workshop. They are up the hallway outside Room 1,2,3, & 4. Hiwi the Kiwi came to visit with the Minstrel. We learned all about water safety.

We watched Grace play the keyboard today for one of her homelearning challenges.
Gym fun starts today so we need to remember to wear sensibly clothes.

Update
Well last term was huge. We enjoyed learning all about animals and their habitats and then we went to the Zoo which was a chance for us to sleepover as a group and meet the animals and observe their habitats. We got to look inside the Zoo, the zoo kitchen and learn about where all the animals got their food from. It was awesome! We got to feed the giraffes which was amazing. We had great parent support and help on this trip so thanks to all those parents. The sleepover was so fun!
We had our run, jump throw in the last week of term and this was a great day too.
Phew and luckily we had a holiday after this super busy term.
This Term- For our Integrated unit in Term Two we will be looking at Famous New Zealand people, people in our community, local heroes and looking at how and why these individuals have made a difference to us, our community and our country.
Our reading programme will be looking at deeper reading skills, comprehension skills and looking at strategies that help us research for information that is relevant to current studies.
Our genre focus is Report writing and we will look at the process of writing reports. We will continue with our diary writing also throughout the year. We are learning to rework and edit our own work too so we are going to be busy.
Our Maths focus is Multiplication and Division so that will be the focus for our homework this term. The children will bring their notebook home each Monday with a times table to learn in the back. Skip counting forwards and backwards, rote learning and then knowing the sums out of order is what we are working towards. I will add some websites to the blog to help the children learn at home too. For reading- 10-20 minutes a night- four nights per week and please keep a record of the books being read in their notebooks. The children can write up their titles and if parents can sign these notebooks for both maths and reading that would be fabulous!
PE will see us preparing for the Cross Country, looking at some winter sports and participating and learning through our gym fun programme. Cross Country- Week 6- Wednesday (26/05) pp Friday (28/05).
In the Arts we will be looking at NZ Artists- Stu Duval will be coming to the school and we will be have workshops with him before we have a full school session with him. There will be a cost of $3.50 per child for these workshops. A note will come home about this though. We have the Cultural Concert Week 10- Wednesday 23rd June at 6.30pm.
We are looking forward to a fun, successful and exciting term. Remember to send along a warm layer for the children as the colder weather comes.
Assemblies this term are Week 3, 8 & 11.
