Hōpara T3 Week 2 Notices

Kia ora Whānau!  

We have had an awesome week in Hōpara! This week we have really got stuck into our CHILL CLUBS, Nick and myself have loved seeing the engagement and excitement in their projects. Here are some photos of their projects so far.....


  


Well done to all Hōpara students who represented Clarkville in Cross Country this Wednesday - We are very proud of you all. 

Differing Perspectives Challenge: Over the weekend it would be nice if you could discuss the following image - What are the different perspectives in this image? (Thoughts, feelings, actions)
Reminders/things to know: 
Info evening - Wed 5th Y6 info evening @ 6pm, KHS coffee and cake @ 7pm

Hōpara website - https://sites.google.com/clarkville.school.nz/hopara-2020/home?authuser=0. This will be our "one stop shop" for group tasks/follow ups.
Please remember to comment and give feedback on your child's SEESAW  - their learning logs will be posted next week Monday/Tuesday Week 3. 

Before and after school conversations - If you would like to talk to us about your child's learning or wellbeing we would appreciate you emailing one of us to make a specific time - this would provide us with enough time to collate and prepare any data required. 

Please bring your devices and headphones daily! 


Note from Kathryn - 
Please let Kathryn know if your child is absent by 9am. The quickest and easier way to do this is through the school app.


Ngā mihi nui

  Kia ora Hōpara Whānau  We have just reached the half way point of the term, gosh it has gone fast! We have had quite a bit of sickness in our class over the last fews, we thank those who have stayed home to reduce passing it on. This week we began our inquiry into bottle water, the students came up with a series of initial wonderings which they explored further. We also did a mixed ability maths investigation called "Waka widths" which connects directly with our focus of Algebra.  below are some snaps from our week....

 Kia ora e te Whānau  I hope your children have come home this week excited about their role in the upcoming production?! I know we are all excited for you to see it in action. Nick and myself have been sick over different days this week, we are lucky to have such an amazing class who behave for whoever is in front of them #grateful! As the next two week commences our core learning programme will get thinner due to the time frames we have, we are also mindful of not adding any extra stress to your children at this busy time!  Head-lice:  Let's keep on top of it until the end of the year with nightly checks - much appreciated Nick and Ashley  Sun Hats:  Could all parents please make sure their child has a blue bucket sunhat, the consequence now for not wearing a hat is sitting under the shade sail for the entire break time.

Kia ora Hōpara whānau  Wow this week has been very eventful with students in Hōpara competing in the Duathlon and our annual athletics day. It was wonderful to see all of our team giving every event their best shot, encouraging each other and striving for personal excellence. Thank you to all of the parents that attended, this makes the day so much more special for the children!  I would also like the opportunity to introduce our two student teachers Zara Toohey and Ashley Nuttall. They are both 1st year students and have slotted into our space perfectly - we feel very lucky to have them with us for the next couple of weeks.  Production:  This has been underway with staff over the last few weeks and we are now at the stage where students will be selecting their "team item". Today they would have heard a "pitch" from each team, in which they will choose in connection to their interest and passions. There will also be a number of "main roles" that will be an...
