Friday, May 14th

Hi all,

A belated Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers - I hope your children spoiled you rotten. It has been a busy week in Room 15 with DMIC (Developing Mathematics In Communities) mentors from Massey University visiting every day. This is a new way of teaching maths which New Windsor School has adopted and the teachers are going through an intensive three-year training programme. Ask your child about it. 

Next week is Road Safety Week. "Be Seen, Be Safe" Day is on Friday, May 21st - encourage your child to wear bright clothes. Throughout the week children will create posters to promote three messages - "Drop children off outside school", "Yellow lines mean no stopping" and "Slow down around schools". If your child is at school from 8.20-8.45am on Thursday they could get to use a speed laser gun.

This week Room 15 students wrote Describing poems, using adjectives and verbs. Check out Sahar and Viral's poems below.

Stars of the Week were Wil, Cordeliah, Prisha, Joseph T and Mele. Congratulations! Have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday.

Mr Henderson.
