Study Ladder

Today we all had a go at logging on to our very own account on Study Ladder. Your child will probably have bought home a small slip of paper with their log on details. I will send a laminated card home once they are more familiar with the website.

Study Ladder is a great way to reinforce learning and it is very beneficial as the teacher as I am able to track what each child has done and what their strengths and needs are. Please encourage your child to go on to Study Ladder regularly. I will be setting custom 'tasks' for students at your request.

The link to Study Ladder can be found on the right hand side of this blog under 'Websites for Learning'.

Hands on Homework- Week 2

We are very lucky this week and we get Wednesday off school to celebrate Waitangi Day. But what is Waitangi Day? 

This week your task is to find out what Waitangi Day is all about. You may like to talk to your parents, grandparents or neighbours. You could do some research on the internet or in the library. 

You can present your information in a poster or you can just share with the class on Friday.
