Dear Parents, Caregivers and Friends,
It is exciting to see the children continuing to buzz about their learning, and to see the maturity with which our senior class made their presentations to the Auckland Council and Snells Beach Residents and Ratepayers Association.
Please see this excellent link about the importance of praising our children well:
A great quote from within that supports our Christian understanding of human nature:
Dweck believes families should sit around the dinner table discussing the day’s struggles and new strategies for attacking the problem. In life no one can be perfect, and learning to view little failures as learning experiences, or opportunities to grow could be the most valuable lesson of all.
Two important things to note this week:
1. Parent Meeting on Wednesday: Soup, Science and ICT
Room One children will not be expected to stay until 7.30, as bedtime is important.
5.00 - 6.00ish: Dinner prepared by your children
6.00ish - 7.30: Hands-on workshops as below
1. How to engage with your child's learning through
technology. This is important -
you need to be here so we can step you through a few processes and you are not
left behind!
2. How we are developing wonder, awe and scientific dispositions
and understandings at school, and how you can come along for the ride. Again, this new
approach will put a skip in your step as a parent.
2. Celebration Assembly on Thursday
At our assembly, we will hear some of the great stories that have
been written this term, see some artwork, and see and hear the presentation
about our playground research.We will also be presenting certificates to honour progress and achievement in the following areas:
Writing
Reading Eggs
Mathletics
Spelling
Basic Facts
Have a good week.
