Welcome to Kahu 10.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome back t Term 2. 

This term will largely be based around your child’s Science & Technology inquiry, leading up to our school science fair which will be held in the first week of next term allowing your child to think about, carry out experiments and present their work over a 10 week period.

The science fair is based on a strong home/school partnership.  Please talk to your child about their inquiry, and support them as much as you can by helping with experiments, analysis, diagrams/photos & research. A great resource to use is www.sciencebuddies.org.

Winter Sports will be held on Thursday 23d May. We will be needing parent support to help manage teams and transport children to and from this event. A permission slip will be sent home week two.

In class your child is creating an electronic portfolio of their work for this year. You have received a QR code that will allow you to view what your child is doing in class and have access to their folder of work. Feel free to write comments to your child letting them know how they are going with their work and what you are impressed with. You may also leave a voice message on their work for them to listen to later - your child will be able to help with this if you get stuck.

If you have any queries or questions please don't hesitate to contact me at kbroadfoot@ngunguru.school.nz 

Kind Regards
