Stardome trip thanks

Dear Parents,

Thank-you for coming to help us on the Stardome trip. We appreciate you giving up your time to come with us.

We all enjoyed the trip, even though the Stardome presentation hurt some peoples eyes. We also enjoyed our walk to the top of One Tree Hill.

Thank-you very much for coming. We hope you can come again on another trip!

Yours sincerely
Room6

Stardome

On Wednesday 3rd June Rooms 1,3 and 6 went to the Stardome in Auckland. Most of us went on the bus. The others went by car. When we got there we went into a room with a roof that is kind of like a semi circle, where you sit in these chairs, laying back and looking at the roof. The roof was just a big screen and a man talked us through the show. We could see the stars and it showed us all the planets and it was really interesting. After the show we went for a walk up to the top of One Tree Hill. It was a fun trip and we all enjoyed it!!

Room 6 Tomarata School News/Notes/Comments

Hello Parents/Caregivers and families,

Hi everyone. The year is flying by...

It has been a very busy time for Room 6. We have farewelled Michelle Carmichael last week. She is a 3rd year teaching student from Auckland University. During the first 4 weeks of Term 3, Michelle had full control of the class and did a terrific job. The class adjusted well to her slightly different teaching style and routine and enabled her to learn and develop as a teacher.

We have a focus on Electricity this term - safety, generation, usage, sustainability and we will be looking and circuits and making are own circuits to insert into games the children will be developing.

Term 4 will have the theme of "Risk, Safety, and Response". We will look at a wide range of things from 1st Aid and Fire Safety to involving the students in assessing the risks different activities may pose at Camp.

Speaking of Camp, this will be held during the week 12-16 November at Marsden Point Christian Camp, One Tree Point. We are busy planning and preparing. Whilst some costs are still to be finalised, we have indicated in newsletters the cost will be approx $120 per student. Further details will follow in due course.

The enrolment process for the transition to Rodney College has begun. Interviews are coming up and testing for Year 8s will occur in Term 4.

Term 4 also sees Inter-school cross country and cricket. I am in the process of arranging some coaching sessions with Northland Cricket early in Term 4 - watch this space.

Show Day is the first Friday back after the October school holidays. All students in Room 6 are expected to participate and contribute - I would like to see either a lamb/calf, a garden, a pet, or sculpture from as many students as possible. All students will be required to make as many indoor exhibits as possible. It is much more fun for the students if they join in fully.

Take care.
