T4 Weekly 6

Dear Parents,
Today Ms Radford will be in Room 2 while I am on Classroom Release (CRT). I will be using my time to analyse all the data from our Reading and Math testing and beginning to write reports. It is an exciting time of year when the final testing has been completed and the analysis begins. It’s wonderful to look back on results from February and March and look at the learning that has taken place, as well as set new learning goals for the year ahead.
This week we have a couple of interesting visitors to our school. Today “The Cabbages” a drumming group will be performing in the hall at 11am. I’m sure your child will update you on the different beats and sound that they heard, I think it should be quite a talking point. On Friday we have author Christine Fernyhough sharing her story. Christine runs Castle Hill Station, near Porters Pass in Canterbury, with her husband John Bougen. An ardent advocate of learning and reading, she was the founder of Books in Homes and later the Gifted Kids programme.
Speaking of events, our PTA put together a wonderful Christmas Market on Thursday night last week. It was fabulous to see so many Meadowbank parents perusing the aisles and taking advantages of some fantastic bargins. Don’t forget if you see any of the organisers in person to pass on your compliments. I know this event took a huge amount of preparation and organisation.
The roadworks at the front of the school continue this week and our new footpath and driveway are underway. Please take extra care on Waiatarua Road during morning drop off and afternoon pick up. There are lots of moving trucks, cones and children and visibility can be difficult.
