Book Club

Book Club is open for home delivery!

We appreciate that we might still be a long way off getting all children back into school. However, we feel it’s important that you and your children have access to books at home during this time.

We’re keeping Issue 2 open for home delivery while stocks last! We have created an online version of our term 1 Issue 2 Book Club Catalogue https://scholastic.co.nz/toolkit/virtual-catalogue/ which will give you access to a wide selection of product that can be ordered from the comfort of your home.

Click anywhere on the catalogue and you will be taken to https://mybookclub.scholastic.co.nz/Parent/Login.aspx to place your order.

Remember, every purchase you make will earn Scholastic Rewards for your school.

Doing things differently does not change our goal of getting books into the hands of children to encourage them to become lifelong readers.

Welcome to Room 16

Kia ora whanau - Welcome to Room 16. I look forward to working with your child to explore new opportunities both within the classroom and outside, such as Camp Carey (19-21st February). If you have any hesitations or your child is unable to attend camp, please contact me as soon as possible, jkellie@marinaview.school.nz    This week your child has been introduced to our new classroom website. The website has been tailor-made to our students’ needs and to the learning that will be taking place this term. The purpose of the website is to provide our students with student agency so that they may choose what they want to learn and when, thus increasing their engagement. It also allows students to share their learning experiences with their family. It provides students with an opportunity to practice digital citizenship in a safe and controlled environment. We’re really excited to share this with you.  Feel free to peruse the site https://sites.google.com/marinav.school

Camp Carey 19-21 February

Children have experienced everything from crate stacking, wall climbing, problem solving, archery, rifle shooting, a confidence course, rope maze, water slide and a wipe-out course. It’s been a fun filled school camp experience! Very proud to see them learning how to work as a team and listen to them encourage each other through their various activities. Especially, as some of the activities were quite challenging. It was great that they persevered and gave everything a go. Experiences outside the classroom, like Camp Carey reinforce learning by enabling the children to make connections between what they have learnt in the classroom and the world beyond the classroom. Camp Carey gave the children the opportunity to demonstrate the key competencies; particularly managing self, relating to others, and participating and contributing. Many thanks to our parent helpers, visiting teachers and the Year 5 team for making this camp experience such a success. With so many amazing

Learning about our Turangawaiwai - Our Place of Standing

As part of our inquiry into Turangawaiwai, we have looked into the meanings of New Zealand place names. We created flags that will decorate our classroom and remind us of our standing place within New Zealand. What better way to learn, than through play?  Our puzzle has been pride of place within our classroom, it has allowed all children to take part in our inquiry throughout the day.
