Principal's Report 28/04/2020
Well what a day! We have started and there are sighs of relief occuring all around the school. Thank-you one and all for ensuring we got up and running. I don't think I have ever been so busy! I am sure it will settle as we iron out all the bugs and learn along the way. It is very important to be in touch with your teacher in one way or another everyday.
Do not worry if you are not able to complete the quantity of the work that has been set. We like you are learning and are not sure what is the correct quantity for distance learning. It is vitally important to let your child's teacher know how you are going with the work load so that adjustments can be made. Teachers will learn from you and your guidance as to what is manageable.
The follwing table highlights possible allocated times per learning area.
| English/Literacy | Maths/Numeracy | Other | Physical activity/Play | |

In an attempt to keep somethings as normal as possible we will continue to send out our newsletter weekly. We will in the newsletter highlight student achievement that would normally be highlighted in our Tuesday morning assemblies. I have printed off the current certificates for Mathletics. These will be sent out to the students by mail.
Bronze certificates were earned by, Layla B, Rueben, Ally (x2), Harper, Aidan (x3), Sully (x2), Samuel, Poppy, Zach, Pippa, Mikayla, Johannes, Olive, Levi and Ashlegh (x2).
Sully also earned a Silver certificate. Well done to you all.
