FAMILY GOAL SETTING CONFERENCES RESCHEDULED TO WEDNESDAY 31 MARCH - THURSDAY 1 APRIL This is a wonderful chance to meet with your child/ren’s teachers, to share some information and set some learning goals for the first 6 months of the year. Your child has already come home with a “goal setting” form, which is to be brought to the meeting. To book a conference time with your child/ren’s teacher please log onto www.schoolinterviews.co.nz then enter the school code of waehr. Follow the steps and select the appropriate time with each teacher you want to meet. Remember to leave a gap between conferences if you are booking times with more than one teacher. If you do not have access to a computer with internet at work, home or through a relative or friend, we will make the schools Library available before school between 8:30am and 8:55am for you to make your conference booking. If you have any questions or need help with this service please phone the school office between 10:00am and 2:30pm on 628 8001. If there is no internet access available to your family please complete the slip and return to school as soon as possible (this slip was sent home with your child yesterday). EARLY FINISH ON WEDNESDAY 31 MARCH - THURSDAY 1 APRIL School will be finishing at 12.30 pm on Wednesday 31 March - Thursday 1 April. Because there will be limited staff available for supervision, the school’s request is for all children to be collected at 12.30 pm. There will be supervision until 3:00pm for those students who do not have an adult waiting at home. If you require supervision, please let the school know through the note that was sent home or contact office@newwindsor.school.nz or (09) 628 8001.

Experiments with Force and Motion

-

As part of our exploration into Force and Motion, we have been making Marble Runs, Marble Mazes and Domino Chains. Cyrus created an effective chain of DVD cases and books, beginning his chain by rolling a ball towards it and also getting it to run around a corner. With the challenge on to experiment with a large run of dominoes, Joshua built a superbly complex design. He used a range of layered dominoes, a car race track and a small car to launch his chain. If you would like more information or to see what others have created and learnt, please scroll down to the padlets below and view our class work which is getting updated and added to most days.

Our return to class learning and distance zoomers

 We are enjoying having our distance learners zooming in to join the students in class for Literacy and Maths.  It can be a bit of a juggle, but everyone seems to be enjoying catching up, and still being able to learn alongside each other. This week in Maths we have really been getting the hang of early algebra, working out sequences and repeating patterns. Earlier in the week the class based students used interlocking cubes to challenge those at home to work out their patterns, and what would be the next colours in their sequences. One or two even made minor changes to see whether the others could see slight changes in order of their blocks. Meleane on Friday set us all, students at home and those in class, the challenge to work out whether she was using a repeating or non repeating pattern.  There were a few tricks to hers too.  Can you work out which are repeating or non repeating pattern sequences? Perhaps join us over this coming week where we are learning about increasing or decr

Creating repeating and growing patterns for Algebra

-

 The last few days we have been challenging each other with working out if we have been making repeating or growing patterns in Maths.  We have also been finding ways to make a code to follow so that we can name the patterns we have also been making or studying, and also beginning to predict what will come next in the sequence. Today we began working on increasing and decreasing pattern sequences, and how tables can be made to show the changing patterns.  Our next challenge for tomorrow is to use each other's creations to predict what might come in the 5th, 10th or 12th position, or even the number of cubes we would need to make them.
