This Term our Inquiry Topic is History...our local Dairy Flat History and the children's own family history. What is your story? Help your child with their Pepeha or introduction so they can share who and where they are from. Tell them your family's stories to help them understand where they belong and why.
Please see the list below for the WEEKLY home learning expectations.
Complete 1 box of Mathletics practise. Parent to sign off (in one of the boxes provided ) that practise has been done.
Basic Facts Practice on Maths Trainer - speed and accuracy required and on Prototec sheet.

One of the key competencies in our National School Curriculum is 'managing self'. Completing and remembering to hand Homework in on the correct day provides an ideal practice ground for this.
So to avoid disappointment at the end of term please support (don't do it for them) your child to return their homework in EACH week to be checked off. If your child goes to extra tuition after school count this as 'homework' for that day and make a note in your child's homework folder so that we know each week.
All notices/permission slips will also be emailed, posted on the blog and sent home as a paper copy. If you have a problem printing a permission slip (in order to sign and return them) then please notify your child's homeroom teacher as required and a hard copy of the necessary letters will be sent home.

Dear Parents and Caregivers of LZ1,
Google Classroom is where assigned work has been posted.
We have provided links to many online activities on this blog
- see both the side panels of the blog.
We have other suggestions that don't require the internet as well. We will be responding to emails, completed and shared work and questions daily and within 24hrs where possible.
Some suggestions from us…..
Intersperse 20min of work or screen time with 20min of physical activity.
Students could spend a total of around 1 ½ hours on daily school work if possible.
What we have put together is only to support you...not add more pressure.
A general idea of what your child might do at school and the time spent on it is as follows.
Handwriting - 15 mins
Writing - 30 mins
Reading - 30 mins silent chapter book reading 2x per day ( this could also be parent reading to child)
Response to reading (Readworks & Kiwikids news are good for this, with questions to answer and submit)
Maths - 15 mins daily practise of Basic facts
Number of the day (website on blog)) warm up
30 mins doing Maths of choice. This may be Mathletics, Khan academy,
problem solving (see shared slide on the blog), Matific, baking, real life Maths at home.
Art - follow the Sparkler Art lessons on the Home Learning tab
Activities that do not require internet
Reading a book (as many as you can!)
Read a book - write a story about it.
Singing some songs or playing instruments
Practicing of times tables - making connections between different multiples
Writing a diary of your day - making a point to notice something new or beautiful each day - a flower or a leaf
Write thank you letters to all of those people who are helping make your day comfortable or fun
Writing stories or providing recounts of activities
Writing a research report on something of interest by reading books or recording your observations
Play card or board games with family members

Citizen science lets everybody participate in collecting data for scientific observations and experiments. Click on the link below.
This term our Inquiry focus is Matariki, change over time and the school production - “Change the World Together”.
For homework, we would like the focus to be READING. The students should be reading good quality chapter books for enjoyment and learning. This will build their vocabulary and knowledge. Reading should include being read to (in person or audio books) - maybe books more difficult than they can read themselves, reading to younger siblings and reading to themselves.
Homework will be:
20 mins of reading daily
Fill in the Reading log to show what has been read and have it signed by an adult.
Basic Facts Sheet - particularly learning their times tables - speed and accuracy required
In order to be eligible for the homework reward at the end of the term the students need to have completed and handed in each Friday, 7 of the possible 9 weeks of allocated homework.

If your child goes to extra tuition after school count this as 'homework' for that day and make a note in your child's homework folder so that we know each week.
The first 4 weeks of this term students will be participating in cross country practise. You may wish to pack spare shoes, in a plastic bag.. If your child has an injury that prevents them from taking part in this curriculum activity they must have a note.
We very much appreciate the student, teacher, and whanau learning partnership.
Term 2 2020
More home Learning…
Dear parents/caregivers (and for the last 7 weeks, teachers) of LZ1 students, In the light of the fact that there has been so much ‘home learning’ this term, we have decided to change up our usual weekly ‘home learning’ (homework). You have worn the ‘teacher hat’ for long enough at home!! Let us relieve you of yet another discussion with your son/daughter about getting on with their school work….
We will be focusing strongly on having a growth mindset at school. We will be watching a series of videos followed by discussion questions. We would like to encourage and continue the connectedness that many people enjoyed during lockdown and ask you to initiate some family discussion around having a growth mindset over a meal, in the spa, bed time or whenever it suits you. Maybe you could make a weekly event and all eat ice creams while you chat?
We will provide the discussion questions - we just need you to have the discussion! Each week we will send home a hard copy of the discussion questions we have used in class. We will post them on the LZ1 Blog and drop them into our google classroom. If you need a hand accessing either of these platforms then please email your homeroom teacher.
Regards
The LZ1 team
Term 2 Week 6
