Term 2- 2021
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.
20 mins of reading daily. Fill in the Reading log to show what you have read and have it signed by an adult.
Complete the Spelling Sheet, which is practicing the spelling focus for the week.
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. 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.
We very much appreciate the student, teacher, and whanau learning partnership.

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.

We very much appreciate the student, teacher, and whanau learning partnership.
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
Episode 1:
Take-home questions:
We’re watching a video series about how students can develop a growth mindset!
1. What was the biggest challenge you faced today? (Ask your child, and then have them ask the question back!)
2. How can you and I think about these challenges in a new way?
3. What can we do differently tomorrow if we face similar challenges?
2. Open the app and either play as a guest or sign up for a new account
3. Join the game by searching for 'WeGotThisNZ Lockdown Challenge' or use the code EZLV3L
4. Either go solo, join as a family or with flatmates (must be same household)
5. After joining you will be taken straight to the mission list, so get playing!

2018 Term 2
This term the home learning for each week will continue with the same format as term 1. In order to be eligible for the homework reward at the end of the term the students need to have completed all but 2 of the weeks of homework. This does not mean that a homework 'binge' a few weeks before the end of term will count. 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 posted on the blog. If you have a problem printing a permission slip (in order to sign and return them) then please notify your child's home room teacher as required and a hard copy of the necessary letters will be sent home.
