Life Education bus: Stress

Stress: feeling physical, mental or emotional pressure.

Me Posters

The first completed work this year has been ME Posters, which are (funnily enough) posters students have done about themselves.

The pictures below give an idea of the different posters each student has created.

Welcome to Room 2

Congratulations on being the lucky ones selected for room 2 in 2011. My aim is for our class to be an environment that is fun, supportive and challenging as we continue to develop intellectually, emotionally and physically.

I taught my first year at Broadgreen Intermediate last year having completed the Graduate Diploma in Teaching in 2009 at the University of Auckland. For the previous 10 years I had a career in sports media on radio, television and the internet.

I am a born and raised Nelsonian and live in Stoke with my wife Cheree, three-year-old son Leon and daughter Keira, who will be one in April. Apart from family my interests are playing and watching sport and music.

Family

I look forward to meeting you. You are welcome to see me at any time before or after school to discuss any issues or you can call or email. Meet the teacher evening is another opportunity in week three. As a second year teacher I welcome all feedback.

Your child has a school diary for their homework and organisational needs. I will be checking it weekly so they need to have it. You sign this diary once a week to verify that you have seen and checked it.

Your child needs a hat at school every day as it is part of school policy to wear a hat when outside. Please ensure that this and the rest of their uniform is named.

Term One

We are covering two major topics: a health topic looking at relationships and how we interact and communicate with others; and a social sciences topic called “Footprints in the past” where we look at how people pass on and sustain culture and heritage and the consequences this has.

We will also be covering recounts in writing, reading comprehension, statistics in maths, swimming, fitness testing and summer sports in PE.

There will also be a host of opportunities to join groups in the opening weeks of term such as Stage Challenge, rock bands, choir, sports teams and much more so get involved.

Camp

This year is camp year at Broadgreen Intermediate so Room 2 will be spending week four of term four at Totaranui (Nov 14-18). The cost of camp will be $180 and you can set up a payment system at the finance centre.

Christchurch South

Because of the Christchurch earthquake our trip to Christchurch South Intermediate was postponed to week 6 of this turn. Blake, Ella, Chloe, and Mr Luke are among the members of room 2 traveling to Christchurch. Hopefully the after shocks will have stopped by then!

Genius Cafe

Today Blake, Reuben and Mr Luke are at Genius Cafe where the students teach the teachers about technology and how they can use it in their classrooms. Blake claims "it was fun because the teachers were so open to new things and we got rewards every time a teacher went away happy and full of knowledge"

Term 3 Starts: Monday 19th July

What terrific holiday weather in Nelson! A chance to relax in some of that winter sunshine. It's been great to see plenty of students out and about in Nelson over the holidays.

I know I've enjoyed building my boys a treehut, climbing Mt Arthur with friends and having friends around for dinner!

I'm looking forward to hearing what students have been up to. It's always an exciting sharing time in the first week.

Many students have been working hard down at Broadgreen with the production which has been terrific!

See you all on Monday for a rip-roaring TERM 3 :)

3 Way Conferences

Are happening right now!

Some terrific families have been in and students are sharing their reading goal with their parents.

We've also had time to look at other aspects of learning in the classroom including weekly goal setting, maths work, and our current science topic: The Weather- What do I wear tomorrow?

Conferences extend over this evening and tomorrow.

Ms Sutherland's help

Ms Sutherland is a teacher aid that has helped 2 people in Room 2 Nick and Mikaere are really enjoying it they do reading and maths there. Nicks favorite part is playing games and Mikaere enjoys playing games too.

Road Survey to return

All students received a road survey last week. While I have received some survey's back there are many outstanding. This survey will assist in the the future traffic ways around Broadgreen Intermediate. Your contribution would be greatly valued.

Thank you to those that have returned their survey's.
