Koru Hub Holiday Learning Resources
Over the last two terms many children in koru hub have made accelerated progress in their reading and maths. In order to retain and strengthen their progress it can be helpful to read and problem solve as much as possible. Here are some ideas for home learning over the christmas holidays.
Bug Club www.bugclub.co.nz
All children have a user name and password, and everyone has had lots of books added to their library at the appropriate levels. If they haven't been on for a while the first lot of books will be easy, but the more appropriate leveled ones will appear after the easy ones have been read. Contact your child's whanau teacher if you need the log in details resent or if you need new books.
Mathletics www.mathletics.co.nz
Most children have a user name and password. Contact your child's whanau teacher if you need the log in details resent or if you need new books.
Other Maths Sites
E-ako maths - place value and fractions, basic facts and problem solving.
Papatoetoe Central School - basic facts timed and not timed at Stages appropriate for students (Stage 2-3, Stage 4, Stage 5, etc.).
Remember, lots of other experiences and real life learning situations are also very important for a balanced education.
Have fun over the christmas break and we look forward to seeing you all again in the New Year!

Koru Camp
Wednesday 12th - Thursday 14th December
With less than a week to go now until we take our koru kids on camp, it's time to start thinking about packing our bags.
What all children need to bring:

- Toiletries
- Soft toy and book (optional)
- Fresh clothes for Thursday - layers (mufti)
- Walking shoes
- Sun hat
- Drink Bottle
- Jacket
- Anything required for a dry nights sleep (+ addition supplies if needed)
- Zoo will provide sleeping rolls but bring your own if you wish
Other Important Points
- Children wear uniform to school on Wednesday and go home at 3pm
- Eat dinner at home before coming to the zoo
- Wear mufti to the zoo
- Children will need to be dropped off at the zoo by parents at 6:55pm on Wednesday
- We will be back at school by 3pm on Thursday - or earlier if the weather is too bad.
See you there!
