=Week 6 Term 4= The last few weeks have been really busy at Highfield school. We have been making i movies for our healthy food unit, writing our arguments for our speeches and writing about ourselves as Highfield Learners for our reports. Today is red nose day and sunsmart week and we had a wacky hat competition earlier today. On wednesday we had artorama and yesterday Highfield hosted the Fonterra Science Road Show which was great fun!!

Over the next couple of weeks we will be planning and preparing a shared lunch as part of our healthy living uint so don't be suprised if your child comes home with a small grocery list!!

In Maths we are starting some work on financial literacy which will involve using travel brochures to plan holidays and calculating interest on our Mss G Money bank accounts.

We have also been experimenting with charcoal drawing so if your chid comes home with charcoal on there face every now and then you will know why!!

There is some new work on the students pages and i have also added some numeracy games to the numeracy learning tools. In Particular i have discovered a learning website called study ladder which is great for maths, reading, writing and spelling. There is a link to this on the learning tools page so take a look.
