Until this year, our teachers have used Class Dojo as a method of sharing your child's learning with you. They have replaced Dojo with a platform named Skool Books, so as they become more familiar with this platform you will receive notifications in your email inbox.  Some of you will have already received these, and may have been confused as Skool Books failed to send parents the 'Welcome' email!

The attached document explains how to log into Skool Books and see what your child's teacher has shared with you. It's a great way for them to show you what they are learning about in class. 

If you have any questions about this please speak to your child's teacher.

Kia ora e te whaanau! 

We hope you all had a great weekend of sport, activities, and some time for resting too! A huge WELL DONE to our two Velodrome cycling teams, who were absolutely amazing yesterday in the Battle of the Schools competition! Flying around the velodrome on bikes with no brakes! 3 laps in 1 minute 20-something seconds is just amazing, and we're proud of you all! You can check out the photos in an album in our Roto Parents group on FB, and watch the videos of each of their races in the album's comments. If you aren't on FB and would like to view them please get in touch.  

Here is what's on this week:

Monday - Milo Monday, and a huge thank you to the Thorne family for your donation of chocolate fish for today's milos, they were a huge hit!

Tuesday - Wishing our Yr6 team the best of luck in this afternoon's CAM Maths Competition!

Wednesday - Hot food, Kapa haka.

Thursday - Roto Speech Competition this evening! Everyone must arrive no later than 5.50pm for speeches to begin at 6pm sharp. All welcome. Congratulations to our nine finalists, 3 from each age group Year 1/2, Year 3/4 and Year 5/6. We know how difficult it was this year for the teachers to narrow it down to just 3 finalists per group. 

Friday - Assembly 2.10pm. All welcome to attend. Mid-Year Reports will be sent home with your children today. 

Next week is the final week of Term 2, and we have the following events coming up...

Student Conferences - Please make sure you have booked your student conferences for Monday or Wednesday afternoon/evening via Skool Loop, or through Roxy if you're struggling with the App. 

Te parakuihi o Matariki - Also, Friday morning will be our Matariki celebration as we come together for an early morning parakuihi, breakfast. We hope you can all join us! We'll be sending out a notice today.

Moorena e te whaanau,
