Welcome to Room 6's Blog...

We are one of the Year 3 & 4 classes at Russley School. We aim to work together well so that we can achieve success in everything we do. To help us be successful students we use the Russley Dispositions. They help us to train our brains to think successfully when we are faced with problems where the answer is not immediately known. On our Blog you will find photos, videos, up-coming events, notices and a range of other exciting information that we would love to share with you!

Kia ora whānau,

Welcome to Term 2. 

 The holidays are but a distant memory! It's been great to see the tamariki so enthusiastic about making gains in their learning. 
I'd like to  ‘officially’ welcome Miss Samantha Biergar our new trainee teacher from the University of Canterbury. She will be teaching in Room 11 over the next 6 weeks. Watch this space for more on Miss Biergard next week....

Each week, I'll be introducing a weekly book suggestion and a reading hint to get those reluctant readers to read! I hope you all find these useful.

Reading Tip:
Reading can be tiring and frustrating to the young reader, regular short periods of reading practice are better. (Boys and Books – James Moloney) 


Book Suggestion: Jim's Letters by Glyn Harper
Between December 1914 and August 1915 Tom and Jim write letters to each other whenever they get a chance. Tom talks about life at home on the farm while Jim writes from Egypt and then from Gallipoli. 


Have a great weekend everyone.
