Week 3 Term 3 Blogpost

Kia ora e te whānau 

Welcome to week 3! This week's focus has been completing our 1st speech, we feel so incredibly proud of the effort Hōpara students have put in to this. Students had to choose to do their speech on whether they thought "dogs" or "horses" were the most useful for humans in history. Please take the time over the coming week to look at their Learning Journal and make a comment. 

CHILL (children leading learning): By now all students should have completed 3 tasks and uploaded them to their presentation journal. Please check in with your child about how they are tracking with this. Below are some pictures of CHILL in action! 





Are we getting enough sleep? Here is some useful information to share with your child around the importance of sufficient sleep: 

Why sleep is important for children aged 5-11 years?

When your child sleeps well, your child will be more settled, happy and ready for school the next day. Good-quality sleep helps your child concentrate, remember things, regulate emotions and behave well. This all helps your child learn well.

Getting enough sleep also strengthens your child’s immune system and reduces the risk of infection and illness.

Sleep: what children need

At 5-11 years, children need 9-11 hours sleep a night. For example, if your child wakes for school at 7 am and needs approximately 10 hours sleep per night, your child should be in bed before 9 pm.
