Welcome to distance learning for Week 5
As you are aware by now, Flatbush Primary School is closed from Monday 28th February to Friday 5th March 2022, due to close contacts. The school will reopen on Monday 7th March 2022. There will be no online classes, however for those who were at school, I will be putting up pages from the HOMEWORK book that were given out on Thursday. For those who did not attend, there will be work for you to do online as well.
Please feel free to email me at martham@flatbush.school.nz if you have any questions. I am available from 9am to 3pm. I look forward to seeing you all back at school in week 6.

| Teacher Instructions - Please read the questions carefully before answering. Remember the answer is in the text. Try and attempt one unit each day, however for those who have already started, I challenge you to see how many more you can do on your own. Below is a YouTube clip about Homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same, but are spelt different and have different meanings i.e. right/write, there/their, to/two. HOMOPHONES - Watch this clip for a better understanding of what a homophone is! |

On Thursdays, Room 14 have been very fortunate to attend swimming lessons at the Otara Pool. These sessions are FREE. I do encourage our parents to allow our children to learn how to swim, as it could save their lives one day. Here are some of the photos that both Ms Young and I have taken throughout their lessons.

Welcome to Room 14
Talofa Lava and greetings to you all...Wow...I can't believe the school year has started! I sincerely want to welcome back all my students from last year and those who are new.

As you would have noticed, that the lovely, talented and creative Ms Young will be your teacher from Week 1 to Week 3, I will be returning back to school in Week 4, which I can't wait. You are very lucky and so blessed to have an amazing teacher like her and I have heard, that you all have been on your best behavior - so KEEP IT UP!
