Koru Team News - Term 2, Week 1
Welcome to Term 2!
A warm welcome to the new tamariki and their whānau joining our Koru team this term. It’s wonderful to see our children supporting one another as they learn about school life at Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto. This reflects our school values of We Get There Together and We Love Challenge.
As we move into the winter months, it’s important that children come to school with a jersey or fleece, a jacket, and a change of clothes in their bags each day. On rainy days, we sometimes stay inside during break times, but whenever possible, children will still head outside to play—even when it’s cold. Please ensure they have warm clothing suitable for these conditions.
If your child would like to bring gumboots or slippers, they are welcome to do so. Please make sure all items are clearly named—we can store them by the classroom doors for easy changing.
Reminders:
- Literacy folders: These should come to school every day. Please keep the letter cards and heart word cards in their small bags inside the folder.
- Library folders: Our library day is Friday. Children will need their library folder at school each Friday to exchange their two books.
- Poetry books: These will come home every Friday. Please return them in time for the new poem the following Friday.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

Maths in Term 2
This term, our Y0-2 ākonga (learners) are using Numicon equipment to support their maths learning. Numicon uses equipment which helps make numbers visible (see) and tactile (touch/use), allowing learners to see how numbers are composed (made up of), how they fit together and how they relate to each other.
The ākonga (learners) have been wonderfully engaged in these Numicon sessions. They have been highly motivated to complete the daily activities, explain their thinking mathematically and use their maths vocabulary.
Below are photos of our learners:
