FRIDAY 29 MAY 2015



Naumai e te whanau o te kura Muritai


Tena koutou katoa


The Queen’s Birthday long weekend offers us a little chance to catch our breath before we push forward for the last 4 and a half weeks of the term. A reminder that we are closed next Tuesday 3rd June as staff work on moderating assessment information for the mid year written reports that are issued in week 10. A date for your diaries is Wednesday 1st July for the Learning Celebrations from 3pm - 6pm. The children will share their portfolio of work for the first five months of the year. It is a good record of growth and we allow the children to talk through their growth and progress with their parent as they share what and how they learn at school.  In support of this a reminder that staff are always available to meet with you to provide you with any updates on how your child is progressing at school. Just contact them via email and negotiate a meeting time that best suits both parties.


Very proud of our senior students - Senior School Sparks Programme - Personal Passion Projects
Every Friday for the last 5 weeks, the students in the Senior School have been working hard on identifying and enhancing their passions to develop their self-directed learning. They were asked to develop a proposal for a project that they wanted to investigate to a deeper level. They needed to make sure they challenged themselves to learn something new yet still keep their project realistic so it would be achievable within the time frame.


There was a huge variety of projects carried out. From learning how to effectively teach PE skills to younger children, learning how to prepare and cook yummy meals from around the world, designing house buses, sewing dresses, creating amazing artworks, researching about paleontology to movie making, including stop-motion animation!


Each week the students had to prepare and plan their sessions. This could be as simple as ensuring they had all the equipment they needed through to more challenging tasks of writing up lesson plans or emailing teachers to organise times to take younger children out of class.


At the end of every week they were required to reflect on their learning process, identifying what they achieved, what they found challenging and what they needed to prepare for the the following session. At the end of the 5 sessions every student was required to present their learning journey with the class along with any learning artifacts they collected or created along the way. Finally they were asked to assess themselves against the New Zealand Curriculum Key Competencies of Managing Self, Thinking, Relating to Others, Using Text and Symbols and Participating & Contributing. People use these competencies to live, learn, work, and contribute as active members of their communities. More complex than skills, the competencies draw also on knowledge, attitudes, and values in ways that lead to action. They are the key to learning in every learning area.



All the teachers in the Senior School have been blown away by the commitment all the students have shown to their projects and how engaged they have been with their learning. They have all worked incredibly hard and given honest reflections on their learning journeys.


Invitation to visit the senior school.
We are very proud of our Year 7-8 area - our senior school. A small unique space, full of wonderful children and dedicated teachers - we think it works really well and we know that it sets our oldest children up so well for their next steps at secondary school. Next Friday 6th June we will be opening the classrooms from 9am to 10am for students and parents to come and check out all of the projects that have been completed with our recent 'Personal Passion Projects'. The senior students will be there to share their learning with you and parents are warmly invited to attend to take a closer look at the work that has been carried out. We look forward to seeing you there!

In addition to this, at 11am we will  be holding our Year 7/8 Speech Finals in the school hall.  Once again, we welcome all parents and caregivers to attend.

I'm aware that this is the time of year many families are looking at school options for Year 7 in 2016. We would like to remind you that you are always welcome to come visit us in the Senior School 'over the road'.
You might also like to have a look at our blog which has regular updates of highlights from our area. Check it out here: http://seniorschoolmuritai.blogspot.co.nz/



Year 5/6 Speech Finals
On Tuesday afternoon we held the Y5/6 Speech competition final.  Our 8 finalists were:


Year 5s - Francie Penney, Esme Daley, Sarah Caddis and Petra Tilley
Year 6s - Jack Evans, Henry Evans, Cam Skilton and Finlay Clark


The standard of speeches was outstanding and the judges had a tough time selecting the winners.  The winner of the Year 5 category was Petra Tilley, with her speech about 'Eggs' and the winner of the Year 6 category was Cameron Skilton, with his speech on 'Underwater Hockey'.  Congratulations to Cameron Skilton who was adjudged our overall Y5-6 school champion this year.  


Emails to staff during the day.
Staff do try to check emails during the day, but don’t between after lunch and before the end of school as they are teaching. Please be careful when sending urgent messages via emails to teachers after lunch about changes to afternoon arrangements. The best way - at this time of the day is to call the office and we can relay the information.


Shoe and Coat Drive
16 sets of curtains, 6 boxes of Jackets, and 10 boxes of shoes, boots, slippers and  sandals sorted, folded, packed and off to a new home.
The Enviro team would like to thank you for the amazing support from both the Muritai School community and Wellesley School with our recent Shoe and Coat and Curtain Drive this term.    Your donations will be finding new homes at The Holy Family School in Porirua and a little closer to home in Wainuiomata Primary School.
I am sure with the weather we are currently experiencing they will be gratefully received.
Thank you once again for your support with this venture.
The Enviro- School team and Charity Group.

Kia ora koutou katoa.


Welcome to our new children that have started at Muritai School - Joe Kanjanaphat and Jagger Lisette.


As we fast approach the middle of the term we are enjoying the slightly different pace of term 2. Walking through the rooms sees a rich tapestry of quality learning - the children are well engaged and the atmosphere of each classroom is quite lovely. Each class has built a team and while some of the work being done is individual, some of the work is collaborative and team based. It is all designed to make our children grow as people.


Our junior school is as always a very busy area of the school. Some of the flow of recent activities have involved -
  • We have had all our local early learning centres (Kindy, Playcentre, Early learning centre) visiting frequently
  • Completed the third parent information evening on curriculum completing how children learn and progress in reading, writing, maths
  • Visited the Planetarium at the Carter Observatory
  • PMP (Perceptual Motor Program) has started in room 2 for this term.


DAV PILKEY

Captain Underpants author Dav Pilkey has travelled to New Zealand to be a guest at the Auckland Writers Festival.  He also visited Wellington recently to meet his fans and some of our Muritai students were lucky enough to go along and meet him.  Below is Luke Tait and Izzy Carroll’s account of their trip.
On Wednesday 20 May, twenty one Muritai students went to see Dav Pilkey.  He was talking at Eastern Hutt School in Lower Hutt.  He told us about a new book he was writing called Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir-Stink-a-Lot.  There is also a new movie of Captain Underpants, which is animated and coming out in 2017.  Did you know why his name is ‘Dav’ but pronounced ‘Dave’?  Well he used to work in Pizza Hut.  He didn’t like his name with an E so he changed it to Dav!  He also read us a chapter of Dogman (full story) which is coming out next year!  We thoroughly enjoyed it and Dav even signed our books.


By Luke Tait and Izzy Carroll (Room 8, year 4)


THANK YOU
Last Saturday some hardy parents worked in the gardens planting around the library and tidying up the Oroua St entrance garden. There is still some work to do but we have made good progress and it is coming together nicely. Our next tasks is to plant the trees and Matt Diederich from Quercus Landscaping is helping us with that. Thanks to Kate Brownsword for leading this process - it is going to look great is the spring!


Zone cross country
Our Y4-6 cross-country team performed with real distinction at the Zone event at Boulcott School. While placings were hard to come by a real feature was the strength of the team and with the 8 children in each of the 6 categories we managed to bring each year group team home mostly in the top 10. It was a real lift to the Muritai supporters to see the green sweep through towards to top. This top effort saw Muritai comfortably secure second place overall behind Waterloo and ahead of Eastern Hutt.
Congratulations to our placegetters…
Rosa Blair - 1st year 4 girls
Mia Campbell - 2nd year 4 girls
Great Woolloff - 2nd year 5 girls
Fraser Bellis - 3rd year 5 boys


Basketball reps
The Year 7&8 boys basketball team are well under way in their new season and have currently won all of their games so far. Congratulations to the following boys for making the Hutt Valley Under 15 rep basketball team: Tom Flynn, Tobias Knight Lincoln Moffat and Callan Hughes.

Kia ora koutou

Thank you so much for your help yesterday as we worked through the 'big wet' situation. We managed to clear the school by 3.10 which was beyond our expectations. We do get  a steady stream of information fed to us about what is happening and just have to reflect as we go along about what is best for the children at the time - for yesterday the children were best kept at school where they were safe and warm and dry. What was clear to us was how well organised and collaborative our community is in coping with the scenario presented. While many parents were stuck on the roads they were able to organise cover and care for their children. I attended the Eastbourne Emergency Management meeting the night before at the fire station and the message was quite clear that each family needs to have a plan that involves not just the immediate family but others as well.  In the first instance of a crisis focus on your family and your immediate neighbours. The Eastbourne Community Board will be following through with appropriate publicity but the best place to go to for resources and ideas is the Wellington Regional Emergency Management Organisation’s www.getprepared.org.nz

Thursday 8th May

Kia ora koutou,

Welcome to Luca Corsi who has started in room 3 this week. 

As we near the end of week three we are well ensconced in the term 2 learning programme. It looks as though the weather has turned a little so a reminder for the children to have slippers for indoors and warm clothing and wet weather gear if necessary.

Bayer Science Fund
We are pleased to receive a grant from the Bayer Science Fund for $1800. This is to allow us to acquire a tunnel house, do some propagation work and grow plants for our gardens from seed.

Start times for the day.
Can I gently remind people that we really want the children to be arriving at school at around 8.30ish. Our first bell goes at 8.40am and children come in to get ready for the school day - it also allows the children to catch up with their friends before school. The 8.50 bell is when we start our administration to kick off the learning at 9.00 sharp. Kids arriving late disrupt the class and staff are experiencing parents coming into the rooms with their late children. While this fussing is going on it is difficult for the teacher to retain the children's attention. 

Wacky Hair Day - Well done to the students who came to school with their wacky hair on Tuesday. Working with the East Harbour Kindergarten we raised $1007.40 for the Red Cross Nepal  Appeal funds.


Joss's Hart Walker

Year 7/8 Sparks - Personal Passion Projects
For the first half of this term our Year 7 and 8 pupils are spending Friday mornings focusing on their passions. Each student developed a proposal to present to their teacher on a project they would like to carry out for 5 weeks. They were required to plan and manage their time effectively, think about what resources they required, problem solve to overcome challenges and reflect on the progress they are making. There is a huge variety of projects that the students are working on from fishing, cooking and movie making through to science and history inquiries, teaching PE skills and visual art projects. The teachers have been blown away with the motivation of all the students and how well they are managing themselves in a less structured classroom environment. We will keep you posted with progress throughout the rest of the term!

A special thank you to all the parents who transported children to and from the tournament, the supporters and the team supervisors.

Non-official Results:

Y5/6 Girls (C Grade) - Muritai Nix, 4th Place

Capital E
On April 29th, our Y7-8 technicraft group went on the Eastbourne ferry to Capital E OnTv Studio to film a movie about Gallipoli. When we got there we went into the public lounge area (where we waited to do the filming). It was filled with all sorts of random items and tunnels and was very fun to explore.Then we ventured upstairs to the OnTv studio. They had a filming room with green screen, a sound room and a costume / make up room. After much rehearsing we started filming. The documentary covered the beginning of WW1, the landings, the trenches, diseases, technology, truces and how it ended. We did three run throughs and then chose the best one to be the final one. Everyone found it most informative and had a lot of fun at the same time. The group did their job amazingly and the final film looked very good. Once we had finished we went to the food court to buy lunch and then to Frank Kitts park to eat. On our way back to the ferry we stopped in at the City and Sea Museum and had a quick browse. Being involved in this project and filming at OnTv was an awesome experience and we would love to do it again.
Thanks to Mrs Hooke for organising the trip and Suzanne Levy for accompanying us.
