Principal’s Comments: Dear Families, This term has been another great term for staff and students alike at Belmont Primary. With testing results exceeding expectations throughout English and Maths, there has obviously been some hard work put in. Our new program called IXL maths has helped most of Belmont’s students in their learning. IXL maths is a website that your children can use to help them with their Maths and English. There are all sorts of entertaining and knowledge gaining activities that your children can practice at home. IXl maths makes mathematics less of a chore for your kids. Here is the link https://nz.ixl.com/ School trips have also been part of B.P.S’s school curriculum. This past term the Junior and Middle Syndicates have bravely ventured to both the Stardome and Mindlab. On both of these trips our syndicates have gained knowledge in these subjects that we hope they can take throughout their schooling. The Senior Syndicate have been investigating robotics and control technology this term and have been playing with a set of small robots called EDISON. This has helped our older pupils understand how robots move and operate and has EDISON got them into coding! Along with this our kids are rapidly preparing for B.P.S’s upcoming school show: Lion King Jr. which is in week eight and nine of next term. We look forward to the school show, and hope that you will enjoy it
