Room 2 Newsletter    Term 2   2012

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to the second term of 2012.

This term the overall theme is “Sustainability”. Rooms 1 and 2 will be looking at the important part insects play in our world. We will be learning about the good, the bad and the interesting and developing an appreciation of these fascinating creatures. We are hoping to visit the museum but it is closed at the moment.  We will keep you informed about this. A small cost will be included in this visit should we go.

Other subjects will be integrated into this theme. In written language we will be learning to write reports. Some of our artworks will be insect related and we will be exploring the myth “The Ant and the Grasshopper” in dance and drama.

We will celebrating the Easter message at the beginning of the term and then move on to the Holy Spirit strand. We will be talking about how the Holy Spirit works in people. In the second half of the term we will focus on the God strand.

Just a reminder during these colder months to ensure your child has a hanky or tissues at school if needed. Thanks.

We are continuing to post new photos or videos on our class blog. We would love feedback on these as well as more followers.

Next week Cathy and I will be away on an ICT Tour in the North Island as part of our professional development. We are looking forward to visiting 5 schools and returning home with some great ideas.

Let’s hope we have a healthy and productive term. Keep up the great work you do with your children.
