Class Newsletter for Room 2 Term3 2013
Dear
Parents and Caregivers,
I have enjoyed hearing about all the fun things
that the children did during the holidays. Thanks to the fabulous weather we
had, a large number of children enjoyed time at the beach. Let’s hope the good
weather lasts. It will help keep winter ills at bay.
We are ready now for another busy term.
On Friday we will celebrate St.Anne’s feast Day.
This will be such a nice way to get the term up and running. Our Religious
Education programme this term is a mixed bag. We will be exploring ways to pray
and experience the presence of God through our senses and through dance and
music. In the first few weeks we will be focusing on a health unit on Sexuality
and it will have a strong RE thread running through it. In the second part of
the term we will be looking at social justice issues around the theme of work.
We will conclude the term with our annual Mission Fair.
This ties in really well with our overall theme
for the term which is CITIZENSHIP and our school value of INTEGRITY. The key
competency focus will be RELATING TO OTHERS.
The Perpetual Motor Programme and Kiwi Sport
will continue this term. If you find that yourself available to help with PMP
on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning please let me know. We are always
looking for volunteers. Thank you so much to the parents who do help.
At the end of last term we had a big problem in
this class trying to eradicate an outbreak of lice. Some children still have lice
despite their parents’ best efforts.
Every child’s hair needs to be checked regularly in order to get rid of
them. Tying girl’s hair back helps a lot. Thank you for your support in this.
Don’t forget to check out our blog. We would
love to have more followers and for comments to be made about the various
posts.
Please don’t hesitate to see me about any
concerns you may have and you are always welcome to come in before or after
school to see your child’s work.
Regards
Marian
