Term 2 Newsletter

Room 2 Newsletter   Term 2 2015

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to the 2^nd term. I hope you all enjoyed the Easter break.

The “big question” this term is:

Why do we remember people and events from the past?

Under the Social Sciences umbrella we will be talking about Anzac Day and why it is significant for our country. We will be planting poppies and be involved in a whole school poppy installation to mark Anzac Day this year.

In our RE programme we will also be learning more about a significant event inour own lives – our baptism. Then we will be exploring the lives of saints and inspiring people.

These topics all lend themselves to lots of discussion at home. Hopefully the children will share some of the things tey have talked about wit the rest of the class.

Kiwi Sport will continue every 2^nd Wednesday and next week PMP will be up and running for the term. Thank you so much for all the generous volunteers who make this programme possible.

For English this term we will be talking, reading and writing about recounts. In the Arts we will be developing our drawing skills and exploring different media.

Room 1 and 2 have a trip to the Imagination Station in Cathedral Junction on Tuesday, 5^th May. This trip has been heavily subsidised by the Christchurch City Council so your child only needs to bring $1 to school to cover the costs. Thank you to the parents who will be coming with us.

A timetable of term events will be sent out again this term to help you keep track of what is happening. Don’t forget to check out our blog which is regularly updated. We would love to have more feedback from you.

Thanks for all your support.
