Term 3 Newsletter

Room 2 Newsletter Term 3, 2015

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome back to the 3^rd term of the year. It is a lovely thought that we will begin to have more daylight hours.

Once again we have lots of interesting things planned for the term.

The whole school is focusing on The Nature of Science in the first part of the term. The Room 1 and 2 children have already chosen the subjects they are curious about and they have formulated some questions to guide their research. We will be having a Science Expo on the 14^th August to share our discoveries.

We will then be having some lessons on self-esteem from the Life Education Trust. This will be a great way to start our Health and Sexuality unit. It is a requirement that we teach this subject. You can read more about Sexuality Education in a pamphlet that is available in the office.

Our Arts focus for the term is Dance. The children have loved  folk dancing and they will hopefully enjoy the other forms of dance that we will explore.

Our writing genre for this term is Report Writing.  This is also the term that we have poetry recitations. There will be more information on this later in the term.

The RE topics this term are quite a mix. We are finishing the Saints and Inspiring People strand. This will be followed by the God strand and we will finish the term with the Caritas Social Justice unit. One of the highlights of the school year is the annual Mission Fair. This will be held on the last Wednesday of the term.

PMP continues this term thanks to the generosity of parents and grandparents. The benefits and enjoyment had from this programme are huge. If any other parent/grandparent is in a position to help on a Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning, please let me know as we are always looking for more volunteers.

Don’t forget to check out our blog. We love receiving comments!

Please check if your child needs a new glue stick or whiteboard pen.

Thank you for your support.
