Room 2 Newsletter Term 1 2014
Dear Parents and
Caregivers,
Welcome back
to another school year. I hope you all had an enjoyable summer break and that
you are full of enthusiasm for the year to come.
Here are some
of the topics we will be exploring this term under the umbrella of IDENTITY.
·
Health; Myself and Others. This will
encompass the Key Competency of Managing Self and the school value of Peace.
·
Social Sciences: The Treaty
of Waitangi. The whole school will be visiting Rehua Marae on 17th
March as part of this.
·
Kiwi Kids. During the term we
will be revisiting this successful study. There will be opportunities to
explore what Kiwi Kids do in the summer and to have some fun experiences.
·
RE: Our Gracious God, Caritas
Lenten unit and Easter
·
The Arts: The main focus this term
will be MUSIC. We will be seeing a
performance of “Cinderella” this term.
·
English: The main genre this term
will be Recounts. Hopefully the children will be able to talk and write about
lots of their own experiences. The Year 3 children will also be talking,
listening, reading and writing about explanations.
·
PE: Kiwi Sport continues this
year. We have a 2 week block of swimming in week 8 and 9.
Don’t forget
our class blog: stannes102.blogspot.co.nz. It is
a great way of keeping up with what is happening in Room 2. It is very easy to
add a comment. The children would love to read what you have to say. If you
have interesting photos from home that your child would like to share please
email them to me at marian@stannes.co.nz.
The main focus
for homework is reading. The children change their book before school and show
me their signed reading journal. They need to be at school early enough to do
this. The Year 3 children choose their own book from home or the library and they
will fill the reading journal. They need to show this to me before school too.
Thanks for all
you support.
Marian
