WELCOME BACK TO TERM 2
Room 1 Newsletter for Term 2, 2012
Dear
Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome
back to another busy term. The weather now has a truly Autumn feel and the
warm, still days have been great. I hope you were able to get outside and enjoy
them. As we head into Winter, remember that the children are entitled to a free
flu injection to help protect us all from an outbreak of flu.
In
Religious Education, we start this term with Easter and continue on into the
HOLY SPIRIT strand.
Over the
first 2 weeks we will learn about Cybersafety focussing on some important
messages for the children when they use technology such as the internet. I will
send you the online programme that we are using at the end of our study so that
you can reinforce these important messages with your child.
Our
learning for Term 2 revolves around a school focus on SUSTAINABILITY within the
Science Learning Area. In Room 1 , we will focus on INSECTS and their important
role in our world. This in turn will see us learning how to write Information
Reports relating to Insects.
Our Arts
focus is Dance and we will be identifying Pathways
as we learn about the fable of “The Cicada and the Ant”. We will create some
interesting movements.
Our P.E.
also follows the Pathways theme.
This term we will be having Kiwi Sport every Friday, much to the children’s
delight!
THINKING
skills will be to the fore this term, with students asking and answering
questions with thought and purpose- I hope!!
Thank you
to those parents who helped out with all our activities last term, including
the interesting and delicious cultural shared lunch. We hope to have
interesting events this term but our planned Museum trip is already on hold
with the shutting of the Museum due to earthquake damage. I will have to think
again!
Please
come in if you have any questions or ideas to help with our Insects.
