ROOM
1 NEWSLETTER FOR
TERM 4, 2013.
Dear Parents,
Term 4 is traditionally a busy term and this year we have much
to do in 10 weeks. As well as our class programme, Room 1 and 2 produce a
Christmas Musical for you in the last week of term.
Our focus for Religious Education will be SAINTS. This will be
followed by ADVENT as we lead up to the Holy Season of Christmas.
Athletics is taking place in all classes and our popular Kiwisport.
This term our school-wide focus is INNOVATION and classes will
be involved with Social Science. Room 1 and 2 hope to create a story blanket
based on a Maori legend. We are lucky enough to be having a visit from a
librarian who will bring some story blankets for us to examine and who will
read us some legends. Our Maori legends will also give us the opportunity to
learn about early Maori innovations as they interacted with their surroundings.
Hopefully, later in the term, we can show you what we have been creating. We
will be focusing our reading and writing on Narratives, including legends.
On the 5th
November, the school will celebrate Parihaka Day. Watch the school newsletter
for more information.
As
is our tradition, we hope to attend the A&P Show on 14th November and, as
usual, we rely heavily upon parent help in order to make this possible (not
suitable for preschoolers).Thanks to the Parents and Friends for subsidizing
this trip/ bus. Cathy French
