Room 1 Newsletter for Term 3

Dear Parents/ Caregivers,

Welcome back to Term 3 when, hopefully, we are heading into warmer Spring weather. We could all do with some sunshine!

 The Jesus strand continues in Religious Education, followed by the Church strand.

Our focus is on COMMUNICATION- using gesture, mime, art and movement as some ways of communicating without speech. During this time, we will be finding out about our place in the world and how we all communicate our ideas and feelings. We will visit The ARTBOX next week and the Linwood Library as a start to this topic.

In the second half of the term, we will be completing “Keeping Ourselves Safe”. Watch the school newsletter for information on this programme. REMEMBER to watch the school newsletter for other upcoming events, including Games Day, Kapahaka Festival.

Our English focus is Narrative when we will enjoy stories and learn to create some of our own. We will each be memorizing a poem of choice to recite individually to Room 2. More information will follow about this as your child will need practice at home.

We will continue this term with PMP. Thank you to those adults who have generously offered their time each week to make this programme possible. I am sure that you hear lots about this programme from the children as it is a real favourite with them.

Find attached a password for STUDYLADDER which your child will enjoy. Please remember to use SUNSHINE CLASSICS which you received a password for last term.  It is a useful reading support. I was impressed with the results of those who used it during the holidays- keep it up!

Remember to log into our blog (stannes101.blogspot.co.nz ) to keep up with our learning in Room 1. We love to get your comments here.

If you have any questions or can add to our learning, please call in to see me.
