WELCOME TO
ROOM 1 FOR 2015.
I hope that everyone has had a wonderful, sunny holiday
and a great start to 2015. This term is a very busy 9 weeks and we will do our
best to make the most of this Summer term.
We begin the year with PRAYER and move quickly into
Lent which starts with Ash Wednesday in Week 3. Our main strand is “Jesus- My
friend”.
English will have an emphasis on DESCRIPTIONS,
especially increasing our vocabularies to help us to produce interesting
descriptions in our writing and speaking. We will do many fun activities to
provide opportunities for our writing.
Our school focus is CITIZENSHIP and in Health and
PE we will discover about RELATING TO OTHERS- being good class and school
citizens. Making the most of the excitement over the Cricket World Cup, we will
also look at the co-operation and understandings that occur to make this a
successful event.
In Week 3, we have arranged a visit from The Art Gallery
when we will learn the skills of brushwork to obtain effects with paint. We
will then continue to create sculptures which we can decorate.
The students will be thrilled to know that
Kiwisport will continue on Wednesdays this year. Our PE is Co-operative Play
which will involve being active while using skills of respect through sharing
and co-operating in groups. Watch also for swimming times, later in the term, in
the school newsletter.
The school newsletter will come home every
Wednesday so watch for it and read it carefully to ensure that nothing is
overlooked in your family!
Reports and interviews are after 6 weeks and then
6 monthly but please ask questions or make a time to discuss any worries that
you may have. My email is cathy@stannes.co.nz
Students will bring home a reading book daily,
except on Friday when they will bring home their Letterland song book to sing
for you at the weekend, along with a library book.
PLEASE remember to read and comment on our class
blog.
