I hope that everyone has had a wonderful, sunny
holiday and a great start to 2012. This term is very busy 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 2. Our main strand is “JESUS
is our 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 ENERGY and in Science we will
discover about mixing and melting under the title of “Sand, Salt and Jelly
Crystals”.
In Health, later in the term, we will talk about
healthy foods that provide us with energy.
As part of our Visual Art, we will be going on a
visit to the Botanic Gardens on 27th February. We will be involved
in a 90 minute lesson on WATERCOLOUR painting led by an Art Gallery teacher. We
will leave school at 10.00 and return by 3.00.
We will need to take our lunch and a jacket.
This term our PE is Kiwisport and Adventure-based Learning entitled ”Creative
Play” which will involve movement with much imagination using all parts of our
bodies. Watch also for swimming times in the school newsletter.
The 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.
Students will bring home a reading book daily
except on Friday when they will bring home their Letterland song book to sing
to you at the weekend.
I am looking forward to a great term with the
children and value all your support.
