WELCOME TO
ROOM 1 FOR 2017.
I hope that everyone has had a wonderful holiday
and a great start to 2017. A big welcome to our new families. We hope you will
quickly become part of St Anne’s family.
This term is a very busy 11 weeks and we will do
our best to make the most of the Summer weather.
We begin the year with PRAYER and move into Lent
which starts with Ash Wednesday in Week 5. Our main strand is GOD.
English will have an emphasis on Description,
especially reading many examples in order to become familiar with these books. We
will do many fun activities do provide opportunities for our writing.
In Week 2, we have arranged a visit to the beach
at Sumner which will initiate our curiousity around beach habitats. Our school
focus this year will revolve around water.
An exciting programme continuing this year, every
Friday for 30 minutes, is KIDS CAN where the students learn values and develop
life skills.
The students will be thrilled to know that Youth
Town will be on Mondays this year, taking the place of Kiwisport. 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/thoughts
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. Some maths games are also
available in the class to go home if students wish to play them with you after
school.
PLEASE remember to read and comment on our class
blog.
