Dear Parents,

Welcome to the middle of term 3!

It has been a busy start to the term.  We loved having the ERO team in our classroom – they saw all the wonderful things we were learning and left our room with a very positive outlook on what we do in Room 3.  It is always a stressful time, however it is great for the children to explain to someone else what we are learning and why we are doing it.  Please remember to ask you children what they are learning in class – a lot of them will just say “play and ate my lunch”.  Consider asking them more direct questions for example what did you do in maths today?  What are you learning about in R.E.?

Topics for Term 3

RE – Communion of Saints (Choices) and Church (Called to Service)

English – Report Writing

Maths – Algebra (Patterns) and Number (Multiplication and Division)

Art – Sewing

Topic – Windmills and Water Wheels

PE – Kiwi sport

Please look at our blog – I have been posting some fantastic photos of the children learning different things.  It is evidence of their learning.  I aim to post at least one thing on a week (if not moreJ). http://stmaryschch3.blogspot.co.nz/

Thank you to those parents who hear their child read each night.  It helps the child consolidate what they have been learning in class and gives them confidence with reading aloud.  The children also have spelling words to learn.  These are given out on a Monday and tested on the following Monday.  It is great to see some people make huge progress with their spelling – KEEP IT UP!

As it is going to be a wet week, please make sure your child brings their polar fleece to school and a jacket.  The weather can change so quickly and many children are feeling cold in the afternoon because they haven’t anything to put on.

Here is a photo of the musical instruments the class made with Miss Madden last term.  This term they are sewing – we wait for the creations later in the term:)

 

If you have any questions, please come in and see me before or after school.  I am here at school Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during term 1, 2, 3 and back full time during term 4.  I am more than happy to see you.

Kind Regards

Nicola Anthony
