Greetings Parents, children and friends,

Wow term 3 is here at last :)  I hope you all had a wonderful break and the weather was fantastic!!

We especially welcome Chirara to our class all the way from Italy - we hope you have a long and happy association with St Marys - we are a awesome school!

Thank you to all the parents who came to parent interview last term - it was valuable  for Mrs Wilson and myself to share with you what your children are doing at school.

Now that Mr O'Neill and I have worked out the password to the blog I will endeavor to get the stories that have won up on it as well as photos taken throughout the last few terms.

This term we are studying and celebrating our own culture - as individual families and as a class and school.  I look forward to learning about where all my children are from - we have children in Room 3 from Philippines, East Timor, Italy, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Chile, India, New Zealand European, New Zealand Maori and Hungry - what a lot to learn. 

Another big focus this term is learning and retaining our Multiplication tables - it is an essential skill for the children to learn and it certainly helps with all areas of Maths!

The children should also be reading - this is without the tv or computer on as this can prove to be a distraction.  Children of this age should be reading for at least 20 minutes every night.  More information will follow during the term about ideas to get your child to read :)

Keep checking back to see how much I have managed to upload.
Mrs Anthony
