2017 Room 16 Term 2 Newsletter
Welcome
back to Room 16!
I hope
you all had a wonderful holiday!
Miss
Harris and Miss Robb our Grad students, will also continue
Working
with us on Thursdays.
We have
another busy term planned.
We are
beginning the term with special topics:
·
The
Knighton Way –Being Organised
·
How
our bodies work
·
ASB
GetWise
·
Matariki
and Te Ika a Maui
·
Large
and small ball skills
In maths
we will be covering geometry, numeration and algebra.
In literacy
this term we will continue focusing on developing early literacy skills, phonics
and alphabet, handwriting, reading and starting the writing process.
Homework
On
Monday to Thursday your child will bring home a reading book.
On
Fridays your child will bring home a poem book to share.
During the term the children will also
receive spelling words. These words will be basic sight words, which your
child will be seeing in his/her reading and writing activities. You can find
these spelling words on the classroom blog.
Before school
This
term we will be discussing how we can be organised. In Room 16 the children are
encouraged to hang up their bags and put their book bags in the green bucket
when they arrive at school themselves.
Library
Our
library day is Wednesday. The children will bring home one or two library books
each. Please help them to remember to
return them to school each Wednesday so they can choose different books to
share with you at home.
Junior School Assembly
These take place on Friday at 9.10am. All parents and
caregivers are welcome!
Medication
Just a
reminder that if you want the school to administer medicine to your child during
the school day a consent form needs to be filled out. These are available from the office.
