2018 Term 4 Newsletter


Welcome back to Term 4 2018!

I hope that you all have had a wonderful relaxing holiday and that the children are ready for another busy term of learning!

This term we are focusing on these special topics:         
·       The Knighton Way- Being Confident
·       Shake Out -Earthquakes
·       Sam and his Farmyard Friends
·       Swimming- this will begin on Tuesday next week. Our swimming days will be Tuesday and Friday after the lunch break. Please can the children bring a bag with a towel, swimming suit (and goggles if they have any). The children will be dressing and undressing themselves, so it is important that the children have ‘easy’ clothing to wear.
·       Conservation and our world
·       The different ways we celebrate
In math we will be covering addition, subtraction and measurement.
In literacy this term we will continue focusing on developing those early literacy skills, phonics and alphabet, handwriting, reading and starting the writing process.

Just a reminder:
Homework
On Monday to Thursday your child will bring home a reading book.
On Friday your child will bring home a poem book to share.
Sunhats
Term 4 is a sunhat term! J Please can you make sure your child has a Knighton sunhat at school every day.  (This is part of our school ‘Sun-smart’ policy.)
Medication
Just a reminder that if you wish  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.
Library
Our library day continues to be Wednesday afternoon. The children will bring home a library book each.  Please help them to remember to return them to school each Wednesday so they can choose a different one to share with you at home.
Junior School Assembly
This takes place on Friday at 9.10am. All parents and caregivers are welcome!
