Term 3

Hello to Students in Room ten and to your families

To save paper, I have decided to put the class 'Connection' on the Blog Site.


This Term we will be:


Speech writing
Creating Calendar Art
Exploring Narrative texts
Investigating Measurement and Geometry
Experiencing Winter Sport Skill Building
Taking part in Creative Thinking and Problem Solving 'Think Tanks'
Improving on our knowledge and understanding of Maori Language in the home and in the classroom
as well as being Introduced to several well known New Zealand Artists and having a go at similar techniques


along with many other learning fabulous experiences and school wide activities.

Homework

Smartkiddies.com will be available again for those students who would like to do extra to keep up their speed and number knowledge. I will set new tasks at the beginning of every week.

For those students who can not get access to a computer, I will set out a timetable in class for them to access the site. I will also be giving out the math homework sheets as this has proven to help students with their overall knowledge of basic math ideas. Homework will be given out on a Monday and marked on a Friday.

Extra homework such as gathering newspaper articles, topic research and gathering of resources for special projects may also be requested of the students.

COLDS AND FLU

Thanks to the families who have donated tissues to the class. If your child is unwell please keep them home. Bugs are spreading extremely quickly now we are back at school and any extra precautions we can take to avoid cross infection help considerably.

GOAL REVIEWS WEEK 4
The class will be reviewing existing and setting new goals for the rest of the year, please look out for the Goal review Sheets and add your comments. I look forward to discussing this important part of your child's final year at TPS.

Thanks for your continued support. Please feel free to come in and discuss any concerns or questions you may have.

Mrs D.
