Welcome back to another exciting term, I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable break. This letter is just to let you know a little about what will be happening in Term Two.
Spelling, tables and reading log will begin this week and will be the same as it was last term. Please sign your child’s notebook and reading log to show they are completing these at home.
Our Inquiry Topic for Term Two is ‘Change’, looking at ‘the technology of toys past, present and future’. During this unit students will be designing, creating, building, and evaluating their own new and modified toys. If you have any handy bits and pieces to help with the build such as; egg containers, lids, bottles, shoe boxes, old rugby socks, plastic containers, buttons, small boxes, could you please bring these during the term..
In week 2 educators from Ferrymead
Historic Park will come to school and bring with them example of old toys and
games and facilitate a day of teaching and learning about historic toys,
puppets, games etc. There is a cost for this of $4 and if this could be paid to
Shelley by Week 2 this would be much appreciated.
Other focus subjects in Term 2 are:
Religious Education -Holy Spirit and Church.
Mathematics- Addition and Subtraction and Statistics.
English- Discussion and instructions.
Kiwisport and Library continue on
Thursdays.
Please check that your child still has
all stationery needed in Room 4 including a red pen, ruler, pencils, eraser
etc.
All dates and times of events and
activities this term will follow in the School Newsletter.
I hope this answers some of your
questions. If you have any other queries please feel free to contact me at
school for an appointment or e-mail at ryan@stannes.co.nz
I look forward a very productive and
successful term with your child. Please

Ryan McInnes
