Dear Parents/Caregivers of Room 4 Students,

 

Welcome back to another school year! I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable holiday. I look forward to meeting all the new faces in Room 4 this year.

 This letter is to just let you know a little about what will be happening this term, however more specific information will follow in the weekly School Newsletter and on our blog. (http://stannes104.blogspot.co.nz)

 Homework will start week two this term and will be handed out on Mondays and returned on Fridays.  Homework is designed to have 15 minutes minimum a night spent on it. Homework consists of 12 times tables to be learnt each night, 10 spelling words and a reading log to be filled out daily. This homework is in line with current professional theories that children should not be overwhelmed by large quantities of homework instead they should complete the basics of reading, spelling and basic facts well.

Topic	‘Energy’ – This has a science and technology focus on energy sources, such as wind, solar, tidal, hydro, coal etc. Looking at exploring renewable and sustainable energy sources.
Writing	Punctuation and writing skills, and Report Writing.
Maths	Number and Problem Solving, and Measurement.
R.E	Prayer and Jesus Strand.
P.E	Striking and fielding Skills, and Cross Country Training.

 

Starting week 5 we will start our swimming programme for 2013. Children must remember to bring their togs and a towel on these days. There will be a more informative note on swimming to follow.

 Thank you to all those who have sent their children with named stationery and hats, can these all please be here by Friday.

 Library day is Thursday this year and it would be a great help if children remember to bring their books back on this day.

 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 to an exciting 2013, working with the fabulous children in Room 4.

Yours sincerely,

Ryan McInnes
