Week 3, Term 2, 2017

Hi everyone, welcome back to another fantastic week of learning in Room 13.  

*The Movies: we will walk to the movies on Friday at around 9:45.  If you are able to accompany us, that would be super.  Please email me to let me know your availability.

*Maths: This week we will be working on skip counting to solve maths problems.  We skip count in 2's, 5's and 10's and this helps us solve problems like.....


The three bears lived in a warm cosy cave.  Every day the bears ate 2 pots of honey each.  How many pots of honey do the bears eat each day?

                    2       2       2                  

We can either use repeated addition 2 +2+ 2= 6 
or skip counting 2,4,6     


*Writing: This week is Science week.  We will be carrying out some science experiments and writing them up.  
We will be writing about Autumn next week.  We will be going on an Autumn walk to inspire our descriptive stories then we will do some art work and display both our writing and pictures in the hall foyer.  We will also write some fun stories like "what do teachers do after school closes?" and "what if I met an elephant on the way to school?"  We are currently working on planning stories and using labels to help us in our story writing.

*Recycling: Please could we collect egg containers this week in our recycling containers.  We will use them for sorting and practising our skip counting.

*Golden Time: This week we will be making our recycled pencil containers.  Our Mothers day cards were quite labour intensive so we didn't get to them last Friday.  Please send along a recycled tin can if you haven't already.

*Sadly Mrs Halls Mum died during the weekend.  We will all be thinking about her in our prayers this week and hoping that her mum is safely with God in Heaven.

*Now that the weather is getting colder, the kids will be needing warm jackets to and from school.  The school polar fleece is a great option because they are allowed to wear them at play time and lunch time.  They can be found in the Warehouse now and wash and dry very easily.

*Our class are working beautifully together at the moment.  Thank you for your continued encouragement of the kids and their learning.  Keep up that great home reading and spelling and don't hesitate to give me a yell if you have any questions.

Have a great week
Annie
