Week 4, Term 3, 2017

Hi everyone, I hope you have all had a super weekend with your families.  Lots of Winter sports drew to a close over the weekend which is exciting because it means Summer sport is just around the corner and so is warmer weather!  Yipee.  

This is what week 4 will look like in Room 13....

*Go4it - we will continue Go4it with Tim on Thursday afternoon.  The kids are having a great time during these sessions and are practising some great skills.  Please send shorts with the girls on this day.

*Assumption - we will have a Liturgy at 10am on Tuesday in the Hall to celebrate the Assumption of Mary.  All are welcome.

*We will definitely be setting our rockets off this week.  First we had Hiwi the Kiwi, then it rained all week...poor kids come to school every day thinking we are sending a rocket to Mars and I put them off.  This week will most definitely be rocket week!

*Golden Time - this week we will be having a pj party for Golden Time.  Please send pjs with your kids on Friday.

*Reading - We are rocketing along with reading in Room 13.  Please remember that reading to your child every day is  an absolute must.  Firstly it shows the kids that reading is important to you and  secondly it models good reading to them.

*Writing -  seeing as we didn't set our rockets off last week, we didn't get the writing done either.  This week we will be writing recounts about our rocket launch as well as explanations so that others can follow our instructions and set their own rockets off.

*Maths - Alim is going very well.  I have added another student to our group so we have 5 alim kids now.  We spend the first 15 minutes of the day on maths with this group and they are making great progress.  This week in maths we will continue on addition and subtraction.  Some of us are focusing on counting on and back to solve maths problems and the rest of us are splitting hundreds, tens and ones  as well as counting on and back in tens to solve problems.  Please, please, please, practice counting forward and back from any number within 100.

*R.E - we will continue our learning around Jesus this week with a Jesus feast to compare the foods Jesus ate with those we ate as well as looking at how Jesus can be a friend to us all.

Things are going very well in Room 13.  I am very proud of the work that is being produced and the way in which the kids are supporting each other.  Thank you once again for your continued support.

Have a great week

Annie
