Term 3 news

Welcome back to Term Three.

This term we have decided to send our newsletter home via the blog rather than on paper.

A special welcome to Julia Chapman and her family. Julia joined Room 10 at the end of Term Two. Also a special thank you to the parents who have been helping with Reading groups since the beginning of the year. Your help is hugely appreciated.

Term Three is a busy one with our whole school production during Week Nine. The theme of the production is Fairy tales and to coincide with this our BookWeek theme is also Fairy tales. Next week is BookWeek and there will be a parade on Friday where the children are encouraged to dress up as their favourite fairy tale or nursery rhyme character.

What we are learning this term:

English - Reading and Writing Narratives, and Poetry recitation


(We have been using the picture above as a prompt for writing.)

Maths - Measurement, Multiplication and Division, and Fractions
Arts - Drama, Visual Art and preparing for the Production
Sports - Hockey and Basketball

What's on...

A Visit from the Christchurch Library - 27th July
Maui production - 6th August
Book Week - Week Three - 3rd - 7th August
Jump Rope for Heart - 26th August
Production Week - Week 9 - 14th- 18th September

Keep an eye on the newsletter and of course this blog.

Kind regards,
Robyn Lean
