Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome back to Term three. A special welcome back to Harry K who joined Room 10 mid-way through last term. I hope you all managed to have a relaxing break and enjoy all the lovely weather we had.
Topics - Our Topics this term are Our Fantastic Elastic Brain and Material world for Science later in the term. The maths interchange between the Year Three and Four continues with the classes working on fractions, proportions and ratios, number knowledge and strategy along with problem solving. For writing, the children will be working on ideas, structure/vocabulary, punctuation and sentences. In reading the main emphasis will continue to be the five important strategies needed to help understand what we read.
Home Learning - This continues in the same format as last term. The most important part of Home Learning is the reading, as we are really trying to foster the love of reading with your children. If you need any advice or help with this aspect please contact me.
Library - Our library day is Friday. This is an important aspect of our literacy programme and books need to be changed frequently. A library bag is essential to transport the books to and from school.
Class Blog - The class blog is a great way of seeing what is happening in the class. We enjoy getting comments from home and try to update it at regularly as possible.
Sport - We are having Mainland Football and Lynn from the Tennis Club coaching the children in the respective sports.
Parent Help - Parent help is always appreciated. If you can help with anything- reading, maths, cleaning, putting away books, class trips- please let me know.
Bits and Bobs - At some stage through the year could you please donate a box of tissues for the class to use if you have not already done so. We are going through the ones that have been donated.
Dates to Note -
Book week 5-9 September
Science Fair 6.00pm Thursday 15 September
Thank you for your support.
Robyn Lean- Class Teacher
