Term 3Our Drama


Welcome back everyone to a new term. I hope everyone managed to have a break despite the weather challenges. Some stories tell me many made the most of the snow and time to travel out of town which was great. I managed, despite Jetstar and some Volcanic challenges to get to enjoy some time with my daughter so I am ready for the term ahead. 
We welcome Destiny to our room from Christchurch and Mrs Townsend who is in our room every morning till 9.45.
The term will be as busy  as others ........
We begin next week with a Winter visit to the Tihi  reserve to compare its fauna and Flaura  from the summer visit. Thankyou for the offers of help so far now fingers crossed for dry weather.
Other visits to the museum etc during the term I will notify you all closer to the time.

Homework continues this term with some more able readers now getting some follow up activities to complete at home. ( A perfect opportunity for you to see the work covered at school)
 Homestudy through Studyladder also continues with fresh activities added this term. Great effort so far on this from everyone. The reading challenge also worked well with reading progress maintained despite the break.( A big thanks to those parents who supported this it really does show in class)
Destiny our new student!

Drama activity during our discovery time today!
Such dynamic and entertaining characters!

Week 11


A week where the class have enjoyed the fruits of their hard work this term.....their latest stories about their Earthquake fundraising day really shows this. Many children have also improved in their reading levels too with many having new keyrings or groups. Really neat to see as their teacher.

I have put the July School Holiday Reading Challenge on the Reading page. Your child knows about this and already they have shown a keeness to begin. As a class we have decided if all activities are completed 3 sticker are earned for their personal sticker charts.

Enjoy the holidays with your "Angels" and have a happy, safe and restful break .
