Term 3...wow

Welcome back and what a super term we have coming up. We have lots of exciting learning to do this term. We are in our production term and will be working on 'The Creation Story' from a Maori perspective. We will be dancing, singing and enjoying some dramatic performance learning. Our other area of learning is Keeping Ourselves Safe and this is all about understanding our feelings, and learning strategies that help us to keep safe and make good choices. Our Social Skills carry on through out the term and we are breaking down the connecting behaviours- listening, supporting, encouraging, respecting, trusting, accepting and negotiating. Our first focus is listening!!!
I am looking forward to Week 3 & 4 (04/08/09, 11/08/09) to catch up with parents and share what's been happening over the last two terms. I would love the children to come along to these to explain and share their learning experiences with you too!!

At home the children will bring home a library book every Monday and their spelling so please keep on with this and any maths activities and games to support their learning will be super.

Production will be in Week 9 so keep this on your calendar- 16/09/09 Matinee, 7pm show, 17/09/09 7pm show.

Keep warm and bring on the spring weather I say..

Looking forward to seeing you soon

Assemblies for the term are Week 4, Week 7, and Week 10
