Welcome back to Term 2. Hopefully everyone is rested and ready to go.
This term we are going to be focusing on our enviro areas in greater detail and incorporating this into our reading and writing.
We will be investigating planting and what we could do better in regards to this. Therefore the students will be researching planting in great detail. In writing this means that the students need to know how to take notes properly and how to write up their notes into reports.
In reading they will be reading about planting - types of planting, what to plant, when and where to plant, etc. In maths we will be linking our enviro learning with finding a better way to run the enviro bank. As well as that, we are beginning the term focussing on fractions in maths.
Technology will take place this term and you should all have had a notice explaining how it will run. Students will be selecting their choices early on in the term.
At the end of term TOPEC made the decision to call off our trip due to the bad weather. We are hoping to reschedule the trip for later in the year.
Homework will be slightly different this term. There will be reading and spelling for all, and a few maths basic facts for some, including IXL (an online maths programme similar to Mathletics. Then there will be some optional tasks for those that wish to do them. This will discussed with the students during this week.
Remember now that it is colder to please remind your children to wear appropriate clothing to school. Those students playing with an oval ball during break times are required to wear a mouthguard. It is also a good idea to include a change of clothes in case of wet or muddy clothes.
As always you are welcome to pop in or email me if you wish to chat about anything.
