WELCOME BACK
Kia Orana – Greetings
from Rarotonga!
Tena koutou
I hope you all had a restful and warm holiday break.
The children look well rested and are ready for learning in the third term.
Thank you for all the support and I hope the mid-year
reports clearly informed you of how your child is learning at school. Once again, revisit the
goals set with your child and set new ones using recommendations made in the
reports.
During the term the students will be guided and supported in
keeping the routines to engage in learning at this level. I hope that the
children will continue to work on becoming self-propelled learners and develop this responsibility with a
positive attitude.I shall endeavour to do the best I can to ensure their
progress in all areas.
The assertive
discipline policy in my class is designed to help those children who need help in acquiring
appropriate behaviours.
Our key competency focus is participating and contributing
and I would like to see the students grow in becoming more confident in this
area.
COMMUNICATION
The big concept that weaves through all our learning is COMMUNICATION which means that most if not all of our studies will be around this theme.
In the first few weeks the students will be busy making preparations for the feast day activities and their assembly.
We are also visiting the Art Gallery on Wednesday 25 July and look forward to the experience.
LONGTERM PLAN
RE-.
There are two major strands for the term are Church
and Sacrament. The students will continue to be involved in a very active way
to live and expand their faith. Separate letters informing you of the content
of studies will be in your child’s RE
exercise book. This book will be sent home on a regular basis with home
activities to be completed requiring your input. This exercise allows you to
support the learning that happens in class .It is important that you sign each
home activity on completion and write a comment at the end of the study in each
strand .
Our assembly this term will focus on SUSTAINABILITY, a
study we completed last term.
We are also preparing items for our concert on our feast day
coming up.
Room 5 are also responsible for the planning and organization
of the Mission Fair this term and your support and help will be much
appreciated.
