Kia ora,Talofa Lava Greetings!
I sincerely hope you had a restful break and enjoyed the good weather
and longer as I did.
I
would like to thank you sincerely for your tremendous support and contribution which
made our Mission Fair a great success two weeks ago-the students showed great
organisational skills.
At the start we shall be completing
work and evaluations from term 3 followed by testing in all the core subjects.
The students are consistently setting
goals including behavioural ones, achieving them and then setting new
ones.
This is an important ongoing activity
which started at the beginning of this year. It helps learning progress and
needs close monitoring.
The students should be doing
something similar to help homework and the learning at home.
We
are also looking forward to a Technology day
out of school as we are studying Food Systems – details will follow once
final decisions are made.
Another
event that we need to look at will be related to our role as the Young Vinnies of
St Anne’s and at this stage we are looking at visiting one of the Senior
Citizen homes. Finally Room 5 is responsible for organising the school Mass on
Holy Souls’ Day and the end of year Mass later on the term.
LONGTERM PLAN
RE- The last major strand for the term will be
Communion of Saints
Strand-Saints are inspiring
people.
All
Saints, Holy Souls, Advent ,and Christmas will be taught from the Liturgical
Year module.
Maori
is well integrated in RE.
Standard
letters will be sent out to you as soon as we begin the studies informing you
of the content of studies in your child’s RE exercise book. Your child will
come home with home activities regularly 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 activity on completion and write a comment at the end
of the study in each strand. Note that the Family Whanau book is an invaluable
resource for parents to have at home as
it gives you all the necessary information about the RE programme from Year 1
to Year 8 and may be borrowed from the
school office
