WELCOME BACK !
I hope you all had a lovely holiday and the children
looking forward to a fresh start in term 2.
There is much to
do this term. I am looking forward to
lots if outdoor activities after a
wonderful ten days in sunny Brisbane.
Thanks for your
thoughts and support during my injury recovery last term and rest assured that
I am fully fit and very happy.
The students will continue to be guided and supported in
keeping the routines to engage in learning at this level. I hope that the
children will work on developing their responsibility with a positive attitude
to make further progress in their school work. I shall endeavour to do the best
I can to ensure their progress in all areas.
Term 2 - SUSTAINABILITY
The big
concept that weaves through all our learning is Sustainability so most ,if not ,all of our studies will be around this theme.
LONGTERM PLAN
RE- The major
strands for the term will be HOLY SPIRIT and JESUS. The students will be
involved in active ways to expand their knowledge and apply their learning
through their actions and thoughts.
You shall be
informed of the content of studies in your child’s RE exercise book. This book
will be sent home on a regular basis with home activities to be completed with
your support. This exercise enables you to understand the learning objectives.
It is important that you sign each activity on completion and write a comment
at the end of the study in each strand.
We shall also be
studying another aspect of the Prayer Module as well as Easter,The Ascension
and Pentecost in the Liturgical Year
module.
The Family Whanau

information about the RE programme from Year 1 to Year 8.You may buy it or
borrow one from school the office.
