Greetings to you all.
I am certain
you all had a lovely holiday and
the children looking forward to making a great start in the new year.
There is a lot to look forward to this term
and I am rather excited. It is my goal to provide all
students with an educationally challenging, yet fun, experience in my classroom.
You
are welcome to discuss anything you wish concerning Room 5 - just arrange a
time.
I
look forward to parent help and support.
In the first few weeks the students will be guided and
supported in keeping the routines to engage in learning at this level. I hope
that the children will 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 l need help in acquiring appropriate
behaviours.
CITIZENSHIP
The big
concept that weaves through all our learning is CITIZENSHIP which means that most, if not all of our studies, will
be around this theme.
In the
first few weeks the students will be led to follow class routines to sure that
they are good classroom citizens, and grouped at appropriate levels in the core
subjects of Reading, Writing and Moths.
LONGTERM PLAN
RE- We shall be studying how to pray using the
whole self ,gestures and movement from the
Prayer Module. Ash Wednesday, Lent and Holy Week will be covered in the in the
Liturgical Year module. The major strand for the term will be JESUS- “Jesus – The Fullness of God’s Revelation”.
The students will be involved in a practical ways to live and expand their faith.
You will be informed of the content of studies through
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 activity on completion and write a comment at the
end of the study in each strand.
