Welcome to Term 4

Newsletter Kiwi Class Term 4

Welcome to Term 4. We hope you have had a wonderful rest with your children.

This is a short term with lots happening. First we would like to say a special and HUGE thank you to the wonderful Mums who helped last term with swimming. Your help was much appreciated.

Here is a small preview to what is planned.

*Our focus this term will be drama and Science. *Athletic sports will be held on Tuesday 15 November 9:15 – 12:30, followed by lunch. *Oral language will continue to be a major part of our day, however it will be slightly different…Memory Monday (discussion about the weekend), Topical Tuesday (children will have turns at bringing a newspaper clipping to share with us, you will receive a reminder on the Friday before) and Wondering Wednesday . *Don’t forget to check out the blog from time to time, I will try and put something new on each week! *During the term we will have a new friend visiting and possibly starting school with us, please welcome Hugo and his family if you see them.

We have a fabulous group parents who help in the class room, if you want to join them, please pop in and see us, we would welcome your help.

During the last week of term on the Wednesday evening will be our final school assembly, it is a great time to come and celebrate the children’s learning throughout the school, it is a late night however the children can have a sleep in the following day!

DON”T FORGET SUNHATS THIS TERM

Please come and see us if you have any queries or questions.

Kind regards Julie and Karen

A huge welcome to Nicole, who has started school this week.

Thank you to the parents who came to our Phonics meetings last week. We hope you learnt lots. Our next parent meeting will be on Numeracy, next term.

It is great to see every one in the Kiwi Class working so hard and using fabulous D level behaviour.

Reminders…

*Quite a few children are yawning at 9:00am, please ensure your child/children are getting enough sleep! (Let me know if you are having trouble getting them to sleep, sometimes a little reminder from Mrs Walls helps!!!)

*If your child is learning alphabet or words, please spend time with them every night, so that it reinforces what happens in class.
