Term 1, Week 10

Thanks to all for a short but action packed week in Room 3 last week. We had five awesome children join us from Room 1 (and we are loving having our new friends with us!), three different teachers, a wild, wet Wednesday, and an outing to Natureland! Huge thanks to those parents who helped us out with transport and supervision, we really appreciate your time and support :) Have you seen our photos on the blog?

This week in Room 3 promises to be just as exciting as we welcome Harold the Giraffe from the Life Education Trust who is visiting us on Monday and again on Wednesday. We also look forward to a visit from Janice Oliver on Wednesday who will be working with us on our Fundamental Movement Skills – it’s amazing just how closely linked our physical and our intellectual development are! Room 10 will return for buddy maths on Tuesday, and as ever we’ll be soldiering on with our reading and writing.  

In other news, learning journals will go home this Friday containing reading, writing, maths and topic (peer mediation/communication) work samples, together with term goals and, for children who have been at school for two full terms, interim National Standards reports. There are 11 children in Room 3 who will receive reports this term – the others will all receive interim (6 month) and/or final (12 month) reports in term 2. Please share your learning journals over the weekend and return to school in the final week of term (next week!) :)
