Term 1, Week 9

I hope that you all had an absolutely fabulous Easter break and I’m really looking forward to reading all of your stories about your long weekend. A special welcome to those five new children joining us from Room 1, and to their families – we are so excited to be sharing our learning together!  Please see me if you have any unanswered questions about your new career as a Room 3 student or parent :)

Last week in Room 3 we learned about road safety with Constrable McKitrick through the Stepping Out safe walking programme, and we had a wonderful time on Thursday with all of the awesome tabloid sports activities organised for us by our senior students. Thanks to those parents who came to watch, we love having your support :)

This week is a very short week and – unusally! – there are no new spelling words or maths facts to learn as we are revising and reviewing those we’ve learned to date. We’ll have another go at our self portraits (in colourful crayon) to be sure that we have a profile for all new members in our class gallery. Mrs Karki will be in on Thursday, and we look forward to continuing our focus on the Peer Mediation (Cool Schools) peaceful conflict resolution  programme.

As well as our awesome additions from Room 1, our other big news this week is our class trip to Natureland (combined with Room 1) on Friday. If you have – wonderfully! – offered to provide transport, please be at school at 9am on Friday as we will head straight over.  We’ll be using up a lot of energy on our outing, so please pack plenty of delicious, nutritious goodies into our lunchboxes to keep us going throughout the day :) Shoes, hats and fleeces must be at school on Friday, it is just so important that we have safe toes, shaded faces and cosy bodies. Thanks for taking such care of us :)
