Term 4, Week 6

Here it is, Room 3, the second half of Term 4, and we’ll be jumping right in with our Athletics Day THIS Tuesday (19 November). Come along and watch us run, jump and throw! 

That won’t be our only fitness for the week, however – we also begin to choreograph and practise our dance routine ready for the end of year show (exciting!!).

As well as keeping ourselves physically active we’ll be working hard to finish off our tuatara masks, and we’ll push on with making our twitchy tuatara tails. 

In maths we’ll be tuning up our basic facts – the solid foundation for easy addition and subtraction, together with our forwards and backwards counting (keep up the practice!). 

We’ll have new spelling lists to work on in class (it’s fantastic to see such rich, topical vocabulary appearing in our story writing too!), and we’ll be sorting out some comprehension skills in reading.  

We welcome Mrs Clare Corcoran to Room 3 on Wednesday as Miss Driver will be working with small groups of children on assessment tasks.

Reminders:

- Athletics Day is THIS Tuesday, 19 November. You are very welcome to come along to watch our sprints and field sports! Junior sprints begin at 11.40am, Field sports at 1.30pm :)

- We’d love further donations of egg cartons – we need a lot of spines! – and elastic (any thickness and colour is fine) for our tuatara costumes :)

- The Home and School family picnic is coming up on the evening of Friday 29 November :)
