Lamb visit

Last week we had a visit from Kiran's 4 lambs.  We were all very excited to see them and they were very good, apart from a little accident!

Welcome also to the new children in our syndicate.


 
Eco Explorers
This term our big idea is caring for ourselves and our environment.  
This will include an exciting trip to Sumner Beach. 
The children will investigate objects found on the beach and identify various
ways we can all help to care for our coastal areas.


You will have received a permission slip and parent help form in regards to this trip. 
Please can you complete these and return to your child’s home room teacher asap.



In Mathematics, along with Numeracy our strand focus is Measurement.  
We will be learning about capacity, length and area.           




In Physical Education we will continue with our usual
fitness programme and we will also focus on specific skills for 
our Athletics Sports.  More information about this 
later in the term.




It is compulsory for children to wear a uniform hat at school this term.  
Please ensure your child has a clearly named hat every day.  If you would 
like to personalise your child’s hat to make it easier for them to identify that
would be great. If your child is not wearing a hat, they will not be allowed to
play in the playground. 

If your child is scheduled to have a reporting conference this term you will
receive a letter outlining the time and booking details.  Keep an eye out for
this in the next couple of weeks.
