Notes and Reminders Term 3 Week 2

Welcome to Week 2! Please see a few notes and reminders as we head into another busy term!

Stationery

Please check you have all the stationery you need at school every day. Pencils, pens and glue sticks are all in short supply and a lot of time can be wasted searching and sharpening equipment instead of working. A note went home in the home learning books last week highlighting stationery that is needed for your child.

Maths Bricks

It has been great to see the improvement with the children's speed and accuracy of their basic facts over the last term. Class teachers will continue to test the children on their maths brick each week if they feel they are ready to move on to the next brick.

Tissues

Could you please send along a box of tissues for the children to use in class. We all seem to be running short of tissues through these winter months. Thank you.

Poetry Competition

This term we will be having our annual poetry competition. This week the children need to choose a poem that they will be working on learning by memory in class and practising at home. Our in class competitions will be early in week 5 with the Year 3 & 4 final on Friday the 25th of August. Parents are welcome to attend.

Christchurch School of Gymnastics lessons

All year 3 / 4 classes will have 2 gymnastics sessions this term. We will require parent help. All children will travel by bus. A notice will be sent home this week.

Clay

This term we will be creating Clay masterpieces as part of our Art Unit. We would love the help of a few parents this Wednesday to help us bag up the clay in preparation for the children to use in the coming weeks. If you have some time available, then we'd love to hear from you - come and see us!

Enjoy the week,

Jane, Trish, Fiona, Julie and Adela
