Term 3 2013

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Students, Wow! Term 3 already. A big thank you to Mrs Arnold for her work in room 5. The children did some wonderful narratives and wind power studies. This is shaping up to be a BIG term. We are beginning with poetry and creating a diorama of a cat lurking in the bushes. We have begun by painting the inside of our boxes to create the background... the children have done a wonderful job. Next we'll tackle making a cat and hanging stars. This is talent quest term. We will do a class item and I am encouraging the children to make up singing or dancing groups, recite dramatic poems or play musical instruments. We are also doing "Hamburger Homework." To encourage children to work independently they can earn ingredients each week towards creating a hamburger on the last day of term. Each child will earn ingredients, one each week, by completing homework. Week one, a serviette to wrap the burger in, week 2 is a bun, and so on. I'm really enjoying being back with such a hardworking, polite and happy group of children. :)
