Newsletter for Term 4

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

I hope you had a great holiday. I can't believe it is Term 4 already; Christmas will be here before we know it!

We are excited to have Miss Mead back with us, and I can't wait to hear where she took Mr Moose in the holidays.

This term our topic is: We are who we are. It is all about us, our family, belonging to a community, cultures, diversity and belonging to different groups. Room 14 will be putting together a flipchart on the Mimio as we explore each area and document who we are and where we come from. We have completed our topic wall to celebrate who we are – please feel free pop in and check it out.

We will be having swimming this term, but not for a couple of weeks. The pool has been fixed and it's now in the process of being cleaned and re-filled. When the timetable comes out I will let parents know what day and time our swimming session is.

In Visual Arts this term we will be exploring and making different types of puppets. Room 14 will be making puppets to represent who is in our family. We will be collecting different materials. Please have a look at the separate list your child will bring home of the items we are collecting. If you could please send in the items with your child that would be much appreciated.

In Maths this term we are continuing to work on number strategies in addition and subtraction. We are also learning about statistics; how to collect data and display it on a tally chart, display the data on a graph and then write statements from the information collected. Last week, we looked at our favourite colours and animals. 

If you have any questions or queries please don't hesitate to ask and remember to check the blog for regular updates:
