Welcome to the new term. Phew, I don’t know where Term 1 went to.  Some of the areas we will be covering this term include:

· Addition and subtraction · Writing instructions · Reading for meaning <span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Kristen ITC'; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Kristen ITC'; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings; msoasciifontfamily: 'Kristen ITC'; msobidifontfamily: Aharoni; msochartype: symbol; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastlanguage: EN-NZ; msohansifontfamily: 'Kristen ITC'; msosymbolfontfamily: Wingdings;">¬ · Dance · Invasion games · Training for the cross country <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msofareastlanguage: EN-NZ; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-family: 'Kristen ITC'; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">ANZAC

<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">Teaching reading in Room 3 is exciting because a lot of the children are transitioning from learning to read (when your child takes home a new book every night) to reading to learn (when your child may have the same book/story for the whole week). This is great time where you can use books (from home), newspapers, magazines, and the internet from home/the school library/the town library to: READ WITH YOUR CHILD HAVE YOUR CHILD READ BY THEMSELVES __//**

**__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">REMEMBER READING IS FUN. __**

<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;"> Our overall class goal continues to be **//__SELF MANAGING LEARNERS__//** but this term we are going to add the word **//__DETERMINED__//**. We are going to investigate what determined means, in a positive sense, and how we can use determination to help/support our learning outcomes and personal behaviours.

<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">Mrs Lewis is transferring her time with Room 3 from Monday mornings to Friday mornings and will be responsible for The Arts and Discovery time. Thanks Mrs Lewis.

<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Aharoni; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">Here is a gentle reminder that we expect children to wear appropriate footwear to school. Black lace up, strap or sneaker type shoes go well with our uniform for the next two terms.
