Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome back to school and a special hello to all our new faces in Room 2 this year. I’m sure that we will have a really wonderful learning time together. We currently have 12 year 2 and 11 year 3 children in the class.

Our major curriculum focuses this term will include: Number (Maths), Lynley Dodd (a Literature unit), Maungatautari (Social Studies and Science). Swimming (PE)-followed by swimming sports at the Event Centre on the evening of 28 February. We will also doing a variety of other topics and units throughout the term.

Our first class trip will be to the Waikato Museum on Thursday 14 February to participate in the “Lynley Dodd” education programme and exhibit.

In week 6 we will be travelling to Maungatautari with room 1 to study the flora and fauna.

Please keep these dates in mind as we are dependent on your generosity as drivers to make these excursions possible.

Our homework and class routines this term will include:

     School readers home on Monday to Thursday (no book bag, no book).

     Poem folders to go home Friday and come back Monday.

     Maths homework to go home Monday and be handed in Friday, we will be doing basic facts only for the next 4 weeks, see the attached sheet.
