Week 9 Notices

It is week 9 already!  

Things you need to know for the upcoming week:

Reading:

The children will have the same reader for two days, this is to give the children the opportunity to read with fluency and to practise the strategies they are learning with the teacher.  You can help your child at reading each day with your child.

Maths:

We are learning about shape.  Encourage your child to name shapes and describe what they look like: 

• How many sides? 
• How many corners?
• Are the sides straight or curved?

Writing:

We are going to be looking at what happens on a farm and the food that farms provide for us.  You could ask your child at home about what they know about NZ farms and our food production.  

The children have been motivated over the past week to write on their own.  We have had many letters written to the fairies.  It is great to see the children engaging in writing independently and seeing themselves as authors.

Other Bits and Bobs:

• Uniform - all children need to be in correct winter uniform.  Please make sure your child has the right winter socks.
• Library - our library day is Friday, the children need to return their library books if they want to issue new books.  Please make sure books are returned to school by Friday.
• Sausage Sizzle - this is run every Friday, your child can purchase a sausage for $1.50 or a Juicies for $1.50.
• All drinking fountains are out of action - please make sure your child has a water bottle (filled with only water, they do not need flavoured milk or juice at school)

Keep an eye on Educa over the next week or two to see what your child has been doing in class and remember to leave a comment to celebrate your child's learning.

Have a great week,

Sara
