Welcome back to Term 1. In Room 10, we will be learning about these areas during the Term.

Mathematics: We will be working on Addition & Subtraction as well as Measurement.

Topic Study: Weeks 1-11. Our focus will be on Sustainability: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.

Physical Education & Health: Learning the skills for “Striking and Fielding Games”.

Te Reo Maori: We will be learning simple action commands such as “e noho (sit); e tuu (stand); pakipaki (clap); whakarongo mai (listen to me); haere mai (come here); haere atu (go)”.

Visual Arts: we will be focussing on drawing and painting.

Last but not the least - Homework
Your child will bring his/her book bag home every day from Monday to Thursday every week. Inside the book bag he/she will have one of the followings to do:
- A book to read to/with you
- A spelling list to learn and write

Please make time to listen to, talk with and praise your child for bringing his/her work home. Before the book bag is returned to school the next day please sign on the folder so I can change the book for the next day.

Every Friday the book bag will be coming home with the poetry book. Your child will be able to share with you the poems we have been working on at school.

Thank you for your support from home.
