Welcome back to Term 4


Hi Everyone

Welcome back to Term 4. I hope everyone had a lovely holiday - I have to say it was very nice to see the sun again! Term 4 is going to be hectic so hopefully everyone had a rest!

This Wednesday is Athletics Day so if you can come along to cheer on the children we'd love to see you there. Students, don't forget to wear appropriate shoes and to bring a drink bottle and a big lunch.  I have decided not to hand out homework this week as with such a short week there will not be much time to fit it in.

Our big focus for the first four weeks is the middle team production which this year has a native bird theme. Room 11 is in the process of creating a beautiful albatross dance. We are currently researching the albatross during reading groups and we will be creating masks to wear too. Week 4 is when the performances will take place.  Notices with details will be sent home soon.

After that the countdown until the end of the year will be on! In the meantime, we'll be exploring fractions, descriptive writing and a celebrations around the world topic. Our value for the term is gratitude and we will continue to meet with our kindle buddies regularly.

Don't hesitate to send me a message at catherine@georgestreet.school.nz or come in and see me before or after school at any time.
