Week 2 Term 3

Week 2 already, and this is a fairly short term so we will need to get cracking!!!

The children settled really quickly into routines and it has been wonderful to see their growth academically. Most of the children have developed a sound work ethic and I will continue to foster this throughout the remainder of the year.  As I said before, our concept is 'Enterprise' and we have some exciting work around this for the children to do.  On Monday at 11:30 am, the children in my writing group will be making sushi. The purpose of this is to learn about 'Procedures' which will be our main learning area in writing.  It is also an opportunity for the children to be creative, work together and perhaps even solve some problems (sushi can be quite tricky to make!).  Would the children from my writing group please bring a gold coin donation to help pay for the ingredients. 

We have parent interviews this week, and this is a marvellous opportunity for parents to meet with me to discuss their child's progress. Please ensure you take this opportunity, and of course your child is encouraged to attend. Some parents have already done this. The school newsletter has details about how to make an appointment.  If you are unsure, please contact the office and they will do it for you. 

On Wednesday 25 August from 5:15pm- 6:15pm, the Junior Team will be holding a Maths Evening in rooms 16 and 17. We will share information about the stages in maths, how we teach the children and how you can support their learning at home.  More information about this will follow later. 

The Year 2 crew will be having  a couple of class trips this term and as usual we will need some parent help. As soon as venues are confirmed, we will give you more information. 

I hope you have a great week
