Term 2 Week 1 Newsletter
Welcome to Term 2 in Room 19. I hope you had a great holiday and are ready for the busy term ahead. Here is what we have coming up.
Literacy
We will be starting off our reading programme by looking at the books by Dr Seuss. We would love to see as many Dr Seuss books in the classroom as possible. If you have some at home that you are able to bring to school to share – please make sure they are named. Check out the link below or click on the Delicious link at the side of this page for more information, games and activities about Dr Seuss' books. Our writing this term be focused on instructions and narrative writing using imaginative settings, interesting characters and captivating plots. Dr Seuss will feature here too.

Maths
In maths we will be looking at measurement and numeracy. Numeracy will continue to be the main focus and measurement will be our Strand focus. In the first week we will be recapping on m, cm and mm and then moving onto volume, mass and temperature with Mrs Brown .
Inquiry Learning - Save The World
Our Inquiry learning for the first part of the term will be about developing a garden area to enrich our school environment. At the end of the term we will be beginning our next inquiry cycle around the Olympic Games.
The Arts
We will be continuing with the Year 3 & 4 choir for a couple of more weeks then moving onto an Arts Interchange programme. Mrs Brown has some great art ideas for you for Fridays which I can’t wait to see displayed in our classroom. These link to our environmental focus and will start with printmaking.
PE
I hope you have been getting in lots of exercise over the holidays because the School Cross Country Race is in Week 3! We will be doing daily training for this so make sure you wear good shoes for running in every day.
