Term 1, Week 4

Room 4 Newsletter:  Term 1, Week 4

Sunday 21st February, 2016

Thank you to those who attended the ‘Meet the teacher’ evening. It was great to get some good questions and feedback regarding the programmes in Room 4.

Important dates coming up:
*Monday 22nd February – morning. ICT (computer) time in Room 4 with Mrs Flannery.
*Thursday 25th and Friday 26th February – Mrs Ward and Mrs Eastwood in Dunedin for DRS Conference. Mrs Laidlaw will be teaching in Room 4.
*Saturday 5th March – Parish Family Mass at our Alexandra Church – starting with games at 5.30 pm, picnic at 6pm, and Mass at 7pm. Some Room 4 children will be presenting a small role play at this mass.
*Monday 14th March – School Athletics (afternoon)
*Monday 21st March – Anniversary Day – School closed.

Publishing:
Congratulations to those who have already typed up and emailed in their stories, or a part of their story. This is a great skill and will build keyboarding confidence very quickly. Please keep the stories coming in this week.

Milk:
There appears to be a little confusion over which students are getting milk each day. A reminder that only those whose names have been signed off (ie. whose forms have been returned to the office) can be given milk. If you wish for your child to have milk each day please return the form so they don’t miss out.

Spelling:
We have been working on the short ‘a’ sound. It sounds like the ‘a’ in ‘rat’ or ‘cat’ or saturated. There is a small homework spelling task to revise this on the hard copy of the newsletter.

Have a great week.
Regards, Markelle Ward J

Wow, we are at the end of the Term! I have loved teaching the children in Room 4 for the last two terms and I look forward to my last week...
