Week 8 Term 1 2022

 It’s great to see the engagement spikes on educa and blogs when our posts go up. Thanks for the comments, too - the kids get a real kick out of knowing that people are checking out our work.

Congratulations to Ian and Arianne who won our Values Awards last week. Ian and Arianne have both shown Excellence through hard work and perseverance during the whole term. Excellence isn’t about being the best, it's about doing our best. Excellence is having another go when we’ve gone wrong, being honest about our mistakes and learning from them.  We’ll be on the lookout for more people showing Excellence at school this week.

C.(Courage) R.(Respect) E.(Excellence)W.(???)

Hmmmm, I wonder what we might be looking for next week?

Mini Covid Update

We have air purifiers on the way BUT they’re not here yet so we need to keep our doors and windows open for air flow (MoE guidelines).  I’ve been looking at the weather out there and I strongly recommend bringing a school jersey this week. Please, make sure that they are well named. 

This Weeks Learning

Literacy: Narrative writing - we are going to have a real focus on sentence structure. We will be searching for, and using, connecting words like ‘so’ ‘because’ ‘also’ ‘so that’... and make sure that our sentences start in different ways (we’re going to attempt to banish ‘and then’ as a starter - wish us luck).

Numeracy: We are continuing to build our knowledge of place value. We will also look at how we can collect, sort, display and analyse information (statistics). We are stepping it up a little every week. This week we are going to use money for Place Value learning.

Religious Education: WALHT recognise how we are feeling and how to deal with these emotions. We are going to look at some bible stories and figure out what zone Jesus was in and how he managed his emotions. Sometimes things are unfair and we are going to learn ways to behave and act to show compassion and courage - even when we don’t want to. We will also learn a bit about the Annunciation - if you know the first half of the Hail Mary, you already know how the story goes.
