Monday 24 July
Dear Parents/Caregivers of Room 11 Students,
Welcome back to another
exciting term, I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable break.
This letter is just to let
you know a little about what will be happening in Term Three.
Our topic this term is ‘Shakespeare
Rocks’ this will link into our production and will look at the life of William
Shakespeare, history, reading and analyzing some of his poetry and plays,
dance, drama, music and may other aspects that link into the curriculum.
Hopefully students made a
start on the tasks set for holiday homework.
The three tasks were:
Speeches-
These will be finished in class and as a continued homework task. They will then
be presented to the class in week 3.
Shakespeare
Rocks posters-These will be judged early Term 3 so they can be used for the
promotion of the production.
Cantamath- The motif and exhibition pieces are also due early in
Term 3.
Literacy this term we will
focus on Speeches, Narrative writing, plays and scripts.
Mathematics will focus on
Geometry and Measurement.
Weekly winter sports will
begin on the Friday of Week 2 because in Week 1 (Thursday 27 July) is the Zone
Winter Tournament ( more information to follow).
Homework will start today
and will be the same as last term with 10 spelling words, completing an
electronic reading log and finishing work.
Please check that your child
still has all stationery needed in Room 11 including a red pen, ruler, pencils,
eraser, compass and protractor, etc. Can you also please check that Chromebooks
are being fully charged each night.
All dates and times of events
and activities this term will follow in the School Newsletter and separate
notes including more information about Cantamath in Week 5, production Week 7 the Senior Syndicate Ski trip in Week 8.
I hope this answers some of
your questions. If you have any other queries please feel free to contact me at
school for an appointment or e-mail at ryan.mcinnes@christtheking.school.nz
