Week 6 Class Newsletter

Term 3: Week 6                                   29.8.14

Dear Parents and Caregivers

We welcomed Agustin to our class this week, and had a busy week hosting a group of children from Sunbeam Kindy as well as many children on their pre-entry visits. Our class is nearly full now, with Archer and Harrison completing the team when they join us in Week 8, bringing our total to 17 children. Room 10 opens this coming week.

The children are making great progress in the mastery of their High Frequency Sight Words. Please let me know when you think your child can instantly identify each word in the set, at which point I will test them and send home cards for the next level. Remember spelling the words is an excellent extension activity as well.

For our Inquiry this week we continued exploring games children played at school in the past. We had lots of fun playing knucklebones, marbles, tiddly-winks and hopscotch. Check out the photos on our Room 3 blog.

Our Art focus today was the creation of a Kowhaiwhai panel, incorporating a koru design. We look forward to displaying our completed designs in the classroom.

Thank you so much for taking time to attend the School Entry Assessment meetings. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to spend time talking with children and their families. I will advise the families of the remaining children when their assessments have been completed and we will make a time to meet. This will most likely be during Weeks 8-10, depending on your child’s entry to school date.

Enjoy your weekend – Spring is definitely on the way!

Kind regards

Cara Wallace
