Overview of Term 1 week 1 2016

Hi All

I hope you all have had a lovely weekend. Last week it was all about settling the class into routines. 

I was impressed with them all on Tuesday as they really got into the morning routines. 

Here they are concentrating on their writing. The topic was the 'Pool' and they had previously shared with us all what they love to do in the water. 

For Fitness this week we used hoops. This week in fitness we will be concentrating on relays.

Each of the children had a chance to be the Leader and the other children followed. You can see Finn, Tom and Lucy has her back to us. 

 The children have loved using the I pads. Some remembered playing the maths app 'Hungry Fish'.
Last week I introduced them to 'Doodle Buddy and Pic Collage--both require their creativity. At times we worked with a buddy.

Jyla ash and Peter working together on Doodle Buddy. 

This week on Wednesday is Ash Wednesday the start of Lent. The school will be attending mass so the children need to come to school in their school uniform. No sports uniform will be needed that day. Also that day Mrs Liz Hooker my release teacher will begin teaching. This will happen every Wednesday. Some of you may already know Liz, she has two of her children at our school.


You would have seen in the school newsletter that we have "Classroom Meetings Thursday Feb 18th.  In this session I will explain the classroom routines to you and what we aim to teach your child this term particularly in Numeracy and Literacy.

This week I will start up the main responsibilities for Class Leader and Prayer Monitor. The children will all get a turn throughout the term. The names of the children starting this week will be up on the Whiteboard.

Kind regards,
Mary
