Term 4: Week 8 Learning

Week 8 and only 2 weeks until the School Summer Holidays. The time has finally come for the Christmas Show and all the children are really excited. We hope to see you there. On Monday we will be having our dress rehearsal, then Christmas show on
Tuesday 5th December at 9:30 am 
and
Wednesday 6th December at 2 pm 
The show will only be about 30min long
(There are no tickets for this show, just a gold coin donation at the door if you would like to)

This week for Reading the children will be bringing home a poem each day. This is due to all the reading books needing to be back in. If you have any more at home, please sent them back to class. When reading the poems with your child focus on rhyming words, initial sounds, isolation sight words, grammar, punctuation and the titles.  All poems will be around Christmas.

For writing, we will be finishing off our letters to Santa. To follow on from this, Nicola and Baylee have organised a Video call to Santa next week. We will be working on constructing some questions we might want to ask Santa when we talk to him. We are super excited about this. 
With all this going on, we will also find some time to make a few Christmas Crafts.

Reminders: 
  • All Readers and Library Books need to come back to school
  • Christmas in the park at school on Monday from 6 to 7:30 pm. There will be music, our school band and a sausage sizzle

Term 4: Learning Week 7

This week we are really busy. We will be meeting each day this week with the year 1's to practice our Christmas Show, so we are all ready for you to come and watch up next week. Please remember to bring in your clothes if you have not by Wednesday. The shows will only be running on
Tuesday 5th December at 9:30 am
and 
Wednesday 6th December at 2 pm 
(There are no tickets for this show, just a gold coin donation at the door if you would like to)
Please practice the songs at home. 

Along with this, we are learning this song for our Poem this week. We will be performing this to our VLC on Friday, with B4. In this Poem, we will be talking about the rhyming words, the beet and relating it to our own wish list to Santa.

In Writing this week, we are going to be writing our letters to Santa. We are going to use the Poem/Song as a model for our Letters to Santa. As a class, we will unpack the way we need to lay out a letter and what we need to include in it.

This will be our last week of Keeping ourselves safe. We will be covering dealing with unwanted behaviour and touches, and what words we should say, secrets and tricks and what we should do, adults who can help and safety rules. Please get in touch if you have any questions about this or would like further information. 

Please remember on Monday 4th December (Next Week) is our Whangaparaoaoa Primary School Community Christmas Picnic from 6 to 7:30 pm (at school).
