Welcome back to Term 4

We are off to a good start for this busy and short term. Everyone is very proud of the All Blacks and this Friday there is a school disco. Bring $5 and your dancing shoes and come along at 5pm to the school hall.

Our Social Inquiry topic this term is Child Labour. We will be learning that children all around the world have to do different amounts and kinds of work. Many children have to work full time to help their families and miss out on education and learning but there are ways to increase their options and break the child labour cycle. Check out the links on the sidebar. We will be having an art auction in Week 6 to raise money for The Green Gecko Project in Cambodia.

In reading we will be doing guided reading groups and readers theatre. We will be reading with expression, a clear voice and intonation. In writing we will be learning the skill of persuading someone that you are right. In maths we will be doing number revision and geometry. Make sure you wear suitable clothes for doing athletics and there will also be time to learn stitching and weaving skills. Phew! Get ready for a busy and fun term!
