Term 3 Newsletter
Hello everyone,
Welcome back! I can't believe we are into the 3rd term already. We've had a great two terms so far, and there are many more exciting things planned for this one.
New Student
We are very lucky to have Fynn joining us in Room 14.
Fynn has some medical issues including severe alergies to some common fruits and nuts - please remember that our school has a 'no nut' policy and it would be great if you could remind your child that we do not share food at school.
I would also like to mention that Paul Norton will be teaching in Room 14 every Monday afternoon as this is my Classroom Release Time. He will also teach every second Monday from 11:00 - 12:30 as I am the Junior Literacy Leader and require this time to work on Literacy initiatives.
Student Teacher
In week 5 we will be having a second year student teacher form the University coming to spend 3 weeks in our classroom.
Slippers
The children are welcome to keep their slippers at school, (or thick socks if they don't have slippers), this term to make sure they aren't traipsing dirt or mud into the classroom after playing outside in puddles and the muddy ground. There is a box available for them to put their slippers in.
Topic
This term we are focusing on Science – Planet Earth and Beyond and The Arts – Music and Dance. We are looking into seasons and seasonal changes and how they affect the environment. In weeks 8 & 9 we will be having an Arts Fortnight with a whole lot of wonderful and exciting things to do with all of The Arts going on.
More information to come!
Maths
For the next few weeks we will be looking at multiplication and division. At this level this covers grouping and skip counting. We will initially learn 1x, 2x, 5x, and 10x tables. We will use repeated addition as an additional strategy to skip counting.
Literacy
For writing the children will be focusing on Narratives. They will be learning how to write interesting stories concentrating on plot, setting, characters, creating a problem and solving the problem. They will be learning how to make sure that their writing is interesting enough for others to want to read it by giving details, beginning to use similies and using interesting adjectives as well as continuing to use basic punctuation like capital letters and full stops and learning to use more difficult punctuation like speech marks, exclamation marks and apostrophe’s.
Later on in the term we will also look at how to write an invitation that will include a purpose, date, time, etc - these will be used later in a real life context in week 10.
They will continue to focus on initial blends for handwriting and in their poetry, and for oral language they will be focusing on presenting their Mihi’s. Preparing them for their student led conferences later this term.
Reading books will go home Monday - Thursday nights.
Events to calendar
Week 4 Thursday 12th August - PTA Quiz night
Week 5 Wednesday 18th August - School Photos
- Chch Schools’ Music Festival Area Rehearsal in morning, Anne Talaska will be relieving in Room 13 while I go with the senior Choir to this.
Weeks 8 & 9 - Arts fortnight – more info to come closer to date
Week 10 Wednesday 22nd & Thursday 23rd September – Student Led Conferences
Please remember that each Wednesday morning is 'Drop your child at the door day' as the children continue to become independent and take responsibility for themselves - we have had great support from parents so far, let's keep it up!
Well that’s enough info for now. I will keep you informed if anything else comes up.
Here’s to another great term together.
Megan Graham.

Friday 11 September 2009
Dear parents/caregivers,
Room 14 has been learning about keeping warm.
Next week we are going to do a science experiment to find out which materials will keep hot water hot for the longest. We are collecting fleece, small items of clothing (socks etc) tin foil, bubble wrap, and other items that we think might keep the water hot.
We need your help with collecting the materials we will need.
If you have some of these items lying around at home, could we have them to take to school before Tuesday.
Thank you for your help.
Yours sincerely,
Room 14.

Reflection Week 7
This week in team 14 we have been ...
Learning our 3, 4, and 6 times tables.
We have learnt to use 2 strategies to help us - skip counting and repeat addition.
Learning about characters and how to write descriptions for them. We know that a good description is made up of information including name, what they look like, where they live, what they like or dis-like, any sports they play, any hobbies or pets they have, and the personality of the character.
Learning about science by growing beans from bean seeds with Mrs N.
Next week we will be doing some science experiements with Miss Graham - we will be looking at how things keep warm.
We have enjoyed using the pods of laptops to explore our blog.
Have a good weekend,
From Team 14

The children from village 22 are our big buddies. They come to see us regularly and last Thursday when they came to visit they shared some games they had made with us.
The games were planned and made by our buddies. They were made to help teach us numbers, colours and phrases in Maori.
We had great fun playing the games - thanks village 22!

Ideas for reading at home
Here is a presentation from our recent Parent Talk Time "Reading at home with early readers", led by Jennifer Doak and Sandra Howat:

Welcome to Term 3
Thank you and welcome...
Wow, I can't believe that the year is already half way through. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support through the year. The children of Team 14 are fantastic, and I am very lucky to be working with such a responsive group of learners. I would also like to welcome Hannah Thomson and her family to Team 14. They have shifted to Christchurch from Sydney over the holiday break.
Energise Me ...
Term 3 will continue with an inquiry called 'Energise Me'. We will be using this umbrella idea to think about;our basic needs, keeping healthy, having balance in your life, eating and exercise, the human body, keeping warm, respecting ourselves and others and being ready to learn. Thank you to those of you that have sent in resources to support these ideas. If you have ideas or resource people we can access please let me know.
Literacy and Numeracy...
Our literacy focus will be based around transactional texts this term. This means writing recipes, instructions and more factual forms of writing. In Numeracy we will begin to look at the ideas of multiplication and division. However at the Stage 3 - 5 level that means ensuring the children have a good understanding of grouping sets, repeated addition and skip counting. This will form the foundations that they need to understand the concepts of multiplication and division. We will continue to work on developing fast recall of addition and subtraction facts as well.
Arts and PE...
Our PE focus will move to large ball skills at the beginning of the term and then by the end of the term we will start to think about athletics as summer is around the corner. We will continue with an arts rotation on Wednesday afternoons. The children will spend two weeks exploring dance, drama and visual arts through the lens of the 'Energise Me' study. The Junior are mixed into 3 large groups and will work with pairs of teachers for two weeks on each discipline.
Around the middle of the term the children will be sharing their learning with you in our Student Led Conference Sessions.
Trips and Visits...
We have 3 trips planned for this term and will need some parent help on each of these visits. In Week 2 we head to the Ngaio Marsh Theatre to watch the senior school's Wearable Arts Extravaganza. In Week 6 we are going to the museum to work with educators and experience the human body exhibit. We will be using private cars for this visit. In Week 8 we will be going to the Town Hall to see the NZ Army Band!
We hope you all had a wonderful and restful break and were able to keep the bugs at bay. People seem to be very cautious and are keeping low if family members are showing symptoms of sickness. This is probably quite wise.
On that note - if you could spare a box of tissues please send them to school with your child as we have finished our last box.
Looking forward to a fun-filled, busy term with you all.
Kind Regards
Megan

Hi
I'm Mason' mum - Miranda. I'm really interested in ICT as I am the ICT PD Project Director for three boys' schools in Christchurch - Christchurch Boys High School, St Bede's College and Shirley Boys High School. Mason loves using computers - he is often blogging at home or watching U-Tube with his brother Carter. I think if used effectively ICT can improve boys' literacy for example blogging helps students develop digital literacy.

The Terrible Tiger
Today in reading Fin, Mason and Ben read the book "The Terrible Tiger".
We read the book together and then talked about the beginning, the middle and the end of the story.
Ben, Fin and Mason decided the beginning of the story is about finding the tiger.
The middle of the story is seeing a monkey, seeing a bird and then seeing a snake that is the terrible tiger. At the end the children run home and tell Mum they aren't scared of anything.
Then Fin, Ben and Mason took photos showing them acting out the beginning, middle and end of the story, "The Terrible Tiger".

Butterfly release!
After much discussion we decided it was best to release our butterfly so that it could lay some eggs on a leaf and keep the butterfly life-cycle going.
Butterfly Magic!
At the beginning of this term we were looking at Butterflies as part of our science learning.
Olivia and Ben W brought in caterpillars and a chrysalis for us to look at.
We got to see the caterpillar munch and crunch all of the leaves on the swan plant - it was a very hungry caterpillar!
We watched closely as the chrysalis turned from green to black.
One morning we noticed the chrysalis was empty - what came out of it... a butterfly of course!
Buddy Class
Every Tuesday afternoon Room 14 visit or are visited by Village 22.
Village 22 is our buddy class for this year. We have enjoyed meeting our Y5 buddies and being able to share our learning with them. We have been reading stories to them and talking to them about our Hero learning.
Last week village 22 came for a visit to our classroom. They sang us a song and read picture books to us - it was awesome!
