Term 2

Term 2

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome to term two. I hope you had a great break with your children and the children are coming back to school looking forward to another exciting term of learning. Please make sure the children have everything they need for school, pens, pencils, ruler, eraser, highlighter, pencil sharpener, glue stick. These items need to be named.

This term we are looking forward to learning about…

The Anzacs
Keeping Ourselves Safe
Trash to Fashion - creating fashion from recycled materials
The Solar System
Large ball skills and games
Folkdancing
Writing Narrative stories
Multiplication and division
Addition and subtraction
Statistics

As you can see we are in for another busy term. We are beginning the term with our study of Anzacs.

For Trash to fashion we will need a variety of recycled items such as clean milk bottles, cardboard, bottle tops, plastic bags, string, etc. The children will probably come up with some other great ideas over the next few weeks. Please could you start collecting these items and keeping them at home. I will let you know when we will be starting these creations.
The children will be holding a fashion show at the end of the term to showcase their designs.

Dates to remember:
Folkdancing Demonstration Thursday 30th June 1.30pm
Fashion Show for Trash to Fashion Thursday 7th July 1.30pm

I am looking forward to another term of fantastic learning with your children. Please feel free to contact me at any time.

Regards
