Wow, another year is well under way. Week 4 already!
Welcome to Year 4, children of Room 18! We are going to have a fabulous year- I can't wait to get to know you all better and to see you learn lots of new and exciting things.
This term we are focussing on our school wide theme of Being a New Zealander. We are going to spend some time finding out about our country's amazing native birds as well as learning about some of the famous people, famous places and the cities of this beautiful country we live in. And later in the term, we will be going on a trip to somewhere I am sure you will all love but I am not allowed to tell you about that, yet!
A big change for you guys this year is going to be homework. Homework is given out on a Monday with your spelling words and you have until Friday to complete it and hand it in. Then I can mark it over the weekend to get it back to you and ready for more homework the following Monday. We will have a spelling test on Fridays, too and there will be prizes at the end of the term for the boys and girls who have learnt the most words.
I look forward to seeing you all next week with you parents, if they have the time, when we have Meet the Teacher Night on Thursday.
