It is wonderful to see everyone back and recovered from that terrible flu. Yesterday we finished up everything that we were supposed to do last term, like completing the alphabet and adding to our portfolios. Thank you so much to Susan and Rowena and Chris who took my class for the last week and made our concert performance possible and doing the clean up!
Welcome to Casey who is joining us this term.
We have already discussed what we want to study this term: We want to create an art display of our work and then invite you all to have breakfast with the artists. There has been a request to study our bodies. Learn some dancing (any volunteers?) like the waltz. We plan to go to the sculptures by the sea which is very soon so we will get back to you on a date. For PE we are booking two surfing sessions. On each Tuesday we are offering swimming and basketball.
Yesterday we looked at our reading folders and everyone now has a new one, it would be wonderful if they could read everyday and return the folders each morning. The folders go in the container at the door and after tidy up we change the readers. I am emphasising that they are the one learning to read so they need to be responsible for returning the folders and changing the reader and talking to me about what level they are on. This week we are starting some reading and spelling of sight words so a small list will come home to practise too. This is just practise and very relaxed.
Remember if you are interested in doing the Conflict Resolution course it is not too late, talk to me or Chris or Wendy. Do you know that to do this course anywhere else you would be paying up to $1200 and we are charging $350!
Take Care
