I have had a lovely break and have really enjoyed preparing some interesting activities for you for Term 3.

This term we are focusing on how things are 'Connected'.

I am happy to be back in the classroom ready to accompany you on the Term 3 learning journey....



What did you do in the holiday break?
I went to an interesting movie called Inside Out.

Did any of you manage to see the movie?
I really enjoyed the short movie called 'Lava' showing before Inside Out.

This term we will be starting our learning journey with scientific investigations as we learn all about the scientific process and fair testing. 
We will also be learning about reading and following instructions and procedural writing.
I hope you have been thinking about your science investigation during your break. 

For literacy this term we will be starting the Daily 5 journey. We will all be connected through Literacy Circles and various reading and writing activities. 

Congratulations to Maggie for her success in the recent Ashburton Writers Story writing competition.
A well deserved 2nd place -
