Fire Drill

This morning we had a fire drill at school. We had to practice walking and sitting quietly. The first time we did it Mrs Bruce asked us to do it again! The second time we scrambled quickly and quietly down to the fold. Mrs Bruce gave us a gold star for doing the fire drill really well!

Check out the gorgeous children in Room 11!

Term 1 Learning

Our school wide concept this year is: 'Curious Critical Thinkers'

This term we will be exploring :
- how the brain works
- how we can be successful learners
- knowing our place in the classroom and being able to discuss our learning

Writing:
In writing we will be focusing on powerful verbs and adjectives. These skills are reinforced through our personal recounts and cameo writing. IWe will explore how to plan, write and edit quality pieces of writing. We can't wait to share with you!

Mathematics:
Statistics (Weeks 1-2)
Number: addition and subtraction, number knowledge (Weeks 3-8)
Geometry (Weeks 9-10)

P.E.:
This term we have a gymnastics programme called moveMprove. We thoroughly enjoyed our first session! The 'Kids Rich in Character' focus for term 1 and 2 is 'Self-Control'.
