Term+2+2012

Term 2 is going to be rather busy! Here's what we are up to.

Weeks 1 & 2 are full of swimming. We will be away from 11.15 till 1.20 every day. If you would like to come and see us in action, you are more than welcome.

Week 3 is going to be leading up to camp.

Week 4 - only one thing on our minds. CAMP!!!!

Week 5 - camp recovery

Weeks 6 - 10 will be making the most of our time in class.

This term we are going to reading Finding Father as our novel study. This book is focusing on Dunedin in 1862. We will be looking at the history of this area and comparing/contrasting with life today. Writing is going to be our own journals. Please make sure your student has a journal/notebook to write in. Notebook size and up is suitable. A5 is a perfect size. Maths will be focusing on numeracy skills. We will be working in different classes so we can all work to our own levels. Our inquiry focus for the term is change. We are going to be looking at changes in science. Our Te Reo Maori focus is mihimihi. We will be making our own visual mihimihis.
