TERM 2

A brief overview of Term 2:

1.  Our value this term is "Compassion" and our well-being focus will be "Give".

2. Writing - we will be doing "poetry" and "moment in time".

3. Reading - Some groups will be reading chapter books in class with a focus on "understanding" the text.  These books will stay at school so that they are always available.  Other groups will continue to bring reading books home each night to practise reading fluently with expression.

4.  Cross country training will start halfway through this term.

5.  We will be visited by Hockey Coaches during this term who will teach us how to play this exciting winter sport.

8.  Our major topic for the first part of the term will be "Countries around the world".
