Welcome to Term Three

We have a whole lot of fun stuff in store for this term. Here are some of the highlights:

DRAMA
This term we have a professional drama teacher coming in every Wednesday morning to teach us about the performing arts. So far we have had one lesson and we all thought it was great. During that lesson we played heaps of fun drama games. Next week we will be starting to play different characters. Later on Mel (our drama teacher) will be picking some of our talented students to create and perform a play at the end of the term.

GYMNASTICS
As part of our P.E our class will be doing gymnastics every Monday and Friday. We will be using the beam for balancing, the mats for forward and backward rolls, the box (also known as the horse) for jumping onto or over and our mini trampolines for jumping on.

3 WAY CONFERENCES
This term we will be doing three-way conferences. This is when we show our parents what we have been doing at school and how well we are doing. At the moment we are preparing as hard as we can to get all our work together. The first ones start next week on Monday and go on for at least two weeks. For the people who are going next week we wish them luck.

STUDENT TEACHER
We will be having a student teacher coming in to help out Jay with us naughty kids. Her name is Mariah Miles and she will be joining us on the 3rd of August.

We all can’t wait for this term to end! Just joking, we really can’t wait for this term to kick off.
