Hello! Kia Ora!
It’s great to be back and it’s going to be another fabulous year.
As per last year Rooms 3 & 4 will be working co-operatively across the curriculum. This allows our children to work with different adults, engage in different relationships and work with their own learning style. Mr. Brown and I will be assisted this year with our amazing Class Teacher Aides – Mrs. Pauling, Mrs. Foote, Mrs. MacMillan and Mrs. Ramsay for some/all of our morning lessons.
Please remember sun hats are to be worn this term. All school uniform, shoes included should be named.
And so to what’s going to be happening in Term 1…..

Maths Focus – Number Knowledge, Number Strategies & Measurement

Year 3 Memory Verse
~ Term 1 ~
The Lord’s Prayer
‘ This is how you should pray:
“ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
