Welcome to Room 19 2016

Welcome back for another exciting year in Room 19.


Our topic for this Term is Ancient Civilizations Room 19 will be diving deep into studying some very significant Civilizations. We are also looking at getting to know our peers in Room 19 and making new friends as well as getting to know ourselves and where we came from.

Maths:
Our focus for this term is Algebra and Number. We will first be looking at Algebra with creating and continuing patterns as well as finding the rules to patterns using addition and subtraction.
We will then start our focus with number and using basic addition strategies as well as essential basic facts.

Reading:

In Room 19 we read one new book a week rather than each session so that your child is able to work on their understanding of the text more and the skills required while reading. If you wish for your child to bring home more books to read then they are able to pick one from the browsing box and also bring home library books. We strongly encourage reading at home as well as school

Homework:
Homework is given weekly in Room 19 starting Week 3. It is very basic and is encouraged to practice skills learned in class. It will involve reading every night, spelling words and basic maths.


This Term we are having a meet the teacher evening to give everyone an opportunity to come down and meet their new teacher as well as other members of the Middle Team. It will be a sausage sizzle and you are welcome to bring your own refreshments. This is this Friday evening, 12February free from 5.30 to 6.30pm. We will meet on the grass area outside of the Middle Team classes.
Please will you indicate to your child’s classroom teacher by Tuesday 9th Feb, the number of people who would be coming for catering purposes.
