Term 1 Week 3

Perceptual Motor Programme (PMP)

PMP is a movement-based program which helps younger students improve their eye/hand and eye/foot coordination, fitness, balance, locomotion and eye-tracking skills.

We would like to thank our wonderful parents and teacher aids, Toki and Sarah who helped us with our PMP session. The year 2 team (Rimu Nui) will be having PMP every Wednesday morning in our school hall. Room 12's PMP session will be at 10:20 am, if you are able to help please let me know.

Puzzles

A group of students in the class like doing a variety of puzzles and feel really proud of themselves when they finish it. The most complicated part was that 5-6 puzzles were all mixed up but the students were persistent in sorting them.

A Fluffy visitor comes to Room 12

We had a fluffy visitor for our writing experience and guess who it was? ...

Marliee (Mrs Bhatia's dog).

We were very excited to see him.

Marliee came to visit our school. He jumped on Mrs Bhatia. He wagged his tail. He is clever and cute. Acelynn

Yesterday we saw Marliee. He is so fluffy and soft. I liked him. Bethany

I patted Marliee. He is soft and fluffy. Jaxon

Message for parents:

A note has been sent home about sharing class news. A day has been allocated for each child to share.

Oral language skills - speaking, listening and asking questions - are important skills for all children.  Sharing time is a good opportunity for children to practise these skills with something they are enthusiastic about.

Please help them choose something they can talk about.  It could be:

• a favourite book
• a nature find
• something they have made
• something they find interesting
• a favourite song
• something about our learning topic
• a maths problem
• a piece of writing

Please note: we do not want children to bring toys to share.
