End of term newsletter

What a term it has been in Room Eleven. We have had so much fun and learned alot about ourselves and the other children in our class.
We know what is our best smart/intelligence and have had some really fun sessions working in different classes working on our best smart.
We have been having drama lessons with Mrs Sturge on a Wednesday afternoon. It has been really enjoyable learning some new drama games and strategies.We will be learning the recorder next term during the cultural swap time.
Today our 2 college teachers Miss Cvitanovich and Mr Beaman began a 2 week posting and they will be teaching the children about healthy eating and taking reading and writing sessions. We have really appreciated all their support and help this term. We wish them every success next term as they head to a new class.
It was wonderful to see everyone at the recent interviews. I really enjoyed catching up and setting some goals. Some children are working hard on these already.

Whats coming up?

Thursday 14 April
Botanical Gardens
On Thursday we will be visiting the Botanical Gardens to assist with the tasks in the garden. Everyone will need to wear suitable footwear and warm clothes. We will need 1 extra adult to walk with us and help with groups of children. If you are keen to help please let me know asap.

Friday 15 April
Cultural Lunch
On Friday we will be having a shared lunch. It would be wonderful if all children could bring some food from their culture. We have quite a few children with different dietary requirements so it would be appreciated if you could just write the ingredients in your food. If your child does have specific requirements please send along some food for your child. I understand that this comes at the end of a busy term but please support us and come and join the fun. We have children from at least 11 different cultures and over the next 2 weeks all children will be creating a poster about themselves. I would really appreciate if you could send along a family tree for them to add and maybe how you chose their name and what it means. We will starting our presentations at 12.00 if you are free. Everyone is very welcome.
