Term Three
The year is speeding by and Term Three is already upon us to those of you busy with calving I hope things go smoothly and the mild weather continues. Term Three sees a time of exciting change for Kuranui School with the arrival of Mrs Hastings as principal. Room One will be privileged to have Mrs Hastings teach one block per day in our classroom for the first half of the term. I know the children will all make her feel very welcome and show her their multitude of talents. During the term one of our reading focuses is determining the authors purpose and showing how we work this out. Later in the term our whole school is holding a Reading Fair to demonstrate our growing understanding of the authors purposes and showcase a combination of reading, writing and oral skills. Each child will create a display about their favourite book and present a short persuasive speech convincing an audience of how wonderful the book is. Our General Knowledge quizzes worked well and provided some interesting discussions so will continue again this term.
