Class News
A warm welcome back from me, Mrs Tjitske (Chitska) Linthorne and 3TL's wonderful teacher aide, Mrs Karen Jeske.  We hope you and your family had a peaceful and rewarding holiday break.

Learning opportunities for Term 2 have been planned to ensure that your child continues on their quest for new knowledge in a secure and supportive environment.  I believe it is important that each student feels respected and valued as they collaboratively contribute to the learning process. This term we will:

*  continue to develop our self-confidence

*  take risks with our learning (tackle tasks without unnecessary doubt)

*  be persistent

*  be proud of who we are

*  try our best

*  keep our classroom and desks tidy

*  use our best manners at all times

*  be kind and caring to all those we meet

Please remember to check this webpage regularly as it will be updated on a weekly basis with our class news, important information, date claimers and details of the curriculum. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to come and see me before or after school or email me on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We would love your help!
We will be doing many fun things this term which we would love for you to come and help. The first is our Reading to an Adult session where helpers will read with students on a one-to-one basis. These sessions will be held on a Monday and Thursday afternoon from 2:30-3:00pm and will begin in Week 2 of this term. If you would like to assist during these sessions, please place your name on the sign-up sheet outside our classroom during Week 1, come and see me or send me a quick email to let me know the date you would like to assist.

We will also run Literacy Groups on Mondays through to Thursdays from 8:50-9:20am. There is now a roster sign up sheet outside our classroom to volunteer to help during these times. Please feel free to sign up, come and see me or email me if you would like to help. Thank you to those lovely mums and dads who have already volunteerd. We appreciate your time and look forward to having you in our classroom!

3EH will be visiting the Library each Thursday this year. During this time they will learn important skills for accessing books and information. It will also be a time where the students are able to borrow books. Students will need to bring their red Communication Folder in order to borrow books.
