Room 19 - Mrs Paula Brinsden (Year 7 & 8 Team Leader)
Welcome to the Room 19 class page for 2012. I'm Paula Brinsden (nee Weedon),
the teacher for Room 19 and the syndicate leader in the Year 7/8 area of the
school.
Overview for Term One
*
We have the privilege of using the school pool every day in the
morning to further develop our swimming and survival skills
that are in line with the State Swimsafe Programme. Our training sessions
will lead towards our syndicate swimming sports on Tuesday the 13th
March.
* Problem Solving and Basic Facts practice will
begin our math units for the first three weeks of this year. We will then
move into Numeracy: Addition and Subtraction for the rest of
the term. For this we will be streaming across the syndicate.
* Report writing will also be a focus for this term.
This will involve writing reports about our findings from our Integrated
Unit called
‘The Way we were, The Way we are and The Way we could be.
Our context for this study will be looking at schooling and Te Rapa Primary
School in the past, present and future.
* Recount writing will help us keep a record of some
of our personal experiences as well as the exciting events this term such as
swimming sports.
* Our Reading programme will be further developing comprehension
strategies. This term we are looking at Self-Monitoring and
Summarising.
* Students will also be attending St. Andrews Middle School every
Thursday from 8.30 – 11.30 as part of their Technicraft
programme.
We look forward to sharing our learning, achievements and
experiences with everyone.
