Room 4 - Miss Karen Wymer (Yr 1-2 Team Leader)
 

Welcome to Room 4 for Term 1, 2012!  We hope everyone has had a safe and enjoyable holiday break.

Our integrated topic for this term is “Me” with a focus on me, my family, my class and my school.  We will be talking about what is special about us all, what makes us all different and why and where we have rules.  We will be creating some self-portraits.

In maths we will be working on counting forwards and backwards, before and after umbers, identifying, writing and ordering numbers to 10 and then to 20.  We will be working on adding and subtracting numbers either using objects or doing it in our heads.  In Statistics we will be gathering information and making graphs to show what we found out.

We will be making sure that we know all our letter sounds and that we can use these sounds in our reading and writing.

Each week we will be visiting the library and our digital media centre (DMC).  We will be learning how a library works and how to put books away correctly as well as enjoying reading some of our lovely books.  In the DMC we will be learning to log on and off and save our work to the right place.  We will be creating pictures in Paint and learning to use Word.  Everyone will become an expert at using the digital camera.

Our P.E. focus is swimming.  We have a fantastic pool to learn new skills and to practice in.  For fitness we will be working on the fundamental skills of skipping, hopping, jumping, galloping and running. 

Later in the term we will be holding our Junior Swimming Display so our parents can see some of the things we are doing in the pool.  We may also have a picnic by the river towards the end of the term.

We are looking forward to a fun and exciting term ahead!!
