Welcome Back!

Can you believe it's Term 3 already? We have such a busy term ahead of us. Our Inquiry **Big Question** this term is **'How have past civilizations influenced my present and my future?'** We will be learning about the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks, and loads more, the options are endless!!

For writing we will be focusing on descriptive writing, perspective writing and narrative writing. For reading we will be learning how to summarize texts, and you'll be making a really cool book bag - more about that later!
 * Literacy**

We are going to continue with Fractions, Decimals and Percentages because we really didn't get through the work we needed to last term. In the second half of the term we will be learning about Geometry.
 * Numeracy**

We have heaps of sport coming up this term. I hope to see all of you getting involved in some way or another. Cross Country is a major whole school event this term, and we will be training for this event over the next few weeks. We are starting a competition called Club 100, where the aim is to complete 100 laps of our school field over the weeks leading up to the race.
 * Sport**


 * 3 July** - Happy Holidays Everyone!! I am in the process of marking your reading logs on your wiki pages, so if you haven't added yours yet please do so as soon as possible. I am a little surprised and disappointed at the lack of detail in some of your reading logs so far :(

Please take the time to read you feedback, and if you need to make changes and have some time, please do so! :)

Enjoy your break Whaea Sarah
