Basecamp Newsletter
Week 7 Term 1
This week our topic focus will change to 'My Magic
Body'. We will be learning all about our body, its
functions, and why it is so special. On Thursday
afternoons we will be having a team interchange and
the children will visit a different class each week, to
learn about a different part of their body. Ask your
child what they have learnt. This is also a good way to
get to know different teachers in our team.

is the letter

Our key focus this week is 'Sharing'. We will be focusing on asking for
a turn, strategies for joining in an activity, turn taking and knowing
what to do if conflict arises!
This week our word of the week is: up. Please help your child to
practise reading their word cards that they keep in their reading
folder. Thanks!
* Welcome to Harry Hawkes who starts school this week.
* Welcome to Maggie Ardagh, Emilie Costa and Lucia Brown
who will be visiting Basecamp this week.
This week's Wednesday oral language topic is:
* Tell us what you like about school. Please practise this at home
first.
* Remember to practise writing your letters in your homework book
each night. We ask that the children do one line of writing each
night. Don't forget to bring along something starting with Ss on
Tuesday.
* On Wednesday we will be having a working bee in Basecamp, 911am (it will be held down Miss Scotland's end). The purpose of the
working bee is to make up a selection of new maths games for
classroom use. If you have a little spare time and are happy to do
some simple cutting and laminating, please come along! There will
be coffee and plenty of people to chat to. Even if you can donate
half an hour, we would be very grateful. Please email Jane Scotland
if you are able to help - jane@mtpleasant.school.nz. Thanks!
