Puppet Show on 21st November

Dear parents and caregivers,

The over-arching theme for Ara Teina students this year is ‘Green,’ in which we have covered several aspects of living sustainability. During Term 4 we continue the theme with a focus on looking at how different ethnicities sustain their culture and identity in their everyday lives. One way in which the children are exploring this is by creating puppets, and performing personalised puppet shows based on their own family cultures. Puppets are used universally by both children and adults to tell stories, to entertain and to convey messages. Ara Teina teachers hope that by giving children opportunities to explore their own identity through the medium of puppetry, it will help foster an appreciation for their own culture as well as that of others.

To support our learning we will be having Christine Fuller from ‘Hands Alive Puppet Theatre’ visit us on Friday 21 November to put on two puppet shows, one for the Year 0-1 students and another for the Year 2 children. She will be using a variety puppets to bring some well-known stories to life. We are excited to give Ara Teina children the opportunity to see a puppeteer in action. We hope that the show will be inspirational.

The cost for the show is:

·         $2.50 for non-Loyalty Card holders

·         $2 for those who have a Loyalty Card.

Payment can be made directly to your child’s teacher(s). Loyalty Card holders, please include your Loyalty Card number with your payment.

If you have queries, please talk to your child’s classroom teacher(s).

Welcome to Term 4

It's definitely been a good break for all the children in Room 13 as they have come back refreshed and eager to learn.

 Our Inquiry Learning topic for this term is "We are who we are". We will be looking at what it is to be a part of a community and you will find out more as we go along.

We have been looking at the differences between needs and wants. We have come up extremely interesting definitions of needs and wants. Then we further dissected our ideas to fine tune needs to "what is absolutely necessary for us to live".
