The holidays are about to come to an end.  I hope you all have had a great time and kept free from all the bugs that have been going around.  It was great to see a couple kids from our class joining in with the Steam Holiday Days that Mr James organised.  I really enjoyed it and got some ideas to use in our class.


Production practice starts straight away and our class will be taking part as well.  We start our whole class practice on Monday.  I am really looking forward to this as I have not had the opportunity to do a school production before.  Congratulations to the children from our class who auditioned and have gained a part in the show.  There are more auditions going to happen during the week.

Three way interviews are happening in Week 2.  Don't forget to go to School Interviews and book a time..

Our Breakfast Club will be operating again Monday - Friday from 8.30am.

Masks will be compulsory for all children Year 4-6 as well as the teachers.  

Our Learning this Term.

Maths - Geometry - to identify, describe and draw 2D and 3D shapes.
         - Multiplication - to learn our times tables to x12 with instant recall.  (Encourage them to practice at home, make it into a game/challenge/competition).
Math Whizz - Our goal is to get 4+ progressions each week.  This can be done at home as we often don't get the opportunity to do in class.  This is a great programme which helps build the children's understanding and confidence.

Reading - to skim and scan text to find relevant information.  Word finds are a great way to help build the skill o skimming and scanning.

Writing - attempt more complex punctuation such as apostrophes for possession, commas for clauses 
          - going back and recraft our writing checking punctuation, spelling and meaning.  using a dictionary and thesaurus to help when making corrections..

Religious Education - Prayer - using prayer as a way to grow closer to God.

Can you please ensure your child has a ruler, red pen and headphones.  These will be required this term.  Over the ear headphones are better as the ear plug type tends to get lost in their desk and a lot of time is spent untangling them.  The ones from Warehouse or K Mart are great and reasonably priced.
