Week 4

Good afternoon and welcome to week 4...already!!

This week we have been continuing with our learning around what happens to materials when we add heat.  We also learned about what happens when we remove head from a liquid, and as you can see had plenty of fun chocolate welding.  The best thing about this activity isn't the chocolate or marshmallows (because we didn't even get to eat any!!) but the problem solving and teamwork that is necessary to make the tallest self-sustaining tower possible while we look at chocolate changing from a liquid to a solid!!










Homework

Spelling Homework
Please support your child to practice their spelling concept and any personal words they may have this week.  You may even like to give them a break and test them either orally or on scrap paper.

Maths Homework
It is expected that Unit 24 be completed this week for homework.   I appreciate your time to mark your child's work as they complete it so that they can receive immediate feedback.  Please feel free to asterisk concepts that your child finds difficult so that I can acknowledge and cater for this for future planning and teaching. 

Readers
Please support your child to practice their reading everyday, aloud if possible.  If your child says they do not have a reader, reading books from home is perfectly acceptable, even encouraged.
Reminders


Mission Markets 
This Thursday is our annual OLC Mission Markets-  celebrating Our Lady of the Cape Feast Day. We will begin celebrations with a school mass at Our Lady of the Bay church (in the hall if the weather isn't suitable to walk to the church). After recess we will be running our stall.  We will need a small number of volunteer parents to help with the running, so if you are available to help, please let me know by Wednesday.
