Term 4 Week 1

 Good morning and welcome back.  Can you believe that it is already term 4?

This term we are lucky enough to have been chosen as one of the GWN7/Scitech Weather Wall schools.  We have today looked at how to read the maximum/minimum thermometer and rainfall gauge and I have submitted our results for this week (we report on Mondays) Our results should be displayed  as part of the Weather Segment of the GWN news, which happens approximately 9 minutes into the News Broadcast from 5:30-6pm.

This term in Literacy we are beginning with procedures.  In Science we are beginning our Biological Science unit of work, where we will be looking at the characteristics of living things. We are reviewing money this week in Maths, before moving on to algebra and time. 

Homework

Homework this term will follow from the routines we have already developed and includes the homework grid, reading, mental maths and a spelling list with the focus sound that we are learning. 

Library books

Our library day to swap books will continue to be on Thursday.  Please work with your child to remember their library bag on Thursdays as book appreciation and exchange is very important to help us progress our reading.
