Week 1 version 2!!

Well, it was finally great to start the year after the little pause we had last week.  The children have settled in very well and were straight into the swing of things.

This week we will be getting to know each other and our classroom expectations as we work through place value in maths and begin narrative writing in literacy.  In science this term we are exploring Earth Science and have linked both Design and Technology and Art into this topic.

Just a few points of note this week; 

Uniform

Term one is our Summer uniform: 
Girls - Summer dress with brown sandals or black school shoes with white socks.
Boys - White shirt, grey shorts with brown sandals or black school shoes with grey socks. Please see school website for more information. 

We will need to wear our sport uniform this semester on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Homework

We have taken a staged approach to homework this week.  Students have brought home their homework books with an 'about me' activity glued in.  There will be no mental maths or spelling set this week, although I ask that you child select a book from home to read each night.  Homework is due Friday to provide opportunity to complete this around the busy home schedule.  So please support your child to remember their homework on Friday, or earlier if they wish.

OLC Opening Mass

On Friday, we will be walking to the church for our opening school mass.


As always, please do not hesitate to contact me should you require anything further.
Regards
Mr Mc

Just a few points of note this week;  Homework Students have glued into their homework books their spelling, ma ths and homework grid. This is due Friday to provide opportunity to complete this around the busy home schedule.  All students have brought home a reader and I am starting to see these be swapped.  If your child has finished their reader, please encourage them to swap this in the morning before lesson start.  Please support your child to complete their homework by providing them the time to sit and complete this work.
