Week 5

Good afternoon parents

Hopefully you enjoyed a restful and refreshing weekend.  

In class we have been working on descriptive writing and are moving on to writing a narrative that shows everything we have been focused on.  We are also learning about why we have our seasons, how they to the northern hemisphere and why the Wadandi calendar is different to ours.

Homework
Homework books came home with the usual spelling, maths and reading.  I have also included a multiplication chart and 2 times tables scaffold to assist when using the flash cards sent home a few weeks ago.  In the coming weeks I will be sending home 4 times tables flash cards.

Reminders

Swimming
Next week we will be travelling to the pool in Busselton for swimming lessons.  We will leave school at about 9:30 and return around 1 as we will be having double lessons with a break in between.  As such please ensure that you child has a packed recess and crunch-n-sip next week as we will need to take these with us to the pool.

Please take the time to check that your child has what they need and that it is all clearly labelled;
  • bathers
  • towel
  • goggles
  • change of underwear
  • thongs to were on the bus and to the pool
  • Rashie
  • Sports Uniform
Please include underwear in this as there is always a pair left over that belongs to no one!

Your child can wear their bathers underneath their sports uniform if they are comfortable but we will also give time for them to get changed.

Please note - your child must come to school wearing their sneakers, not thongs.

Sundial Watch Project
Wednesday we will be constructing our sundial watches.  If your child has not brought their materials in as yet, please support them to remember them so they can be constructed Wednesday.

Parent Teacher Interviews
Parent Teacher Interviews will be held during Week 8 and 9. More information to come out in the next week regarding these.

Thanks for your ongoing support

Sean

Week 3

Welcome to week three. I hope you were all able to enjoy at least a little of the wonderful weather we had over the weekend, I know I did! This week we are moving into addition strategies in maths and continuing working through narrative writing in literacy.  This week in science we are exploring and manipulating shadows. 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. This week the mental maths strategy is finding doubles and there is an example at the top of the homework page.  I have introduced the new add
