Week 9 Term 1

Can you believe it is already the end of Term 1? I know I can't, but we are still learning about rhetorical questions and how they help to grab our attention in persuasive texts!!  I hope you all had a relaxing weekend and were able to enjoy some sunshine. 

Parent Teacher Interviews

Firstly, thank you to all those parents that have attended (and will be attending) parent interviews. It has been great to sit down and firstly meet many of you, but also discuss how your children are going so far. Please remember, if at any time you have concerns, questions or just want a chat, please drop in and see me or send me an email. 

Homework

Our usual homework is due this week, but on Thursday 1st April as Friday is a public holiday.

Easter Story Liturgy

On Wednesday at 10am the Easter Story will be presented to the school by the Year 5s. If you would like to join the liturgy you are more than welcome. 

Free Dress

Naturaliste were the stand out winners in this terms token count.  As such they have free dress this Wednesday 31st March. 

Pre-Primary Icebergs

Pre-primary science lessons have involved looking at how ‘the sun changes everything’.  They are planning on finishing their unit by constructing 2 ‘icebergs’ in the pre-primary area to see how the sun effects one sitting in the sun and the other sitting in the shade. But they need your help….

The Pre-Primary teachers are asking every family in the school to bring ice blocks (made using an ice cream container or large plastic container) to the Pre-primary playground this Thursday morning (1st April). You may colour the water if you like.

The students will watch the icebergs melt throughout the day after predicting how long it will take for the icebergs to melt and which one will melt first.

Please them construct the biggest icebergs they can!!!

Have a great week and enjoy a well deserved and restful holiday.

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. 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
