Week 3

Hi and welcome to another week. Apologies for no post last week, just realised it was still saved as a draft and was never published so we won't worry about it now!

Thank you for your support regarding our ANZAC unit. Many of the children have enjoyed sharing with us what they have found out about family members who have fought in war.

 A new homework grid has gone home today. Just a reminder in case there is any confusion regarding spelling words - testing for spelling is now done as part of our literacy rotations. This allows us to give each group of children a list which is suited to their level of development. Your child will bring home there next list of spelling words on the day they do spelling as a literacy rotation activity. They then have the week to learn them and they will be tested at their next spelling rotation.

We are revising single digit addition and want the children to be able to recall these number facts quickly so please spent some time practising when you can (in the car is always good!)

Have a good week!

Welcome Back!

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter and a "somewhat" relaxing holiday! The children were excited to come into the classroom this morning and share their holiday experiences!

Term Two is always a busy one with the public holidays, reports and interviews. We have lots of great learning planned for the children and we will give you more information about what's in store in our term newsletter that will go home later in the week.

The children only brought the homework grid and spelling words home this afternoon as we are allocating new reading levels to some and need to organize the home reader books accordingly.


Have a great week!
