Week 11

The last week of the term, where did the time go?! Thank you to our parents for the amazing turnout to Showcase Evening, it was loving to see so many and to have the chance to catch up. The children really enjoyed testing their parents' geographical knowledge too!

We hope the children keep up their reading over the break, not only to help them improve but to foster a life long love of reading. There will be revision activities on Studyladder for the children to do as well. (Maybe for when they say they're bored?!)

A reminder that Monday 7th October is a public holiday so school resumes on Tuesday 8th October. Keep an eye out for the term newsletter that will be sent home in the first week back. It will contain lots of information about dates to remember - there is a lot to fit into the 9 weeks of Term 4! We will also post dates of upcoming events on the blog too so please watch this space.

Finally, thanks for the support over the term and we hope everyone has a safe and happy Spring holiday.

Regards,
Felicity Pryer & Melissa Evans

Week 10

Welcome to Week 10. This will be a busy week in the classroom as we finish off our units in preparation for Portfolios and our Showcase Evening. We look forward to seeing everyone next Wednesday 18th September in the classroom between 6-7pm.

In Maths we are continuing to work on fractions and transformations. The children will complete an assessment on these next week. Even though Studyladder activities no longer appear on the homework, the children are welcome to access their accounts and do the maths activities at home. Regular repetition in maths really helps them to develop the concepts.

We have studied all the Pamela Allen books from the unit now and the children have already chosen one of those books have a started writing a book report on it.

The children also have an assessment on Reconciliation to complete, as well as a Geography assessment.

Have a great week,
Felicity Pryer & Melissa Evans

Week 9

Hi! We hope all the father's enjoyed their special day yesterday. Have any dads used their voucher yet?

This week in maths we are continuing to work with fractions and we will also begin to explore the processes of sliding, flipping and rotating. Ask the children if they can demonstrate it to you.

We have two more Pamela Allen books left to read in our English unit. We will be reading The Little Old Man who looked up at the Moon and The Toymaker and the bird. We will discuss the features of these texts in preparation for the book report that the children will write. We will explore characters and synonyms.  Our sound for the week is final k "ck".

We have started our Geography unit so you will probably hear about countries, continents and oceans.  The children are very excited to be looking at a world map!

Have a good week,
Felicity & Melissa
