Term 2 Week 2

This week we will begin our new units of work for this term.  Please refer to the classroom newsletter that was sent home on Wednesday afternoon for a detailed outline of the topics the students will be studying this term.
Homework and home readers will commence this week.  Homework is due in on Friday morning.  In spelling this week the students will be focusing on plurals "s" and "es".  In English, the students will be writing some descriptive texts this term.  This week we will be writing descriptive texts about "crocodiles".
Maths this week we will be relooking at 2D and 3D shapes.  Introducing the words chance, likely, unlikely, certain and impossible.
In History we will be looking at pictures of the Greenbank war memorial and studying different characteristics of this and where it is located. We will be discussing why they are special and the students will have to draw and label their own war memorial.  Please continue to collect and send in a shoe box and smaller boxes that fit inside the shoe box for your child to make their own suitcase to "go to war".
In Religion we will be beginning our work on the Old Testament and re familiarising ourselves with stories we have looked at before from the Old Testament; eg Noah's Ark and Creation.
Dance Fever is very Tuesday morning at 9 am. 
A "BIG" congratulations to all the students in our class... 2G received BOTH the library class of term1 and the Music class of the term!! The Library challenge is awarded on the most number of students who have remembered to bring their library bags in the cohort and the Music award is based on points accumulated in class for behaviour for the whole school.  GREAT WORK 2G!!!  I'm very proud.


Enjoy your week.

Term 2 Week 1

Welcome to the start of term 2!  I hope you have all had a chance to relax and spend some time with family and friends. 

This is only a short week with school returning on Tuesday 22^nd April and Friday 25^th April is the Anzac Day public holiday. 

The school week will begin with a whole school mass at 10am in the hall to celebrate Easter.  Please remember that the students are invited to be involved in the Anzac Day March to the Greenbank RSL at 9.45 on the morning of the 25^th.

Please remember to return your child’s Portfolio to me asap.

Dance fever commences this week with the year 2 students attending at 9 am each Tuesday morning during term 2.

Our home readers will be given out for the children to commence reading with you.  Please ensure that this is returned daily.  In your child’s reading folder I have put a comprehension sheet.  This sheet is to assist you in asking your child questions about the book they have read.  Many of the students can read well but fail to understand the information they have just read.  Please use this sheet as a guide to help you when you read with your child.

Enjoy your week.
