Term 3 Week 7

A very busy week ahead for all the class.  We had a puppet show yesterday in Siena hall, it was lots of fun.  This week we will be doing the last of the maths lessons as assessment will take place mid week next week.  We are also getting ready to do our book review next week. 


Enjoy the remainder of this week.

Term 3 Week 4

A busy week ahead for our class again this week.  The class will be learning about "Alliteration" during literacy lessons this week as we continue to explore our Author Review on Pamela Allen. In maths we will be looking at direction, grids and co ordinates.

Please remember next week the 13th August is our assembly.  The children are very excited and have been working very hard on this.  Please give your child a coloured Tshirt to wear over their uniform for the assembly. It can be any bright colour and preferably without any large writing or picture on it.  The children will just wear their usual sports shorts for the pants.

Week 5 is a very irregular week as the Monday is a public holiday, Tuesday the 12th is our under eights day and the children will spend the morning doing different activities and the Wednesday is the Book Week Character Parade in the morning at 9.15 am and then our assembly is on in the afternoon at 2.25 pm..... The children will be very out of routine and excited to say the least!!!

My apologies for not blogging last week.  It was a very disrupted and whirl wind week as my Grandmother sadly passed away last Friday night and I then flew to Sydney on Tuesday, we had her funeral on the Wednesday and then I flew home on Thursday.  It was a very taxing week. 

Enjoy the week ahead.
Kind regards,
Felicity
