Week 5

Welcome to Week 5.  This week we continue to explore our units of work.

In maths we are revising the meaning of halves and exploring the meaning of quarters and thirds.  We are also continuing to review all content covered so far this term in preparation for our Term 3 maths exam in Week 7.  You can support your child by doing the following with them: reading anologue clocks (o'clock, half-past, quarter past & quarter to), reading calenders, doing single-digit additions and subtractions, counting money and counting in 2s, 3s, 5s, and 10s to 200.

The homework grid is due today and you will find the new homework grid and this week's spelling words on the Homework page of the blog.  We encourage the children to bring their reading folder daily so they can be given a new book.  Regular practise is what develops vocabulary and fluency.  Please ask your children some questions about what they are reading to assist in the development of comprehension.  The same goes for T.V. shows or movies that they watch - ask them some questions about it.

Next week will be a busy week so here is a reminder of what's happening.  Next Monday 13th August is the Logan Show holiday so there will be no school.  On Tuesday we celebrate Under 8's day with a morning of activities on the junior oval (let's hope we continue to have these beautiful days!). There is no holiday for the children on Wednesday and there is a whole school mass to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption. On Thursday we will have our Bookweek parade.  The children are able to come to school dressed as their favourite character from a book.  

Have an enjoyable week!
