Term 3 Week 7

Welcome to week 7......
This week and next week our  class has a Prac student from USQ joining our room.  Her name is Stacey O'Connor.  She will be observing the class and the routine and towards the end of the week will be leading some lessons.


The class will be continuing writing their Religion articles and their History information reports and posters.  Next week will be the term maths test. 


Homework is due on Friday morning.


Have a good week.

Term 3 Week 2

Our class assembly is on Wednesday afternoon this coming week.  Please join us and watch the class perform as they have been working very hard. 


This term the children will be working on three main units.  In History, we will be learning about the exploration of inland Australia. Our main focus will be on the journeys of Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson and Burke and Wills and their contributions to the opening up of Australia for settlement.

 

The Science unit is called “Light Fantastic”. The children will be investigating various light sources and how light can be absorbed, reflected and refracted.

 

In Health the children will look at using effective strategies when interacting socially with others.

 

Our Religion unit for the term is Scripture. The children will be learning about how people lived in the time of Jesus. In this unit, the children will learn about the foods, clothing, entertainment, money, climate, education, etc in the time of Jesus. The children will use this information to present a newspaper in groups based on the format of the Courier Mail that will be set in the time of Jesus. This promises to be a very interesting unit.

 

It will be a very busy term but a very interesting and exciting one. 

Term 3 Week 1

Welcome back to the first school week.. This week starts very quickly and straight back into homework and spelling.


Our class is hosting assembly in week 2 so please make sure that you ask you child about the performance.  It would be great to see as many parents attend as possible.


A letter about what the children will be studying this term will come out soon.


Enjoy the week.

Term 2 Week 10

Enjoy the holidays everyone.  Thank you to all my parents and students for a wonderful term.

Term 2 Week 8

This week is the final week that the students can work on their History, Science and Geography.  It is a busy week with compiling all the assessment tasks that the children have done and collating them to be ready for their portfolios. 


Please contact me or the school office if you have not made a parent teacher interview yet.  Interviews take place on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. 


Please ensure your child completes their homework.  It is very minimal - spelling words and times tables.


Enjoy your week and I look forward to seeing you at the Parent Teacher Interviews.


Have a good week.
