Term Two is off to a great start.

Although our fortnightly attendance seems low with 40% of our class here more than 95% of the time, we now have all our families back from holidays and 100% of the class in attendance. It is great to be back, and I am very excited about the learning that will take place this term.

Firstly, in English we are studying storytelling, particularly, the writing conventions needed to communicate ideas clearly using the correct spelling, punctuation and grammar. In Science we are learning about mixtures. We will be making a range of concoctions throughout the term.

In HASS our unit is based on places and the features different places have at a personal, local and national scale. We loved the start of this unit, designing our perfect bedroom and are excited about continuing this learning when drawing plans and maps of playgrounds, classrooms, our school, Weipa and beyond.

This term’s Religion focus is on the creations stories and what it means to be stewards of creation.

Everyone’s Homework including sight words will now be marked each Friday. Please ensure your child has completed their holiday recount, length sheet and coloured in the magic e words they know.

A star chart has been created to encourage everyone to complete their work.

This Friday a Maths booklet will be added to your child’s folder. Please complete one sheet per week.

If you were unable to make a parent teacher interview last term, I am free any morning or afternoon next week.

It was wonderful catching up with most of you last term to discuss your child’s progress so far. Thank you!
