This week we celebrated National Reconciliation Week.  The students created some beautiful artwork and made purposeful choices for their colour selections.  

We are very proud of our attendance - all but three students have attended school 95% of the time, well done.  

In English we will be learning the phonograms “ir”, “ur” and “er”, the tricky words “house”, “because” and “why”, and the grammar rules that apply when changing verbs to plurals.  We will continue to write character descriptions, using adjectives to make our writing more interesting for our readers. A reminder to fill in the Reading Diary each night. I will be looking at these each Tuesday.  I am also keeping a diary at school each time I read with each student.

In Maths, we are learning about chance; how to identify outcomes of events and describe them using language such as “will happen”, “might happen”, or “won’t happen”.  We are consolidating our addition and subtraction strategies such as counting on, rearranging parts and partitioning.

In Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), we are building Resilience by learning that it takes great strength to be sensible.  We are focussing on: listening to the teacher, asking questions when I’m not sure, not being distracted by others, and resisting the temptation to give up.

Homework:

Tricky words, reading and Maths game.
