Hi Parents,

Thank you for sending in your child’s homework folder each day as per the email. It ensures the notes sent home are much more likely to reach you!

You should have all received a letter regarding our role play of Jesus’ time for Monday the 9^th of September. It requests that each child bring a plate of food that people would have eaten in the time of Jesus e.g. Bread, meat, olives, grapes and dates. It also asks that each child bring something to wear to replicate clothes in Jesus’ time such as a tea towel, pillowcase, sheet and belt.

Additionally, you would have hopefully seen the Health homework note requesting for photos of your child, family, hobbies and different aspects of life due Tuesday the 10th. We are hoping to discuss similarities and differences and celebrate the unique qualities that different students bring to our class.

In Maths, we have been learning strategies to solve multiplication and division problems. We have been using pictures to display groupings and matching them to related facts. The students have done incredibly well with this new concept.

In English, we are wrapping up our persuasive writing unit. Students are asked to respond to the question, “Should McDonald’s come to Weipa”? They need to come up with their opinion and reasons why they feel that way. We are using the language of persuasion to convince our audience.

For example;

Exaggeration- The worst thing in the world…

Rhetorical questions- Would you really want.?

High modality verbs- definitely, absolutely, incredibly, clearly etc

Thank you for your continued support!

Please get in touch if there is anything you wish to discuss!!!

Kind regards,

Holly
