Hi parents,
We hope that you have had a good week.
The children have worked very hard in our topic Story Sums this past week. I am so proud of them. We are going to be revisiting Story Sums throughout the year to get as much practice as possible. I have sent home a Story Sum practice sheet for homework. Our new topic for next week is ‘Sorting and Classifying’. I have prepared fun zip lock bags of various items for them to sort and then give reasons for their groupings.
In Science, we will be doing thermometer readings.
In Literacy, this week we have been focusing on the story of Cinderella, the characters, the setting and the plot. Next week, we will be doing our final Narrative planning and writing assessment piece based on Cinderella. This is an in-class writing session that will go towards their Quarterly grade. Remember to practise spellings from the Spelling Menu for Friday’s test. Homework this week is to read a story setting, guess which story it is from and draw it. Please return the sheet by Friday.
Social Studies Project – there will be an information sheet coming home with details about a Social Studies Project for the children to consolidate and show their knowledge of the weather and seasonal changes. This is due by January 29th. Please ensure that your child complete the project on their own.
Please remember that Friday 24th is a half day. Children are to be collected between 12:00 and 12:30 from the Dorms.
Sports Day has been scheduled for January 31st. Grade 1 need to wear a blue t-shirt and normal PE shorts/trainers. Please see the email from Coach Kring for more details, the cost is $3 per child to be paid by Monday January 27, 2020.
