Wow! What a week! We certainly have so much to give thanks for.
Sports Day was a huge success. Well done to all our little athletes and a big thank you to all the parents who were there to help.
Due to the shorter week we have just had, we will do the same memory verse next week. (Ps 84v11) They only need to memorize and recite ‘For the Lord God is a sun and shield, the Lord God bestows favor and honor.’
Just a reminder that Friday the 7th will be a half day. Please pick your child up between 12.00-12.30 from the Dorms.
We need to do a little catch up in Math, so next week we will finish off patterns and then start Fractions (halves and fourths). Homework is a practice sheet of patterns. There are a couple fun songs on Youtube for Patterns. Here is one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBjjxSx45-Q&t=21s Also, don’t blame me if your children come home singing ‘Banana Banana Meatball!’ hahaha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ9q4U2P3ig&t=23s
In Science we will be moving into our new topic Earth and Sun. Lots of exciting investigations ahead.
In Literacy, we are reminding ourselves of some grammar skills and reviewing phonics so far. We will also be focusing on our speaking and listening in the children’s individual presentations to the teacher about their Social Studies project about weather and the seasons. There is no spelling test, instead we will be doing a Reading Test on Friday. Please ensure the test sheets are sent back to school on Friday so we can use them to grade the children. There is no other Literacy homework apart from Reading your book over the weekend. On Monday, there will be a letter coming home about an online reading program that the school is trialing for the next 30 days. It is called ”Reading Eggs” and each child will have their own login. We are looking forward to your feedback on this new system.
Show & Tell – we will continue with our guessing game. Children do not need to bring anything for this. They will describe a person, place or thing for the rest of the class to guess.
Have a great weekend!
