Hello Parents,
We hope that you had a wonderful weekend. Moving into Week 6 of home learning now. Here are a few important reminders:
- Quizizz: please make sure that first names and surnames of your child are used.
- Each Quiz has a time lapse. When allocating deadlines, we have allowed for a grace period but once it has expired, we cannot reassign with new quiz codes. These Quizzes are an important form of our assessments. Please make sure that they are completed or communicate with us if you are unable to do them.
Zoom Meetings: Mrs Wade and Mrs Every are looking forward to seeing Grade 1 on their designated days. Please see the Literacy weekly learning grid for details. Log in information will be emailed separately.
1A – Tuesday at 10:00am
1B – Thursday at 10:00am
STAR Tests (RENLearn)
The whole school has been doing STAR Testing online and the school leadership would like us to continue.
Monday: Reading Test. Please do not help your child with the reading once they are logged in.
Thursday: Math Test (or before if you choose). Students may use counters and number charts. They may want to work answers out on a scrap piece of paper too, however, be aware that the questions are timed. We do not have access to change this. You will need to read the questions to your child but please don’t assist in the answering of them. Please also be aware that some topics have not been covered yet. For example, money and interpreting graphs. The tests will also gage general knowledge. Each child is on a different level based on how they have done in their previous STAR tests so please don’t be alarmed if their questions reflect Grade 2, 3, 4 levels.
Math: If you don’t have a printer, drawing and writing answers on paper is absolutely fine. Children will just refer to the activity sheets on the screen. The activities have been uploaded in landscape format with 2 to a page. If you wish to print one to a page in portrait, please feel free to edit the document.
Literacy: Over the next few weeks, we will be learning about Descriptive Writing. This week’s task is an introduction to the topic.
Technology: Ms Kirsten has offered to upload her lessons to Seesaw. Watch out for updates to your child’s account.
Music: There are several children who still need to complete their Music assignment from last week. Ms Janelle has asked that you use the time this week to complete the assignment.
