Week 5 Update

Wow! I can't believe we are almost halfway through the term!

Over the past week we have been learning about perimeter and solving problems involving the perimeter of objects. We have also been writing descriptions about a moment in time. I will be posting a couple of the children's pieces of writing each week so watch this space.

HOME LEARNING: Last week we started in our Home Learning books. You will have seen a home learning sheet in the book with Spelling, Math & Reading for the week.
Each week's home learning is pretty much the same:
🌝10 spelling words to learn and 5 sentences to show they understand the meaning of the
      words
🌝basic addition facts practice
🌝reading each night to someone, for 10 - 15 minutes. Please sign the reading log your 
     child has been given.

CONGRATULATIONS: 
Taylah received this week's school assembly award because she has been kind and helpful to her classmates and I often. Well done Taylah! I hope you enjoy your Duffy book.


I have asked the other children who earned awards earlier this term to bring in their certificates so I can take photos to post on our blog.









This week's school focus is:

very caring children

Have a wonderful week everyone!!
