Term 1, Week 5

-

Hi Parents and students,

I hope you had a great long weekend and are ready for another weekend in a couple of days. You have to love these short weeks, especially when a swimming carnival gets thrown in there!

Affirmation of the Week:


IMPORTANT REMINDERS

Swimming Lessons
These begin next week and run for two weeks at the Dunsborough Boat Ramp.

The Year Five classes will be leaving school at 12:35pm and arrive back at school at approximately 01:40pm.

Please ensure that your child has everything that they need to participate fully in each swimming lesson. This includes bathers, rash vest, towel, flip flops (to and from the lesson) and possibly a separate bag for wet bathers etc. All STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO WEAR THEIR SPORTS UNIFORM FOR THE WHOLE TWO WEEKS OF SWIMMING LESSONS.

Home Learning for Week 5
I have told the kids that I haven’t uploaded a new Home Learning Grid, however, they will still need to read, show attitude of gratitude, practice times tables, play spelling games and continue their physical activity. No need for a parent signature this week but next week will continue as usual.


UPCOMING EVENTS

1. Crazy Hair Day – 6th March (Gold coin donation)

2. Free dress day – 6th March (MEELUP FACTION ONLY)


 LEARNING

RELIGION
The students have all made their Lenten Promises for the season of Lent. These have been uploaded to their Digital Learning Journeys on One Note for you to have a look at.

ENGLISH

Spelling focus for Week 6 and Week 7 are the grapheme’s ‘k’ and ‘e’.

The students have created a setting for their narratives using the picture below. They tried to evoke as many of the senses as they could. They have done a fantastic job!

We will now move on to building a character and developing a plot.

NUMERACY

The following concepts will be taught over the next couple of weeks.

Number and Algebra: Addition and subtraction mental strategies

Measurement and Geometry: 24hr time and calculating time (elapsed time etc..)

Until next time, choose kind…


Mr Jones

Parent / Teacher Interview Reflections

 Hi Year Five parents! A big thank you to all of the Year Five parents that managed to come in for a chat about your child's progress this year. Both Miss Lombardi and myself have reflected on the process and some key points to come out of our meetings is to provide you guys with some strategies to best support your child's learning at home. READING: As all children should be reading for a minimum of 20 minutes each day, hopefully a time could be set aside each week to engage with their reading. Below is a list of questions that you could ask your child before, during or after reading, to get the conversation started. It would be great if you could listen to your child read at least once a week, paying close attention to their ability to use the punctuation cues within the text.  MATHEMATICS: As part of our home learning in Year Five, the students will focus on a particular Times Table for the week. They have access to a range of hip new songs that focus on the different multi...
