Term 2, Week 7

Good morning OLC!

I hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed the fantastic weather. Last weekend without football!

Affirmation of the Week:

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

2.    Home Learning – Thank you to all the parents that are tracking their child’s home learning during the week and signing it ready for Friday. Please make sure that everything is completed as some Home Learning Grids are being signed, however, when I cross check, there are some activities that aren’t being completed.

3.    Speak Out – The speaking and listening challenge from last term will finally begin to wrap up next week. Only 4 kids presented their speeches last term so there is a good chance that your child was not one of them. Hopefully, all that is required is a couple of practice runs before the day as they should have been completed last term. You can access the challenge and when each child will be required to present theirs via TEAMS – English Channel – Files – Speaking and Listening.

NUMERACY

We will continue all the work we have done on fractions and begin to link it to decimals and percentages this week. Please remember to follow up with your child in regards to what ‘times table’ they are practicing during the week.

ENGLISH

The students are currently designing their ‘dream island’. Their job is to call on as many of the persuasive devices as they can to persuade people to visit their island. The children have already sketched the draft copy of their island so this week we will focus on the written side of the task. It looks like we may have some budding advertisers in the class.

STEM

This week, will see the last lesson in our ‘surviving in tough times’ unit before we begin our ‘Desert Bear Project’. By the end of the week, the children will know what groups they have been placed in. They will also receive a project overview as well as a list of steps to successfully complete the project.

It would be great if you could continue to save any recyclable materials that may be of use to complete the project.

Until next time, choose kind…
