Term 2, Week 8
Hi there parents!
Just a quick blog this week.
CAMP 2020
Camp has been tentatively booked for the beginning of next term at Forest Edge in Waroona. Unfortunately, we still haven't received the green light from the government. With this mind, we are still going ahead with the necessary planning in hope that the government will jump onboard soon.
Your child will be bringing home a permission slip and a medication form for you to fill in and send back in to me. If these could be in by the end of the week, that would be great.
We will let you know of any more information as soon as we find out.
MERIT AWARDS
Congratulations to the merit award winners and star citizen winner over the past few weeks. Great job!

STEM PROJECTS
The students have been placed in their groups for the ‘Bear Project’. Over the next week, the groups will be in the investigating phase of the project. For more information, please visit the STEM content library on One Note.
PERSUASIVE ISLANDS
The children have created some pretty fantastic islands. The focus this week will be writing a persuasive text to persuade people to visit their islands.
READING GROUPS
We have been busy over the last week, preparing for a new activity during reading groups. The new activity is called a Literature Circle. In the circle, each child will take on a different role to discuss a familiar text that the group has read.
The roles are as follows:
1. WORD WIZARD - finds any interesting or Important words.
2. COOL CONNECTOR - makes text to text, text to self or text to world connections
3. DISCUSSION DIRECTOR - prepares some ‘thick’ questions for discussion
4. LITERARY LUMINARY - looks for any examples of similes, metaphors, personification etc.
I’m looking forward to seeing them in action.
Until next time, choose kind...
Kind regards,
Mr Jones
