Term 3, Week 5

-

 

 

 Hey everybody!

 

We had a very special visitor to the classroom last Wednesday. Wilko appreciated the extra love that he received from all the students and the way that they remained really calm throughout the day.



Wilko is still in recovery mode from his extended stay at the hospital but is definitely getting better each day and a day hanging out and listening to the kids read especially helps. He was tuckered out by home time.

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...
