Weekly News Week 3
Hello,
Spelling – igh
The long ‘i’ sound can be written as; ie, i_e, igh and y.
This week we will be focusing on the ‘igh’ spelling.
For ‘igh’, the ‘gh’ are unheard. There is no rule to help students learn when to use the ‘igh’ spelling but it is commonly, although not exclusively used before a ‘t’ sound.
For example; light, might, sight.
Jolly Phonics action: Stand to attention and salute say “ie, ie!”
This weeks tricky words are: old and by
Maths
This week in Mathematics the children will be focusing on Australian coins. We will be learning to make different combinations of money amounts and learning to exchange money for goods in play situations and give correct change.
The children will also be looking at Measurement, we will explore measuring and estimating capacity with containers, tubs, cups, etc.
Student Representative Council
For the next 2 weeks, the SRC will be collecting donations of toiletries and travel minis in order to assist Anglicare. Donations can include small bottles of shampoo and conditioner, soap, toothpaste, combs, deodorant, small body sprays etc. Please send your donations in with your child and place in the shoebox located on the side bench under the window. Many thanks for your support with this very worthwhile cause.
