Weekly News Week 4
Hello,
Spelling Week 4 – y as a vowel– making a long i sound
The main ways of writing the long i sound are; ie, i_e, igh and y. Last week we looked at the igh sound, and his week we are focusing on the ‘y’ spelling. When y comes at the end of a word it can make a long e or long i sound. An ‘i’ never comes at the end of a word– we say the ‘i’ is too shy and that ‘tough y’ comes to the rescue. For example by, my, try.
Tricky words ‘where‘& ‘ because‘.
Maths
This week in Mathematics the children will be looking Place
Value. Children will be breaking numbers down into hundreds tens and ones.
The children will also continue looking at Measurement, we will explore measuring, estimating and comparing capacity with different sized containers, tubs, cups, etc.
Premiers Reading Challenge
Premiers Reading Challenge finishes very soon. If you haven't already, please hand your completed Premiers Reading Challenge form to Mrs Lee-Anne Arnold. It has been pleasing to see how many children have participated in this challenge. Those participants will receive their certificate at a later assembly next term.
Student Representative Council
This is the last week 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 to the people who have already brought in their donations.
Have a lovely week!
Amy Penna and Kimberley Helps
