Hello,

In most cases when there is a long o at the end of a word we use the ow spelling. For example row, crow, throw.

This week in Mathematics the children will be recognising, recording, ordering and using numerals to 100. We will also be locating these numbers on a number line.
The children will also continue looking at Measurement, we will explore measuring, estimating and comparing mass with different objects and a balance scale.
Book week- Costume Parade Day
On Thursday 24th August, as part of Book Week we are lucky enough to have well known Author and Illustrator Andrew Joyner as our guest speaker, He will be doing a drawing workshop with class which will be exciting.
On Friday 25th August, we have our costume Parade Day. Please be mindful that the children wear their costume all day and will need to manage their costume independently when they go to the toilet. They may need to bring a coat if it’s cold. Please meet us at the South Hall at 9am to watch us participate in the parade. This is always a highlight for the children.
Premiers Reading Challenge
A reminder that the Premiers Reading Challenge finishes very soon. If you haven't already, please hand your completed Premiers Reading Challenge form to Mrs Lee-Anne Arnold.
