Weekly News Week 6
Hello,
The children really enjoyed Book Week last week and it was great to see so many creative, amazing book characters come to life.
Spelling Week 6-ew
Ew can be made as ew, u_e, ue. This week we are focusing on the ew spelling. The ew sound can be pronounced as ‘oo’ for example new or as a ‘ue’ sound for example ‘grew’.
This weeks tricky words are; father & mother
Maths
This week in Maths children will be looking at time. They will be describing the duration of time using months, weeks, days and hours.
Please revise over with your child the order of the days of the week and months of the year. We are learning to relate days and months to events in own life. We are learning that months are connected with seasons.
We will also be making o’clock and half past times on analogue and digital clocks.
Father’s Day Stall
This year the P& F are trialling something new. Instead of bringing in a wrapped gift to donate and $2 coin to purchase a gift on the day, they are instead asking for your child to please being in $5 to purchase a Fathers Day gift that will be supplied by the P&F Committee. The $5 can be brought in prior to Thursday’s stall and handed to the class teacher too look after or simply brought in on the day. If 2 gifts are required $10 will need to be given etc. Thankyou for your support with this.
Premiers Be Active Challenge & Reading Challenge
We are encouraging all the junior students to complete the Premiers Be Active Challenge. Similar to the Premiers Reading Challenge, the students will log their physical activity on the record sheet they received last week in their Printed Notes Book. If they complete the challenge they will be awarded a medal.
Premiers Reading Challenge finishes next week. If you haven't already, please hand your completed Premiers Reading Challenge form to Mrs Lee-Anne Arnold.
Have a lovely week,
Amy Penna & Kimberley Helps
