Weekly News Week 7
Hello,
We hope all the Dad’s and Grandpa’s had a super special Fathers Day on Sunday. The children enjoyed selecting the perfect gift for them at this years Father’s Day stall.
Spelling Week 7 - ou
Ou can be made as ou or ow. This week we are focusing on the ou spelling. Ou is commonly used at the start and middle of a word.
Examples: out, mouse, house.
This weeks tricky words are: any & many.
Maths
This week in Maths children will continue exploring time. We will be introducing children to quarter past and quarter to times.
Please continue to revise 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.
Children will also be looking at making ‘groups of’ items and this will lead into early multiplication.
The Mayor’s Christmas Card Competition 2017
Our class will be taking part in the Mayors drawing Christmas Card Competition. This will be completed at school.
If you do not give consent for your child to participate and possibly have their art published, please inform us directly. Thankyou.
Premiers Be Active Challenge
We are encouraging all the Junior School 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 in Week 5 in their Printed Notes Book. If they complete the challenge they will be awarded a medal.
Have a wonderful week,
