Dr Seuss
We are doing some fun activities, readings and creative pictures from many Dr Seuss books,
while also reading, discussing and interpreting the morals or values behind some of the stories.
'The Sneetches' is our first in depth book and we will discuss differences, tolerance, and acceptance
of others.

Dear Parents/Caregivers
We have had a great first
full week and it’s nice to settle into some routines. The children are settling
very well and learning the expectations. I am very pleased.
This week is an assessment
focus week for the syndicate, so we will need to be fresh and alert every day,
drink plenty of water and get to bed at a reasonable time, tell them Ms Steel
expects it!
On Wednesday we will have a
moment silence and a shared lunch to remember one year on from the
Earthquake. Families are welcome to
join us, full information was in the school newsletter.
This Thursday is our trip to
Jellie Park for a swim and picnic, we only have two parent helpers at this
stage so if anyone else would like to accompany us just let me know early this
week. Thank you to the two parents that have offered support.
Please remember togs, towel,
jersey, good, healthy lunch, and a bag for wet togs and towels and drink bottle
on the day.
Well done to the children who
handed in their homework books on Friday, and practiced their spelling words.
Remember the reading, basic facts and spelling are the key component of the
homework and the other is extra for the academic geeks who love to learn more!
Help!!! We are having a major
problem at this stage due to the fact that children are not bringing their
reading books, reading folder, homelog book or poem book back to school. Two of
our reading groups are large and the children do need to exchange their book
with others in the group during the week. This system grounds to a halt when books
are left at home. Can you please work out a system so that reading folders and
books are regularly returned each day. Several children did not have a poem
book to do Poetry, several did not have their homelog on Friday which meant
they could not do spelling testing! It creates an unnecessary fuss for all of
us.
Thank you to the Year 3
children who have paid their $2 to Mrs Ross or myself for their extra book.
Sorry for this mix up.
We have had a fun time with
our buddy class Room 4 on Friday icing biscuits and playing games. Check if
your child knows what their buddies name is?
Lets have another fantastic
week.

Personality Bags
All the children have now finished their Personality Bags, well done.
We will use the film footage to analyse what we are doing well and what
we can do to improve our oral language skills.
Thank you parents for your support with the Bags!
