Mufti day for us

We have had a really busy week as usual and lots of great learning has gone on.  We used a link to wikihowto to help us draw grasshoppers. They turned out brilliantly as you can see.  We are hoping to draw lots more insects as we continue to read James and The Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.  We are getting to know the characters and really took time to draw steadily.

You will be able to see many of our other great artworks at our Artshow on Wednesday 27th from 8:30am til 6pm.

Next Thursday 28th, 3/4G will be allowed to wear mufti to school as we brought the most number of items of any class in for the fete.  Please note that this is on the homework sheet and no other note will be going out.

We will be working with 4 and 5 digit numbers and place value next week.

Homework Term 3 Week 6

Please find attached Week 6 homework.  Students have been learning about direction with the emphasis now about North, South, East and West.  It might be helpful for you to point these directions out as you travel to visit family and friends.

I found this really great website which is a dictionary and thesaurus together. You type in a word and it gives the meaning and alternate words. You may find it useful to build vocabulary and help with writing sentences.  The site is wordsense.me

Next week is our book week parade and art show.

Homework Term 3 Week 5

Here is this week's homework.

The NED show was fantastic last week.  The simple message of Never Give Up, Encourage Others and Do Your Best was well received by all.  The show was very entertaining and informative.  thenedshow.com is a great website if you'd like to find out more.  Yoyos are for sale from today.  NED square will be open from tomorrow for 2 weeks.  Students can bring their NED yoyo and play with them at lunch time.  They can learn tricks online and from each other.  No 'Around the World' though!

Homework Week 4

Here is week 4 homework.  Remember, although homework is not compulsory it is important that you establish good work habits in your home from an early age.

You know your child best and you know whether they are best with a break straight from school or whether they need to get half an hour work done before going out to play.

Do they have a desk in a quiet room to complete homework?  Do they have all the right tools to complete it?  Is someone available to help them, even if it is just to set things out?  Children gain a lot from your feedback when checking their homework before it is handed in.  Homework should be a calm, enjoyable experience for all concerned.

There are still a few students who have not brought their note for the athletics carnival.  Please return ASAP.
