Week 5

Mathletics

Thanks to the 3 people who have accessed Mathletics.  As this is a free trial it is important that you do have a look soon because I will need to know whether people want to sign up to the long term programme.  

Study Ladder and Reading Eggs

Continue to use these great learning sites to enhance your child's progress.  The children love using them......particularly Study Ladder.  There is a huge variety of activities and great rewards.  Keep up the good work.

Poems

Our poetry publications are almost complete so look out for these wonderful creations hanging up later in the week.  Children have worked very hard to complete this tricky exercise.

Friday Sports Event

It was originally planned for a swimming demonstration with races for Year 3.  However, after watching the seniors complete the triathlon last Wednesday the children became so excited that we have decided to hold a duathlon for Year 2 & 3 instead.  A more detailed note will come out later in the week but if you plan to watch it will definitely be before lunch - around 11am (possibly changed morning tea time).

Also on Friday morning is a Hip Hop demonstration by the local club in which children will be able to participate.

Testing

There will be 3 formal tests held this week.  Reading, Listening and Maths.  It is an introduction to this type of testing for these children.

Worm Farm

Some children chose to explore creating a worm farm at Discovery Time last week.  Some errors occurred but was an excellent learning activity for them.  We now have a worm farm in our classroom.  Thanks to Mrs Foley for arranging the opportunity.
