Week Two

It was so great to be back at school and see everyone again, and it was also great to see everyone so pleased to be back.

We had an awesome learning week, the children all had some interesting facts/ideas to share when we had our pre-topic discussion about " Reduce, Reuse, Recycle." We then discussed how the rubbish we create goes to a landfill, and talked about what might happen when this gets full. What we can do to try and stop this happening. Cody came up with an interesting solution -  "we could send it to outer space."

If anyone has bread tags or old letter box flyers we would be able to have put them to good use.

This week I will begin testing for our upcoming parent-teacher interviews. I will let you know asap when the timetable is ready so you can schedule a time. We will also be beginning our maths number change-overs again.

Our word of the week is " one"
Our sound of the week is "cl "


We has a very productive J.E.T time, with a group of children helping to weed our overgrown vegie garden.  Lots of children also chose to help me at luchtime to carry on with this huge task. It will be ready for planting with our seedlings soon.

Below are some photos of J.E.T. from this week

Term 2

I do hope that you have all had a fantastic holiday. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone again on Monday morning and hearing about your holiday adventures.
It will be a broken week this week, with ANZAC day on Wednesday.
Our sound of the week will be "Bl"
Our word of the week will be "where"


Enjoy the weekend

Easter Holidays

Have a great relaxing easter break everyone. Thank you all for your fabulous comments over the past term. Till next term--- and even more fantastic learning.

Week 10

I can't believe that this is the last week of Term 1. It has been a very busy and productive learning term.

It was great to catch up with so many of you at the "Mix and Mingle" evening.

This week we will finish up our " You, Me, We" topic. Readers will come home Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Our sound of the week will be "Dd" along with the word of the week "today."
We will be staying in our own classroom for maths, looking at "Money," identifying notes and coins along with adding together same value coins, notes, e.g. $2 + $2 + $2.

We were very lucky to work with Rita Palmer this past week. She modelled writing techniques that I will be able to use with all our writing groups.

I hope that you all have a lovely, safe and relaxing Easter holidays and return refreshed for the new term.

Kind regards
Annette
