Sight Words
This week, a
revision sheet will go home with your child for the first 100 sight words. All
of the children have been retested and on the first 100 words and the words
that have been spelled incorrectly are written on your child’s revision sheet.
If you get time over the holidays could you please practise these words with
your child to help them master the first 100.
Homework
This week
the only homework that we are sending home is sight words. Readers are going
back to the Library and all Comprehension Packs will not go home again until
next term. If you have any overdue Comprehension Packs, please send them back
to school, along with all readers on Monday. As of Week One next term, the students
are asked to complete one unit per week in their Think Mentals books.
The Think Mentals will be collected fortnightly for signing. If you could
please continue to mark your child’s work as they complete it to give them
immediate feedback it would be much appreciated. Unit 6 and Unit 7 will be
due on Friday 28th July (end of Week 2).
Grandparent’s Day
A reminder
that all Grandparents are invited to our annual Grandparent’s Day this Tuesday.
Our Prayer Service begins at 9am in the hall, followed by morning tea at 9:30am
and classrooms will be open from 10am to 11 am. In Year One the children will
complete 3 activities during that time – one in 1R, one in 1P and another in
the Wet Area. Grandparents are invited to come in across this time and find
their grandchild who will show them what they have been learning about in Year
One.
PLD Spelling Test
Today the children completed their PLD spelling assessment. Many of the children did very well with their test and should be very proud of the spelling concepts they have learnt this term. There will be some children who will remain in their current spelling group as they did not achieve the 80% required to move into the next phonic group. Please be assured that if your child did not move up, they will be exposed to a completely new set of spelling words with the revision sounds.
