Good evening Parents,
We are almost there! Not long to go until the end of term...I cannot believe it! The children are getting tired BUT I am encouraging them to think of others and just be kind to one another :)
Just a few reminders this week...
Sports Carnival
The Sports Carnival has changed from Thursday of this week to Tuesday of next week (24th of Sept) due to inclement weather. Hopefully we will have a sunny day and be ready to rock and roll on Tuesday!
Wonnerup House
We are very excited for our visit to Wonnerup house this Friday! Hopefully the weather Gods will look after us and give us a nice sunny day! I have everyone's permission slips (well done everyone!) and the children have loved learning about the 'olden days' in class. It will be a dress up day but please feel free to go very simple in the costume department. Thank you to all those who volunteered to come and help. I will contact you via email this week with information on where we will meet you.
Sight words
Last week both Year One classes took part in a sight word review. All the children were tested on the first 100 words to see what they have retained or to see what words they already know (if they have not reached the last set of 25 words). This week, the children will not be tested on their words but be given their review words to take home and practise. Please take some time to go over these with your children as this may mean they have not retained previous words they have learnt. If you have any concerns, please email me.
Mental Maths
This will be the last week of Mental Maths for Term 3 (Unit 17). The children have loved their weekly challenge and it has certainly helped their number attack skills within our in class maths program.
Children away in Week 10
If any families are sneaking away to an early family holiday (very jealous) or work commitment which prevents your child from attending school in week 10, could you please email me ASAP and let me know the dates as we are attempting some reading and maths assessments in the last few days of term.
If there are any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me.
Many thanks
Miss Prowse
