Dress
up as a champion Aug 31st
Today I will be
in the school but working outside the classroom. I will be there to assist Mr
King should he need it as both Mrs Berkhout and Ms Della-Vedova will be absent.
Miss Emma Bradshaw will be the D1 teacher today and I am sure both the children
and Miss Bradshaw will have a good day. Emma completed her teacher training in D2 with
Mrs Kissick earlier this year.
100 DAYS OF SCHOOL
We had lots of
fun last Thursday with our 100 day activities and I hope the children were able
to tell you a little about the morning. I am hoping to have some of the children’s
writing in the school newsletter this week but please take a minute or two to
see their writing hanging in the room.
COLLECTION OF 100 THINGS
Even though our
100 day celebrations are over, it would be great if all children could bring
along their little bag of one hundred items. So far we have had straws, beads,
noodles, rice, stones, coins, gum balls and beads. It has been so interesting
to see the collections come in and I am hopeful that the others coming will be
just as interesting. The bar has been lifted quite high!
SCI TECH VISIT
This incursion
will be next Monday 6th August at 11:20 am for our class. There will
be a 30 minute demonstration by the Sci Tech crew and a 30 minute hands on
activity to follow. The advantage of these visits is that they can provide experiences
that we are unable to provide at school. The $4.60 is well worth it.
OLYMPICS
I am hoping that
the children were able to see at least some of the opening ceremony and have
been able to watch some of the events so far. This week our focus will be on
learning a little about the sports that are involved and next week we will
commence our study of some of the countries involved. I am sending home an
outline of the sport investigation the children will be doing in class but there
is so much for them to learn. Not only do I have to find some text that is easy
enough for the children to read but I have to teach them to take notes and then
later use those notes in a report. It is a big ask for children so young but we
will have a go. Any help you can offer from home would be warmly welcomed.
SPELLING CHANGES
Today I am sending home the test the children completed last Friday.
The test was of 80 words so it was quite a mammoth task. I am hoping it will
give you more of an idea where to start your child or which words to focus on.
Those children who made odd errors or those who make a big effort to learn
their words may come to school and ask a testing buddy to call the words out
for them on any day this week. Friday’s will be kept for whole lists of words.
Some children are very close to moving onto their next list.
CONGRATULATIONS
Honour certificates
will be presented to Lennon, Ashley and Larsen this week to acknowledge their progress.
Congratulations to them all. The assembly will start at 1:50pm.
WOOLWORTHS STICKERS
I have been told
that there has been an extension for the collections of stickers so please save
them for us.
