Welcome Back to Term Two!

Good morning,
Here is the Homework that has been assigned for this week:

Tuesday 21st April - Friday 24th April.
Reading –I ask that the students read for a maximum of 15 minutes each night. If possible, can you ask your child to read out loud to you regularly? It is a great way to show your interest in their learning and it is beneficial for your child to hear themselves. It also helps them to correct any mistakes, as well as giving them practise for our Assemblies etc.
Please make sure that your child writes the name of the book they are reading and the number of pages read in their diary in the appropriate space.

Diary –the students are given time every day to write all appropriate notes in their diary.
I ask that you check your child’s diary each night and sign it. I also use the diary as a way to let you know how your child is going or if I need to see you?

Maths – IXL– each day the students will be assigned an IXL Maths task to complete at home that night. These tasks are aligned to our learning in class and provide a way to practise and consolidate the skills from our classwork.
  • Tuesday K.1 - Prime or Composite
  • Wednesday L.1 - Multiply a decimal by a one-digit whole number
  • Thursday L.2 - Multiply a decimal by a multi-digit whole number
This is done to a maximum of 15 minutes.

Spelling -students will complete a Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check of all of their list words using the given framework. I ask that their words are corrected, either by you or by the student.
They will also need to complete one activity each night using the given Spelling Activities Rubric.

This term the students have been asked to add 5 "Conquer Words" to their weekly spelling lists. These words have come from their writing and are words that need a little further work to make sure they become embedded correctly.

Edmodo – I have asked that your child checks Edmodo every night when possible. This is a closed group in which the students are able to contact each other to ask relevant school work questions as well as complete set tasks.
Important Information
Parent - Teacher Interviews - A note was sent home yesterday in regards to making a booking to meet with me. I apologise for the incorrect date - they will begin on Wednesday 29th April, Thursday 30th April and Friday 1st May in the morning and afternoon. Please come in and check the schedule on the stationery cupboard near the door in the wet area. Time slots are filling up fast!
Camp 2015 - A packing list and additional information will be sent home on Tuesday of next week to help guide the packing for camp. If you have not returned your child's forms can I please ask you to do so as soon as possible.
Important Dates - I sent home a list of important dates yesterday, these are handy to pop on the fridge. Please note that the new school website is now up and running and there is the most up to date version of the Term 2 calendar. Please check this if you are not sure at any time.
Contact - If you need to contact me at any time, email is best as I can access during my non-teaching times. Please note that my mobile number is only to be used in case of an emergency. I appreciate your consideration in this matter.
Have a great week,

Mrs Delane

Hi Parents and students, What a great weekend to be down south! So special to be able to witness such a unique swell direction and see the whole coastline light up. Can’t wait for the next cyclone swell in 9 years! Affirmation of the Week: Camp: I am still on the hunt for some dad volunteers for the Year 6 camp. Let me know if you are interested. Chrism Mass: Please make sure your child has brought their permission slip into me tomorrow morning. Some children have suggested that they have misplaced their note. I have said to them to have Mum or Dad write a note that they give them permission to travel by bus, to and from St Patrick’s Cathedral in Bunbury. Please refer to the ‘Chrism Mass Blog’ for any other info. Holy Week: The Year 5’s and 6’s will be presenting their part of Holy Week celebrations on Wednesday morning at 9:00am in the hall.
