Homework - Week 5


Good afternoon,

Here is the Homework that has been assigned for this week Tuesday 3rd March - Friday 6th March..
As part of our learning in class I am working to develop independent work habits. I ask that you support these endeavours by encouraging your child to develop good homework habits. You can assist by ensuring that your child has time set aside each day to complete their set work.
Each week I will load the set homework for the week so that you are aware of what needs to be completed each night.

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. This is an important communication tool for all. It is also an important skill to have in terms of time management and personal organisational skills. It also helps to keep you apprised of upcoming events.

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 – H.2 – Multiply Whole Numbers: Word Problems

Wednesday – H.3 Multiply Numbers ending in Zeroes.

Thursday – H.4 – Multiply Numbers ending in Zeroes: Word Problems.

This is done to a maximum of 10 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.

BTN – each Wednesday in class we will watch the current Behind the News episode. As a class we discuss the focus story and collaborate together to produce the main ideas and supporting information. As the year progresses, I will withdraw the scaffolding provided during these times.

Your child is asked to complete a Written Report for the given story. This will be due the following Wednesday. This is to be typed in Pages on their iPad.

Your support in reading through and discussing their report is always helpful and helps your child to know that you are interested in their learning.

Here is the link to the Behind the News website http://www.abc.net.au/btn/stories.htm

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.

A Message to My Future Self - A Huge Success

Dear Parents, I would just like to say again, thank you to all those parents that were able to come and enjoy our presentations last night. It was wonderful to have so many parents able to make it and to view the amazing work of these students. A big thank you to Alie Smith for organising the food and drinks - we couldn't have done it without you! A massive thank you to Mrs Amie Meyer for all that she has done to make this idea a reality. The success of this event has ensured that this will become an annual event at OLC and it wouldn't have been possible without Mrs Meyer's ideas and dedication to helping the students achieve. Thank you for my lovely gift and kind words, they are both appreciated. Have a wonderful day, Mrs Delane

Mass will begin at 11am and will conclude at approximately 12.15pm. A short tour of the Cathedral will follow. The purpose of this Mass is to consecrate the Oil of Chrism that is used during the Sacrament of Confirmation and bless the Oil of the Sick used for the Anointing of the Sick. The sign of Confirmation is the Oil of Chrism, the most sacred of the oils. During the Confirmation ceremony, a person is anointed on the forehead with Chrism. As the oil is absorbed by the body, it is a sign of how the confirmed person is filled with the ...
