Term 1, week 8

Dear Year 5,

In good news to start off the week, Dunsborough Cricket Club is going to be represented in the finals next Saturday by all grades which is brilliant!! Go DCC!!

In school news, good luck to all involved in the interschool swimming carnival that will be held in Bunbury on Thursday 22nd March. It should be a great day and I can't wait to hear about how everybody put in their best effort.

Homework:
I have had some discussion with several parents about the homework over the last couple of weeks.
Specifically involving the Maths homework. If the content is too hard, please do not stress about it. Homework is already a burden to everyone's afternoon and I don't want it to cause a rift at home.
If your child is struggling with areas of the Maths, they can do it during gather time where I or another student can support and scaffold them.

For those students that are still struggling to understand what the activities for spelling are, there is a success criteria on their Onenote.
