Term 2, Week 4


Welcome to week 3,

NAPLAN:
Last week the students completed two of the four NAPLAN assessments. I was impressed with their concentration and persistence through the writing and reading tests.
This Wednesday and Thursday we have the Language Conventions and Numeracy assessments. Please make sure that your child has their iPad and it is significantly charged.

Bright Paths PD
Just a reminder that on Friday 24th May, there will be a pupil free day as the teacher's will be involved in a Bright Paths PD.

Homework:
If your child is struggling with some of the concepts in their maths homework, please get them to come and see me during gathering time in the morning. We have 15 minutes every morning where I can go through some of the work 1 on 1.

Book fair:
The book fair will be held in the library this week on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd of May.
The students do get very excited at this time, could you please remind them that they must be in the class by 8:40 and their purchases must be put in their bags before coming to class.

Homework:

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