Week 2, Term 2

Hello everyone,

This week's activities include:

Monday - Netball coaching
Tuesday - Ukulele and swimming
Wednesday - Netball coaching
Thursday - Netball coaching and swimming

Homework for this term includes:

20 minutes reading each night - please check your child has recorded this in their reading diary.

Spelling Alive - writing out their 5 words each night

Times Tables - this term's maths focus is multiplication and division. Children should begin learning the 2x,5x and 10x tables then move onto the 3x,4x,6x,7x,8x and 9x. At school, we are learning to make and divide sets, and find quick ways to solve equations. But I strongly encourage you to help your child rote learn their tables so they know them instantly. Say them, write them, sing them, whatever it takes!




I see that many of you have started an EPIC account. This is a fabulous app that we are using in class. It has hundreds of books that the children can read or listen to. As a class, we have read 800 books so far!!!!

The children also have login and password details for Mathletics and Studyladder. These are pasted in their reading diaries.

Have a great week
Regards

Sports Uniform

School Sports Uniform

Just like summer or winter uniform, the sports uniform needs to be correct please.
School sports tee-shirt, green track pants and either school jersey, polar fleece or tracksuit top if your child has one.  If you don't have these items please wear either the full summer or winter uniform and bring appropriate shoes for netball.
We want to look smart in our uniforms.
