Term 2 Week 1

Hi everyone,

Welcome back!! I hope you've all had a relaxing break and Easter, and you're all ready for another busy term ahead.

We welcome Liam Bradley to Room 5. He is starting tomorrow which means we will have 20 children in Room 5 :)

Student Led Conference:
These are going to be held this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure you book a time that suits you on the online booking website. The link can be found in the last few newsletters.

These Conferences are led by the children and are a chance for you to see what they have been learning during Term 1. I will come and sit with each family for 5 minutes discuss any concerns that you might have. It's important to remember that the purpose of these is for your child to show their success and to be proud of them. :) There is a goal setting sheet at the back which you can filling during your conference or at home with your child. 

Once all family members have seen the Record of Learning books they will be given back to me to look after and we will add to them for the next conferences in Term 3 (if you are all happy with this format).

Upcoming Dates:
Student Led Conferences/interviews - Tuesday 21st & Wednesday 22nd
ANZAC Day Observed - Monday 27th April
School Mass - 10th May (Mother's Day)

Homework Term 2, Week 1    

•  ·      Reading for a minimum of 15 minutes every night please.
• ·      There is no maths homework this week.
• ·      Spelling will resume next week after testing has been completed to establish new spelling levels.

·      Current Events Homework Project – Week 1 & 2

As you know ANZAC day is coming up and this year it is even more special as it marks the 100 Year Anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli. Over the next two weeks I would like you to keep track of newspapers, the Internet and watch the news to gather information to create a presentation/poster/report about ANZAC day and what you have learnt. You might like to include any family connections that you may have with any of the Wars.

These will be presented in class on Friday 1^st May. If you have any issues with this, please see Miss Passmore early this week to clear up any confusion. J

Have a great week, I'll see you at your child's conference.

Jo
