Term 4 - Week 3 & 4 😁

 Dear parents,

We have loved seeing the children settle in to Term 4 the last fortnight. We cant believe there is only 7 weeks to go until the children are in Year Three 😎😮

Just a few notes...

Homework

On Monday we will be sending home the Year Two fluency grid with this fortnights focus sounds and tricky words. Have a look at our blog post titled 'Week 4 Information' which shows you how you can use this at home to increase your child's reading fluency. We have also included all of the spelling lists for your information on the back of the fluency grid. The pink list 💓 is the target for Year Two from our InitiaLit program. Please feel free to use these lists at home to increase your child's spelling abilities. Have a look at our Fluency grids and spelling lists below to see our focus sounds 🤓



Learning Intentions

English: 

This week we are learning the sound 'ge' as in cage, 'dge' as in bridge and suffixes.  This fortnights tricky words are: though, around, interesting & shouldn't. 

Since the beginning of term, we have been reviewing what a narrative text is. We learnt in Term One
that the purpose of a narrative text is to entertain the reader. 

We are going to begin looking at our mentor text 'Little Bo Peep'. This fortnight we will be reconstructing the mentor text (orientation, build up, complication, climax, resolution & ending) and completing a cloze activity. We will then be completing a class brainstorm that we can use to magpie ideas from when we start to innovate the mentor text to create our very own version. 

Please see below our class mentor text which demonstrates what the children should be consolidating and extending on since this was taught in Term One and is a revision.




Grandparents Day - This will be celebrated on Friday 28th October so please make sure that your child has taken the time to invite their grandparents along if possible. Grandparents are invited to gather in the hall for a light afternoon tea from 1:30pm. 

At 1:50pm, grandparents are invited to visit the classrooms of their grandchildren where we will show them some of our fantastic work that we have completed over the term (similar to learning journeys).

We will then all gather in the hall at 2:30pm for an assembly. 


Important dates: 

  • Pupil Free Day - Friday, 11th November 
  • Christmas Concert - Wednesday 7th December
We hope you have a lovely first week back and please contact me if you have any questions or queries.

Kaya

 Good afternoon Parents, I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend and managed to get some rest after the massive week we had last week with the athletics carnival. I had a beautiful brunch at Meelup Farmhouse on Friday with some of the other teachers from school.  Just a few notices for the week ahead... Athletics Carnival Congratulations to  Leeuwin  on winning the Sports Carnival last Wednesday, a fine speech by our captains Cooper and Paige.  The students again showed such great enthusiasm and sportsmanship on the day and gave it their all for every game or race they participated in! What a great way to finish week 6! Open Night A big thank you to all the families who came to our open night last week (we know it was a long day after the sports carnival, so we really appreciate it).

Week 2...Yahoo!

Dear parents,  I hope you have had a great start to your week and have enjoyed hearing about our swimming adventures over the past week and a half. We have loved being down by the bay despite the cooler weather, the water has been like glass! Have a look at some of the pictures from our lessons below... Just a few messages this week... Parents in the classroom: Sadly at this stage parents are no longer able to enter into the classroom in the mornings during gathering time.  As per the government information for schools, parents must also wear face masks at school even when outside. Unfortunately, this also extends to parent teacher interviews so therefore our main port of call will be via email. Please see the previous blog post if you do not have my email address. Parent Information Night: Due to COVID requirements there will not be a parent information night this year. We will pass on the required information in another form and more information will be coming out next week....
