“Hello….is it me you’re looking for?”

I’m sure you have been awaiting this Newsletter with bated breath!!!

 

Welcome Back! What a fantastic start to the new year.

 

We have been very impressed with the enthusiasm and confidence the students have displayed entering the Middle School for 2018. We have lots of exciting things happening in Term 1 so be sure to read on for further detail. We are looking forward to seeing you next week at the Parent Teacher interviews where you will have the chance to let us know anything about your child. The following week we will be having a Parent Information Night where we get to explain some of the things you might like to know about the Middle School and what we will be doing in 2018.

In READING this week, we have been learning how to make connections between ourselves and the books that we read.

During WRITING his week, we have been looking at different persuasive texts and how they are organised. We have also began writing some of our own persuasive arguments.

Our first topic for MATHS this year is Place Value. We have been looking at different number and practicing how to read them.

This week we kicked off our INQUIRY topic. We have been looking at the different levels of government and the areas they are responsible for.

Our focus in SPELLING is:

  • Grade 3: The digraph /er/ making the sound ‘er’ as in fern.

  • Grade 4: The quadgraph /augh/ making the sound “or” as in daughter AND The Digraph /au/ making the sound “or” as in sauce

The PITW key concept we have been focusing on this week is treating others the way we would like to be treated.

  • Don’t forget to sign up for Parent Teacher Interviews by February 20th!
  • Wear suitable attire on Fridays for Triskills (shorts under dresses for girls)

Triskills are back! This week we learnt about the different shapes we can make and about the various safety landings in gymnastics. We also practiced a range of different ways we can jump using equipment.
