HOMEWORK REMINDER

Remember, one term until you hit Year 4 so we really have to work hard to be ready 😎  Each week night your homework is:

  • Take-home reading (and have it signed for the next day)

  • Spelling list words (for test every second Friday)

  • Maths Learning your skip-counting and times tables (2x, 5x, 10x, 3x, 4x…)

  • Maths Practising counting on and back from anywhere in 2s, 5s, 10s

  • Maths Practise telling the time – digital and analogue

  • Maths Talk with your parents about money: how much something costs, which coins you’d use to pay for it and how much change you’d get

  • Go online and work on Study Ladder – Maths and Literacy (coming soon)

Choose at least one of the Maths activities each night and of course, you can do any of the activities on Dolphinkids at any time! 🙂

Don’t forget that you need to bring things to sell in your Trash and Treasure shops every second Monday morning.  (Not this week, but the following week).

Macroinvertebrates

Tracey went to a lot of trouble to bring in the macroinvertebrates last week.  She said that the wetland had changed since we’d been there, with all the rain.  I love the way every one of you participated in this activity.  The water looked so clear and empty, yet you found SO many different macroinvertebrates.  I saw so many people having good discussions and using the book well to identify their creatures.  Well done, everybody! 😎

 

QUIZ

Check out the quiz made a couple of years ago by typing in the search bar “animal quiz” then ‘read more’.  These are the same template as the jeopardy game we will play back at school and try to make our own next term.  Have fun. 🙂

Happy Holidays Super Sleuths

It was wonderful to see how well you all worked in your detective teams on Friday.  I saw kids working as teams, using the different strengths each of you had.  Some people decoded really well and others were fast and able to solve riddles well.  Scarlet, thank you for your appreciation – that is just one of the reasons why you were “Aussie of the Term”!  Happy holidays.  Mrs Veary 😎
