Weekly Notices

Hi everyone, sorry this is so late, I was sick on Sunday and Monday but here is the outline for the rest of the week....

*No sausage sizzle this Friday!!!!!
If our kids want to bring $2, I will get them hot chips and sauce for lunch instead.

*Cross Country is for Year 3-6 only!  Our Cross Country will be later in the term.

*Mass on Friday at 9am - Pentecost.  All families are welcome to attend.

*Writing - we are writing retells this week about the Pentecost story.

*Reading - I am finishing off the Running Records, our kids are doing so well.  Keep up that lovely home reading and please ensure you are reading to your children as much as possible.  We are great role models and we can show our kids what good reading sounds like.

*Maths - this week we are finishing our unit on skip counting.  There is lots of maths that goes with skip counting eg doubles, halves, evens, odds, 10's groupings etc.  Some practice while in the car or the bath or at bed time would be super.  We are using it to solve problems like:
Makenna had 5 friends to her party.  Each friend had their hair in 2 ponytails.  How many pony tails were there altogether.

2,4,6,8,10
The kids sometimes need to draw a picture or use some materials to help them keep their counting ordered.  Some will simply know that 5 groups of 2 or 5x2=10.  That's great too.

*Golden Time: We will definitely do our recycled pencil holders this Friday.  There will be no assembly so we will have plenty of time.  Please send in any old buttons, fabric, beads, feathers etc so we can make them amazing!

Have a great week.
Annie
