Term 2, Week 4

Welcome everyone to week 4!

Firstly, I would just like to welcome everyone back to school! Finally the day has a arrived that we are officially back! I can’t wait to have everyone back ready to go! Hopefully there is no relapse and we can get back to normality as soon as possible.

Secondly, I hope everyone survives the first couple of weeks of Dunsborough being inundated with tourists.

Finally, I just wanted to say a big thank you and well done to all of you for the last months. Having students return with completed work that had ether been printed out or handwritten in books was amazing! The time and effort you have put into your students learning is credit to you and has made my life a lot easier.

Returning to school:

When returning to school this week please make sure that your child has all books that took home as well, as all the equipment and stationery that they may have taking home to use.

Also could any completed home learning work please be brought in.

Our Learning:

This week in class we will continue working on information reports in writing. In spelling our focus sound is ‘g’ or ‘gg’. We have just finish our mental and written strategies for addition and subtraction in maths and this week we will start to focus on written strategies for multiplication and division. Our focus and in reading in activating prior knowledge.

Week 3 Learning:

Last week in design technology and STEM last week we made a ‘Flick Flack’ as well as marble holder that had to attach to a zipline. With exceptional structure and balance, one marble holder held 79 marbles!!

Both lessons created a lot of great discussion and thoughtful thinking. Below are some photos from these lessons.
