Week 4 News

Reminders

Monday is a Public Holiday for the EKKA, there will be no school.

Please return home readers on Tuesdays and Fridays for changing.  To have your reader changed, it must be signed off on the parent signature page.

The Book Character Parade will be on the10th of August at 9.30am in the Hall.  Children are encouraged to arrive at school dressed up as their favourite book character.  Children are expected to change into their school uniform once the parade is over.

Sight Words

We ask that you do not mark the children's sight word books.  We will mark the books each week.  Could you please ensure to continually go over all the popcorn words, even the ones that are marked as known, as children forget very quickly.  Thank you for your cooperation.



Workshops
This week our big book in reading workshops was The Jigaree. Ask your child to tell you one thing a Jigaree can do.  In reading and writing workshops we have explored the ng sound and phonologically, we are learning to segement and blend CVC words.  In Maths workshops we are learning about the number 3 and its name (three). Our investiagtion this week has been about collecting data.  Students had to explore the bestway to collect datato answer the inquiry question - 'Who is Prep White's favourite book character?'.

Unit Work

We are working on our English Unit 'Who is it?'  This week the children choose their own character and wrote three clues.  Next week student's will present their clues and we will have the chance to guess 'Who Is It?'. We explored the season of Summer in Science and created some amazing art work.  Look on Twitter for photos of our creations.

Religion

We have started our unit Hereos of the Bible.  This week we looked at the story of Joseph and why he is a hero.  Ask your child how they can be a hero like Joseph?

Our Value this week is Inclusion.
