Week 12

Our final week of Term 2 is here. It has been a loooooong term and some of our little cherubs will need a lot of rest over the holidays (so will the teachers). The time has certainly flown by and we have loved sharing in their learning journey.

School photos

On Wednesday we have our school photos. We are not sure what time our slot is but if you would like to put a brush or comb in your child's bag we can help them look super amazing for their shot. Boys wear the school jersey (not fleece). If you have a jersey, please wear it so we don't have last minute jersey swaps that mess up their flash hair.

Literacy focus

This week we will be having our home groups. We will continue to work on fluency. We need to read smoothly all the way to each full-stop. Reading fluently can help us to understand the text a bit better.

In writing, we will be continuing to make our sentences longer and more interesting. We will aim to use descriptive words and ‘because’, ‘so’ and ‘and’ to join ideas.

Maths Focus:

We will be continuing with subtraction. You can help by practicing counting backwards from any number 0-50. We also need to use our literacy skills in maths - what words tell us that the problem is subtraction? (Take away, minus left, gives, …) 

Religious Education

We will be looking at the sacrament of baptism exploring how we are welcomed into God’s family, the symbols and rituals involved. 

Reminders:

• If your child is unwell PLEASE keep them at home to help prevent the spread of germs and sickness. We have worked so hard to keep ourselves germ free since coming back to school and we would like to stay that way.

• If it is wet please can you pick up your child from the classroom. This means we are not keeping them standing around in the rain.

• The RE Art competition closes this week. The theme is Catholic Character (Mary MacKillop, symbols, Jesus, bible, ...). You can use any medium that you want - knit, paint, draw, sculpt…  Have fun! This is the final week to get your child’s entries in for the RE competition. Well done to those children who have entered already.
