Term Three Weekly 2

We are increasing our focus on basic facts and vocabulary after analysing our Numeracy and Literacy data. Please support your child with making sure they complete their timed basic facts challenge, we are endeavouring to increase the accuracy and speed of our basic facts. The vocabulary box is a chance to brainstorm as many words that you can use instead of the one written. This weeks word is said, I am expecting students to write at least 5 other words they could use –eg, whispered, shouted. It is an open ended activity and each week children will be challenged to think outside the square. Some weeks will focus on the meanings of words, chunks or word endings or like this week, words you can use instead. I have also added more detail to our reading log and an opportunity to record how often your child achieves 1000points on Mathletics. Let me know how it goes and what you think of our new format.

Room 2 also thought that it would be a good idea to post our school stationery list so that we can check it from home.
