T4 Weekly 2

Dear Parents,

Room 2 is really picking up speed as we head into the final term of the year. No doubt you will have seen our term calendar in the newsletter and noticed just how many things are on, -it really is an exciting time. In Room 2 we have been discussing the importance of personal responsibility and independent organisation as part of the lead into Year 4 next year. Yes, the junior school years are almost over and we join the BIG kids. To aid this, Room 2 has made up independent get ready charts for the children to use by themselves to be prepared for events in their day. As part of homework this week you may like to discuss the routines and expectations that you have as a family. This may be chores around the house, routines before and after school or sporting commitments.
Our Globalisation topic is well underway. I would like to thank those parents who attended our trip to the Diwali performance, and also those who have dropped in items from Asia for our topic table. Our table display is growing quickly and we are keen to see new items from anywhere in Asia. At the moment we have some things from China, India and Malaysia.
Have you got anything at your house?
A reminder that this term that results of basic fact and spelling testing will be in the end of year report. It’s a good time to make sure that your child is participating in the weekly Mathletic challenge and completing weekly spelling practice.
Enjoy the long weekend this week

Regards Deborah Gosnell
