Monarch Community Report
We welcome Jessica Duncan to our team as our learning specialist. Jessica will work alongside our teachers and students. We are looking forward to working with Jessica.
In Literacy we have been reading the book 'Holes'. It is a fictional text that we have been using to develop our ability to ask questions and summarise what we have read.
We have looked at:
- Thin and Thick questions
- Literal questions
- Inferential questions
- Remembering questions
- Understanding questions
During our writing sessions we have been researching life cycles, scientific events and how or why something can work. We then wrote explanations reports of our research to show our learning.
In Numeracy we have been learning about multiplication. We have been learning about factors and multiples. We have also been learning about prime and composite numbers.
Friendly Reminders
Please remember:
- It is important to have a water bottle each day and that it is labelled.
- Please ensure your children are attending school as ‘It is not ok to be away’.
- Students complete 15 minutes of reading and 15 minutes of numeracy home work each night.
- Students are to record their home reading in their school diaries with a signature. This needs to be returned to school each day.
- Brain Food is fruit or vegetable snacks that children may eat in class. It is important to include this as an additional snack in their lunch box.
We look forward to another great term in Monarch!
