Reminders

Next week is planning week, so please remember that all specialists will be on one day.

We would also like to remind students and families that as we go into the warmer months, it is important to bring a drink bottle, and hats must be worn outside. 

Some other important dates to be mindful of coming up before the end of the Term 4 are:

Portfolios

Portfolios will be going home on Monday to showcase all the hard work our students have produced this term. Please take the time to look through the samples and celebrate your child’s achievements. Portfolios do not need to be returned to school.

Mathematics

This term, we have revisited the concept of sharing (division) by posing open-ended questions. Our students were given a scenario in which they had to show all the different ways they could evenly share their counters. The examples below show students helping their teacher to evenly share 12 and/or 24 pizzas onto trays.

Literacy

We have been continuing our narrative writing, including our weekly suitcase provocation. Our most recent 'minibeasts' suitcase small world resulted in very creative and detailed stories. We are so proud of the progress our students have continued to make in their writing this term!

Swimming

Our P-2 students had a lot of fun completing their two-week swimming program recently. We are very proud to say that they represented Pascoe Vale North Primary's school values while in the community by showing respect to the staff and other swimmers, responsibility by taking care of themselves and their belongings, and persistence in learning new skills at the pool.
