NAPLAN
We are fast approaching NAPLAN season (week 7). We encourage families to speak with their child about the upcoming tests, ease any anxious feelings and share any concerns with their classroom teacher.
During NAPLAN, students must use'plug in' headphones. No Bluetooth / wireless headphones will be permitted. Students must also have the lock down browser installed on their device as per information sent home previously.
BYOD
Well done to those students who are participating in the BYOD program. Classrooms are no longer resourced with devices outside those assigned to specific students. As a result, student learning is impacted if devices are not at school each day and charged. Please also ensure parental locks and permissions are all set accordingly to allow the device to be used appropriately at school.
HOMEWORK
A focus of Year 5 is developing speed and fluency with multiplication facts. Students are encouraged to learn their multiplication and division facts to support them with other areas of Mathematics as the year progresses.
Reading each night is an ongoing expectation. Reading can be tracked in students' diaries or through Epic.
Happy Snaps...
Clean Up Australia Day, Prep Buddies and teamwork building.
