Inquiry: As we deep dive into our new unit of inquiry, discuss with your family members what forces are and where do we see them occur in our daily lives. For example, think about what happens when we open or close a door.
Mathematics: Continue to revise your multiplication facts.
You may like to use your timetables app on your iPad for this.
Year 3: 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s
Year 4: all facts - start with those that you are least confident with.
You can also create flash cards with unknown facts to practice with daily.

Messenger app
We would like to bring to your attention that several students have been involved in group chats on Messenger, and we have received screenshots containing inappropriate language and comments. We will be conducting spot checks to ensure that these group chats are not present in the app.
We kindly ask for your support in monitoring this at home as well.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Blessings for the week ahead,
Chelsie Riches, Jade Fielke and Cloe Richardson
