General Information & Reminders

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to Term 3. We hope you’ve all had a great break. We have lots of exciting learning experiences planned for the second half of this year and encourage parents to speak with their children about the learning that is taking place in class. As always, please don’t hesitate to speak to see your child’s classroom teacher with any questions you may have. 

A new homework grid will be sent out during Week 3. An exciting project-based activity will be sent home toward the end of the term. Please also remember to continue with the following when this commences:

• Regular independent reading to promote enjoyment and interest. (Please remember to sign your child’s diary to confirm they have read to you at least once during the week).
• Gaining fluency in the recall of multiplication facts - 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x and beyond, depending on understanding and ability and how they relate to division.
• Practice of weekly spelling words (this may be verbal or handwritten)
• This term we would like the students to spend at least 20 minutes on Matific each week to reinforce the learning that has taken place in the class. Please note, this additional 20 minutes is not necessary if they have chosen the Matific task on the homework grid. Their login details are in their diaries.

Homework is due on Tuesdays and diaries will be checked on Thursdays.

Warmest Regards,

Helen, Madi, Aedan and Debra.
