Week 4, Term 3

We celebrated Saint Mary Mackillop's feast day on Friday and I was proud of how well the class behaved during the mass. Well done kids!
We did take two trips to visit the church during the week. This helped the children to understand and practice some church protocols.
We took photos of some significant icons in the church. Show your child these photos and see if they can tell you what they are or what they mean.

You will notice that your child is registered with the online literacy programme-reading eggs.
Your child has a login and this and parent information on reading eggs, is pasted in the homebook.
 This is a fantastic reading resource so please start using it!

This week we welcome three new children to room 10! We are sure they will fit right in and I have explained to the class that they will be important role models for our 'newbies'.

Last week I did some preliminary testing and this coming week I will be doing some testing also.

Please keep up the reading each night AND go over the words from list one read and then spell (pasted in the homebooks).

Golden Time -this week is movie and popcorn! Movie is "UP"

Some children are having to be reminded about keeping their hands to themselves and not calling out in class. Please help your children by reminding them of our golden rules, thanks.

Have a great week everyone, and your children are off to a great start-clever little bunch:-)
