TERM 4     WEEK 1

I hope you are having a great break and your child has managed some time to do reading!

This term we have swimming as our physical education focus. Your child will need to bring their togs everyday in the even weeks of the school term. We start week 2.
Our swimming lessons really focus on water confidence and water safety at this age.

For the first few weeks we will be reciting some prayers used in the rosary.
We will learn these at prayer time.
The junior team will host rosary week 1 Thursday at 8:45 in the school hall, all welcome.

For reading this term it is essential that the children who have been here all last term know the  sight words on their list and are reading daily. 
Reading is our main focus this term and our follow up activities will always reinforce what the different reading groups learning goals are.

Remember your holiday reading logs and to bring them back to school week 1!

Library is still Mondays.

For writing we will continue to work on our independence and finding words off the word cards but also attempting unfamiliar words.

In Mathematics we have 2 groups. One is working on learning to read, say and recognise numbers to 10. Also to know their patterns of 5. To count back from 10 and know what numbers come before and after.
One group is working on counting to 20 and on, count backwards from 20, make sets of 10 and beginning to add and subtract to make a sum of 10.

In week 2 we have our class assembly all welcome:-)
 This is at 2:05 on Friday. 
Your child will be showing some great art work and performing a song for the school!
Please come along and support us!

Enjoy the last few days of the holidays and I will see you and your beautiful children soon.

Here are some photos of our church visit. We are learning how to bless ourselves when entering church and listening to God when we are here.


God Bless,
