Final Term 1 News

No Jolly Grammar this week as finishing things off.

Maths – We finished off investigating money. We also did some problem solving situations about How Much popcorn and Easter eggs we might have. These tasks are to get the children using number strategies we have worked on over the term eg doubles, tallies, skip counting etc. Your child should bring home their bag of coins today.

Handwritng this week was to write 4-6 sight words in their diary that they need to learn to spell over the holidays.

Writing – We had our first go at writing a persuasive text. The children did an amazing job at convincing others to buy our popcorn on Enterprise day.

Science – Last week we did an investigation about ice. In partners, with room 14, we placed our ice cubes around the school. We discovered ice melts quicker outside in the sun than in the shade or inside. This week we looked at the popping corn before and after we heated it. We also discussed whether or not it could be changed back…… some interesting reasons……

Enterprise Day –  Thanks to our parent helpers. Our stall raised $33. Maybe next time we should charge 50c.

Sharing – Next term we change days for sharing. Mon – orange, Tues – yellow, Wed – green, Thurs –  blue and Fri – red. Week 1 sharing will be holiday happenings. Odd weeks for sharing next term…. Topics will be on blog next term.

What a great term!! Thanks for the amazing parent support. Enjoy the holiday with your family. See back on the Tuesday of week 1. Monday is a pupil free day.
