Week 5 Term 3

-

 Book Week

The Book Week dress-up parade was on Friday 20th August.  The students looked fantastic and a big thank you to all the parents and carers for putting together their costumes.

 

No Trash Tuesday

In accordance with our school’s Sustainability plan, our goal is to significantly reduce our school’s waste.  No Trash Tuesday is an initiative which encourages students and families to take a mindful approach to reducing the waste we produce.  Packing a lunchbox with no waste is both environmentally friendly and responsible. 

 

Tip:  Try to use re-usable containers rather than bringing pre-packaged items.     

 

 

Literacy

Phonics

We have been working on split digraphs that using the bossy e such as a-e as in cake. The bossy e makes the vowel say its name. 

 

We have also learnt the digraph ai as in rain and ay as in tray.

 

Writing

This term we have been learning about persuasive text. A persuasive text is used to convince someone of your idea and reasons why you are for against something. Examples may include letters, speeches and debates. Children need to state if they agree or disagree and give three reasons including evidence. 

 

Reading- The following is a free app where parents can download decodable books to read at home.

Little Learners Love Literacy.

This app is free until the 13th of September.

 

Maths

Our focus has been addition and subtraction as well as identifying the place value of numbers of two digit number.  

 

Technology and Enterprise

Students will soon be making plans to make a wind chime and sun catcher. This project will be completed in class.  Further information regarding the collection of materials will be sent home in the coming weeks.

Home Learning In wake of the recent events, the Education Department has set up an online site called 'Learning at Home,' for those at home during these times. Resources are available across all Year Levels and many Learning Areas . You can access the site from this link here https://www.education.wa.edu.au/learning-at-home Furthermore, I encourage all children to continue to read books from home every night. Keep up with the reading; as much as possible. It is so important. Please also log into Studyladder – https://www.studyladder.com.au/ . This website has a variety of Literacy and Numeracy activities that are linked to what we have been learning this Term in Room 28. The student’s passwords will be posted on the emailed to each parent as well as glued into the side of their Practice Time book, if they have been at school. Check in regularly at the WGPS blog and Room 28’s blog as we are currently investigating some other useful sites and resources for home learning....
