Term 1, Week 9
Hi Parents and
students,
What a great
weekend to be down south! So special to be able to witness such a unique swell
direction and see the whole coastline light up. Can’t wait for the next cyclone
swell in 9 years!
Affirmation of the Week:
Camp:
I am still on
the hunt for some dad volunteers for the Year 6 camp. Let me know if you are
interested.
Chrism Mass:
Please make
sure your child has brought their permission slip into me tomorrow morning.
Some children have suggested that they have misplaced their note. I have said
to them to have Mum or Dad write a note that they give them permission to
travel by bus, to and from St Patrick’s Cathedral in Bunbury. Please refer to
the ‘Chrism Mass Blog’ for any other info.
Holy Week:
The Year 5’s
and 6’s will be presenting their part of Holy Week celebrations on Wednesday
morning at 9:00am in the hall. We will be looking at the events that occurred
on Good Friday. This means we will be looking at all the Stations of the Cross
except the Resurrection. You are more than welcome to join us.
Literacy:
Under
this section you will find the literacy learning intentions for the week.
CAFÉ-R
(Traits of good readers)
The
comprehension strategy we will be focusing on this week is visualising. Visualising
is when readers create a picture in their mind as they are reading. Readers who
can imagine the characters or the setting they read about become more involved
in what they are reading and thus, makes for a more meaningful reading
experience.
Voices (Traits of good writers)
Last week, we
began to explore poetry. We have looked at the different elements of poetry. We
will now investigate structure, rhythm and rhyme, and figurative language.
Numeracy
Under
this section you will find the Numeracy learning intentions for the week.
This week, we
are investigating units of length.
Home Learning Grid:
You will be
able to find a copy of the ‘Week 9/10’ home learning grid under our home
learning folder in One Note. All students will receive a hard copy to glue into
their exercise books.
Please ensure
your child is organised and staying on top of their Home learning Grid through
regular discussions and checks. Please feel free to contact me if you require
any clarification regarding the grid.
Due to the
Easter Weekend, I don’t expect the students to complete everything on their
grid. I would say that it equate to 1 week’s worth of home learning.
Enjoy the week
and have a great Easter long weekend!
Mr Jones
