Week 4, Term 1

 

Week 4 Blog Post

Wow, what a brilliant start to the year, 3H is having. It is hard to believe we are kicking into week 4. They have been working hard at taking on new routines and challenging themselves with their learning. We are so proud of their efforts.

Homework 

This week Year 3s will start their new homework program. It will include a selection of times table activities and a reading log.

 

The times table activities have been selected for each child depending on what one they are up to.

 

Children can choose their own reading book, however if they would like to take home readers, please let Paula or myself know.

 

Homework will go home every second Monday (even weeks) and is to be returned on the following Friday (odd weeks).

 

The children are asked to complete the times table sheets as well as eight nights of reading that is recorded in their reading log.

COVID Update  

Thank you, parents, for being so vigilant around the classroom with wearing masks and keeping our community safe. We are doing our best to remind the students about good hygiene, sanitising and washing hands before meals and sneezing/coughing into our elbows. A gentle reminder that if your child is unwell, please do not send them to school. 

The Education Department are encouraging students in years 3 to 6 to wear masks, however it is not mandatory, so the choice is up to the family and individual.
