What a hoot!!

We currently have a parliament of owls perched in our classroom.  This was a maths task where students had to follow a list of paired co-ordinates to create an unknown picture. They are looking pretty good too!

 

Student Fete

Tomorrow is our Student Fete.  Students are only allowed to bring $7.00 to spend.  You have probably already heard we are making lolly bags to sell.

We have created some posters to put on our stall and then enlarged them.

 

Some students had to perform a one minute advertisement for a special assembly, to entice other students to come purchase our lolly bags. 

 

 

 We made special advertising posters to go around the school.

 Our lolly bags had to be filled and weighed to ensure they were all the same.  We wore gloves for this so that we didn't pass on any germs.

 These hats are for our sellers to wear during the fete.

 We are looking forward to the fete, selling our lolly bags and seeing what the other classes are selling.

Books Light Up My World - Book Week

It's Book Week!!  This year's theme is 'Books Light Up My World'.  Room 17 have discussed our favorite books and why we like them.  We have then written a short book review on our coloured light bulbs and have them displayed in the classroom.  They look like party lights!!

Students have also sat their Lexile Pro test for Term 3.  It was so excited to see the results with many students improving and some even jumping to the next level!  It has also been wonderful to see so many students getting motivated and completing lots of Lexile quizzes!

 

Special Homework

We have been practising for the faction carnival and it seems our ball skills need improvement.  Therefore I have assigned some special homework for students - they must learn to throw and catch a ball.  Please help your child practise this at home.

Congratulations Certificate Winners

Our latest Certificate winners from last week are...

Armani, Chelsea S, Anya and Naveed.

Italian News

Signora Harrison recently told the students about the Italian event below.  See the photo for details.

 

Week 3 Notes

I can not believe it is already the end of week 3!!  This term is flying by and we are so busy.

Lapathon
The Lapathon is on this afternoon.  I hope students have been busy raising money.  If students raise $10 they can choose a prize from the sponsor form, go into the draw to win an iPad Mini AND you could win a family holiday to Bali!!

I'm looking forward to getting out in the sunshine today and having some fun on the oval. 

Uniform
It's great to see so many students wearing correct uniform.  This includes footwear - which should be mainly black or white, white sock, black or white laces.  Also, students should NOT be wearing jewellery or coloured hair clips and scrunchies.  Hair accessories need to be in the school colours.

Student Fete
The student fete will be on in week 6.  I'm sure your child has shared our ideas and planning with you.  On the day, students are only allowed to bring $7.00 to spend at the stalls.It will also be a dress up event so stay tuned for more information.

School App
The school now has an app that you can download to your phone to keep up to date with information.  You can also register your child's absence from school on it to save making a phone call or writing a note.

Homework
It has been disappointing to see so many students not completing their homework.  Homework includes daily reading, spelling words, times tables, Word Problem Wednesday, Talk Homework and a homework sheet. Students should also be accessing Studyladder and Lexile on the computer.

Enjoy your weekend,
Miss Calvert
