Welcome Back!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.  I know some of you enjoyed a holiday away from home and I was delighted to hear the excitement from those who managed to get out and about our beautiful city. We certainly enjoyed some fantastic weather.

This term will be a busy one.

History

We will begin our term with some lessons on Anzac Day.  The children were asked to design a war medal and complete questions describing their choice for design.  These are displayed at the back of the classroom amongst other activities about Anzac Day.

We will commence an investigation on the Perth Bell Tower and the Perth Mint in the coming weeks.  We have some exciting things planned for this term.

Science

We will be looking at Living and Nonliving things and discovering life cycles of different animals and plants. Be sure to come and see our ‘I wonder’ wall where the children will be encouraged to pose questions about these topics.

We have some mealworms to observe and we will be growing and observing the growth of broad beans. 

Studyladder

You will have received a letter outlining the use of Studyladder.  This online resource is free to use.  The children will be allowed to complete 3 tasks per day. There is an option to buy extra use of the website however this is not necessary and is completely optional.  I have set tasks for all students individually to allow them to revise and consolidate concepts we have covered in first term.  I will monitor student’s use of the program and set further tasks when required.

Assembly

Please be aware that our class will be taking assembly on Friday in Week 3.
