Welcome Back to Term 2

Welcome back for another fantastic term. We hope you had a lovely Easter break.

Literacy

Week 1 

The phonics focus for this week in literacy has been double consonants, ll, ff, ss, zz. Children learnt that when we read a double consonant i.e. 'ss' we just make the one sound i.e. hiss h-i-ss. Our sight words for Week 1 - they, and, were.

Week 2  

We are focusing on  Consonant-Vowel-Consonant words i.e. cat, leg, big. We are also learning about nouns - nouns are naming words for a person, place or thing.  Week 2 sight words - on, was, her.

Numeracy

This week we have started to learn about volume. We focused on the language of volume including more than, less than, full and empty. We also learnt about the different ways of making 4 ie 2 and 2 more,  3 and 1 more ,  4 and 0 more.

Mothers day stall

Our wonderful P&C are holding their annual mothers day stall until Friday 10th May. Located outside of the BER learning center and in the undercover area in the mornings from 8:15am-8:45am and in the afternoons from 3:05pm-3:35pm. Gifts range from $1 -$7. Raffle tickets are $2 for the hamper.

'Dress Fancy Day'

A note has come home regarding free dress for Friday 10th May. Children who participate need to bring in a gold coin donation to go towards the year 6 fundraiser.

STEM

On our first day back this term, we completed a STEM challenge. The students had to work in pairs to build a bridge from Lego. The bridge had to be long enough to cross the river, and wide and strong enough to hold a Lego person. We had so much fun making our bridges. 

Room 3 and Room 5 Assembly

Room 3 and Room 5 will be presenting the Junior Assembly on Friday 17th May. The theme for our assembly is road safety, so students need to bring a helmet as part of their costume, and where bright coloured clothes. Some children will have a speaking part at the Assembly. If your child has a speaking part, they will bring it home in their reading file. Please help them to learn to say their part without reading.
