Wow, what a busy week…and it looks as though it’s going to stay busy until the until of term!

Thanks to all the parents for coming to parent/teacher interviews. It was great to have the opportunity to chat with you about your child and the progress they have made so far this term.

Enterprise Day– Our Up cycled crafts are really coming along! Students have been putting in lots of effort with their group crafts. Thanks again to the parents who have come in to help with this. Next weeks craft sessions will be on Tuesday and Wednesday at 2pm. Hopefully we will then have them all finished! If you are able to help at either of these sessions, please let me know.

Some students in our class are also going to work with Simone (librarian) on Enterprise Day to sell ‘Healthy wraps’. On the morning of Enterprise Day, Room 12 will be helping to make the wraps in preparation to sell that afternoon. If anyone has any contacts for vegetables, cold meat or wraps, please let me know.

I’ve had a couple of parents volunteers already who would like to help on Enterprise day at our class stall. If anyone is wanting to help out with the wraps in the morning or with the stalls during Enterprise Day, please just let me know. Thanks

Notes– This week we have an Easter presentation on Thursday at 2pm. If students could please return their permission slips for this by Wednesday, that’d be great. Attendance for this is not compulsory and there will be a teacher in one of the 3/4 or 4 classrooms with any students who don’t bring back notes or have permission to attend.

Some students have not returned their Learnlink notes yet, if these could please be returned ASAP that would be greatly appreciated. If students have lost their note, they can ask for another at the front office.

On Friday afternoon we have our Science Incursion. A note went home about this last week and there is a small cost of $8.50. Could students please return this note with their money by Thursday this week.

Spelling– This week students will have no new words to learn. On Friday I will be testing them on all the words they have had this term. This will give me insight into who is memorising their words just for the tests each week and who is actually doing their spelling homework properly, focusing on the tricky parts of their words and creating connections between other words they know with similar visual patterns or sounds.

Passion Projects– Students demonstrated excellent progress with their projects in our latest computer room research lesson this week. We are working towards a week 11 Tuesday due date at this stage, to be confirmed by Friday this week. Your child needs to keep working on these at home when possible. Please encourage them with their time management.
