More STARS

Well done this week to Ashleigh, Avan and Juliana - you are all working very hard and learning lots! "I'm proud of you, keep it up" says Mrs Hawkins. Ashleigh can read lots of words, Avan can hear sounds in words when he's writing and Juliana is writing words in her stories all by herself!

From Juliana's Family

We would like to invite you to a shared BBQ at Juliana's house on Saturday 4th April from 4pm. The whole class & their families are invited.

Can you HELP?

Next term we are going to be learning about 'Communities' and will investigate bee communities as well as our own school community. Do you know anyone that keeps bees and would be willing to come and talk to us...show us photos or videos of their bees...that we could interview (in person/by phone/email)? Do you have anything else that might help us plan/teach this? Please let me know if you can help.

Look at the Links...

I've added a link (on the right hand side under LINKS) to a variety of websites with appropriate games and activities for children to use. I have checked out these sites, but would always recommend you supervise your child when they are working on the internet.
The links are sorted according to the curriculum area they support.
More links will be added over time, so keep on looking........

Stars of the Week...

Congratulations this week to Jamie and J...

for their effort and behaviour in the classroom. Well done boys, you are trying hard, concentrating and getting your work done well. Keep it up!

25 Nights!

Another super reader reaches 25 nights...well done Jamie. Now you're on your way to 50.......

'Extra 4 Experts' Maths game

Click here for a fun game to encourage children to remember their basic facts...my suggestion is to select 5 as the number to work on - the link will take you there. Then try to 10 later on when they are quick and confident working to 5. Simply fire the ball at the number you need to add to the one in the middle to make 5 (ie: 0 and 5, 1 and 4, 2 and 3 etc) Sounds confusing, but easy when you play it! Enjoy.

Busy learners of Room 2

Today we celebrate with some more busy learners...this week Angela, Harrison and Benjamin have been working very hard - Angela gets quickly and quietly to her work, Harrison can join groups of things together and count them all to find out how many altogether, and Benjamin can hear and record sounds in the words of his story by himself! We are proud of you all!

More join the '25 nights' readers club....

Well done Angela, Avan and Juliana - you've joined the '25 nights' reader's club. Keep on reading!.......
