Welcome to Room 11

I would like to welcome everyone to Room 11's Blog Page. Over the next 12 months you will be updated with important dates and events, relevant information, photos and news of what the students in Year 4 have been doing. 


The students have already settled into new routines.


They have been getting to know their collaboration teams and developing their roles as Gofer, Recorder, Timekeeper and Chairperson. 
They have set their group and individual goals, which they are working hard to achieve.


Important Dates For Your Diary

Friday 12th February: Australia Day Celebrations 
Come to school dressed in your Aussie colours and clothes. 
(No thongs please). 

We are collecting donations to help support the people affected by the devastating bush fires in Yarloop. 

Tuesday 16th February: Parent Information Evening


I will be holding an information evening for all parents and caregivers from 6.15 - 7.00pm. This will give you detailed information of what to expect in Year 4. I look forward to seeing you there. Please complete the letters that went home today to let me know if you are able to make it.

Motivation Book

We are no longer calling it 'Homework' in Year 4 but hope that the students will be motivated to complete set tasks during the week. These went home yesterday.
Here are copies of this week's spelling words.


Spellings Week 2 Term 1

Each group has 10 words in their books. 

Here are the extra Homophones and Challenge words for all groups:



break            creak             fir      
groan            hear        

abandoned        abominable     absconded         abstained          abundance                     

Have a go at finding out the meaning of these words and try to use them in your writing.


Have a great Term. I am looking forward to getting to know you.

Mrs Helen McIlwraith
