Term 2

Welcome back to the start of an exciting term. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Thank you to all those students who worked hard on their Geography projects. I have certainly enjoyed watching the children present them confidently to the class. 

Our first 'Student Of The Week' was James. Congratulations on all your hard work during your first week back. 

The Year Level Challenge results from Term 1 were revealed during Friday's assembly. We are proud to announce that Halle and Aaryan both made it within the top five of all Year 4 students. Aaryan also received an award for gaining an outstanding 100%.

This term we will be looking for those students who make most progress. Good Luck. 

We would like to welcome Miss Lupini to Room 11. Miss Lupini is a 2nd Year Student from Notre Dame and will be working with groups of children and teaching some Literacy and Maths during Term 2. We are extremely lucky to have her with us. We hope you come in to say hello. 

Finally, please ensure your child is completing their homework and to a high standard. It is important that they present their work at home as they would in class. On a Monday they will receive spellings and an activity based on what is being covered in class. These are due in on Friday. Try to encourage your child to find the definitions of our challenge words and even use them within sentences. Many students are also working hard on Study Ladder activities and completing Literacy Pro Quizzes. Keep up the great work. 

The theme for our Big Write this week is persuasive writing, based on 'Why my Mum deserves an award'. Start thinking of your ideas, reasons to support your arguments and wonderful describing words. 

Enjoy the rest of your week.
