I'm back!!!

I thought I had better get back on the blog as it has been a while and I'm sure you must be wondering what's going on 😊.
We are right back in the thick of it now in week 4 of term 3. The students have been studying poems and are currently writing a poetry analysis, which is quite tricky stuff I can tell you. They are amazing me with their prowess and effort. We are also learning to structure paragraphs using the TEEL method, which means Topic sentence, Explain, Elaborate and Link.

In maths we are learning to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division using the right to left strategy. Again, your children are soooo clever because they are getting the hang of this very quickly.

This week we have Lapathon on Friday, so keep up that fundraising. Three of our boys, Cody.I, Sam and Jayden, are in the Junior Rugby League Development Cup competition on Friday and we wish them all the best. A try each for Mrs Heard, please boys 🏉. On Monday, Sera, Dom, Cody.G and Ellyah participated in the UNSW English Competition. I know they will have done their best and the results should be back before the end of term.

You will have received the NAPLAN results for your child today, which will hopefully give you similar information to what the report card gave you. Always remember that NAPLAN is a point in time test and that what we see of the whole child over a longer period and regularly is far more important.
