Week 5

Wow half way through the term already! Where has the time gone?

This week in maths we have been focusing on our number knowledge. We have been learning to write numbers in the 100's (e.g. 123, 235). We have also been learning our "friends of 5" facts (2+3=5, 4+1=5, 5+0=5, 1+4=5 etc.).

It would be wonderful if you practiced these at home this week. You might go for a walk and read the numbers on mail boxes, practice in your homework book, or make a game to help you remember. I am looking forward to seeing how creative you can be!

We have been talking a lot this week about managing ourselves. In the mornings it is our responsibility to bring our book bag inside, unpack it, and choose a new book from our buzz box. In class we manage ourselves by listening to the speaker, starting work quickly and quietly, and always trying our best. We also manage ourselves by eating at the right time (not eating all our lunch before school),and going to the toilet at break times. There are lots of ways we manage ourselves at home and school, talk about the way you manage yourself with someone in your family.

I have LOVED seeing your homework books this week, so many people are practicing their essential words! We had a spelling test yesterday and I was very impressed with the amount of words you could spell. I will put these in your learning portfolios so we can see how many words you learn to spell throughout the year.

Have a great week!
