WELCOME TO THE 3-6 CLASSROOM.
Wow! What a fantastic grade we have in 3-6. The week has started off well, Mrs White has been in the classroom on Tuesday and commented what a great group they are. I was in there yesterday and today and I cannot agree more. We welcome Harrison to the classroom, he has settled in well. We have worked together to determine the classroom agreement this week, which will come home soon for you to take a look at. We will begin the process for school captains next week. We are opening it up the Grade 5 as well as Grade 6. Students wishing to apply will need to nominate themselves and prepare a speech stating why they would make a good school captain.
Our Specialist program this term will consist of, Visual Arts and Performing Arts on alternate Mondays, Science on Monday, MARC Van on alternate Wednesdays and PE and cooking on Fridays (please remember to bring appropriate footwear for PE). Our cooking lessons will be aimed at healthy, fresh and tasty food, if anyone would like to come in and teach the children how to cook something along these lines please let me know.
In the initial weeks of term we will be working on reading comprehension strategies, using our reader’s notebook to write about what we are reading, narrative writing, VCOP and a focus on spelling strategies. Readers and reading diaries will be sent home and need to be filled out every night by your child/ren. Diaries will be checked on Thursdays. In Maths we will be begin with the four operations, mental maths strategies, statistics and probability. Our maths lessons will be taking on a group work/ hands on/ problem solving approach.
If anyone would like to help out in the classroom throughout the term please let Katie or myself know, we love helpers.
