Please tell your parents you will be presenting your animal PowerPoint on Wednesday 2nd September starting at 9am. Following the presentations we will have a shared morning tea.

Homework Week 5

There will be no homework or home reading this week.

I have asked the children to read for fun. They will be tested on their spelling words on Thursday but they can choose how they learn their words this week. They will also be given bonus dojos if they can recite The Ten Commandments on Thursday.

 Australia Zoo excursion is on Wednesday. Don't forget the bus leaves at 7.30am sharp.
Please get to school by 7.15am at the latest to allow a toilet stop and time to mark the roll and get everyone on board and ready to leave on time. The children will be carrying their food with them all day so please keep this in mind when packing their lunch. ( Please do not send any lollies or chocolates [unless they are for the teachers] - a normal healthy lunch would be great)

The children are allowed to bring cameras but must take full responsibility for them. There will be no electronic devices allowed on the bus or during the day. The bus will be time to look at the scenery and chat - not play.

The children will not be allowed in the shops to buy food or souvenirs so please do not send any money. 

Formal School Uniform with a hat is essential.

Only a few more sleeps :)

Good News

There will be no spelling test next week(28th) to give you extra time to prepare for your Book Report.

Book Reports

Book reports need to be completed this week (18th -22nd May) as they will all be presented on the 28th May. This will allow you time to practice presenting your talk to your family and to prepare palm cards if you need them.

 This will be for assessment purposes and will go toward your end of semester report for speaking and listening.

 You are allowed to use palm cards but will not be permitted to read from the sheet as you did with the practice talk. 

You can bring in props / book if you wish. You may choose any book to do your book talk on but it must not be from the same author as last time and must be at a year 3 level.
