Term 4, Week 5

Welcome to Week 5. Various testing is taking place for both Year 3 and Year 4. We are doing a writing assessment across the school in order for staff to internally moderate our students’ writing. STAR Reading Comprehension tests have mostly been completed for Years 3-8. I will be doing Maths testing for the Year 4’s on Wednesday, and an up-to-date spelling test will also happen in Room 4 soon. I promise there’ll be lots of brain food sessions in between all this hard work!

Hampers
There are boxes in the office foyer for donations of goods for hampers. Room 4’s box is for bottles (alcohol free please). If you could possibly start getting these in it would be much appreciated.

Thyme Festival:
Room 4 will join Room 3 tomorrow (Tuesday) at 12:00 to head down and enjoy the Thyme Festival Lunchtime Concert. We will take our lunches (weather permitting) then look around the activities on offer, including the children's Art Exhibition. Are there some parents able to accompany us to this event please?
On Thursday the whole school will be performing at the lunchtime concert.  We will be singing 3 songs from the musical. There's A Party Here Tonight, Not All It's Cracked Up To Be and Happy Ever After.  

Homework:
Thank you for the feedback on homework. There continues to be a range of different needs for different students, so it is good to know what is working well and what isn’t. I will give a reading task, maths task, and spelling task each week. Organisation is the most important part of it.

Have a great week.

Markelle.
