Sea Week Exhibition:
Wer’e off to the Sea Week Exhibition again,
this time with the whole class. We have been invited to a special DVD screening
tomorrow afternoon between 1.30 and 2.30 pm at Community House. If anyone is
available to walk with us, leaving from school at 1.20, please give me a call.
Haiku
Competition: As part
of Sea Week the children all wrote a Haiku poem, which is a 3-line poem on a
theme. It has 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line,
and 5 syllables in the last line. Most of the children then had to quickly
provide an illustration of their poem for me to photograph, to send in with
their haiku. By the end of Friday I had just managed to get them all away for
those who wanted to enter. Wouldn’t it be exciting to win something? Entries
will be posted on the Sea Week Facebook page, so you could even check them out.
World Day of Prayer Service:
I had about five comments from parishioners
about how wonderful it was to have the children from Room 4 and the choir at
the World Day of Prayer service on Friday morning. They all said how
beautifully the children sang and what a lift it brought to the service. Well
done everyone!

Spelling Homework
There will be a change to Spelling homework
for the rest of the term. Five words will be given each week. The children will
be required to highlight the part of the word that we are focusing on (for
example, this week it is suffixes), and also to put each word into a sentence
to explain it’s meaning.
Spelling lists will be worked on in class rather than at home, to ensure
that Spelling Alive tools including sound lines and conducting lines are being
completed correctly. If you particularly want spelling lists to continue coming
home over the next few weeks, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Thank you for your support with this.
Have a great week.
Regards, Markelle Ward J
