Term 1, Week 6

Room 4 Newsletter:  Term 1, Week 6

Sunday 6th March, 2016

Thank you to the Room 3 and 4 students who participated in the role-play of the ‘Prodigal son’ at the Parish Family Mass on Saturday evening. I was so proud of them presenting this item after only two practises with Roly during the week. They practised excellent oral language skills including reading/speaking in front of an audience (the congregation), using a microphone, working together to share parts, and using expression in their voice. Well done Keira, Annajhay, Nicolas, Adam, and David, and to Bobbie, Rhianna and Jacqui who did a great job of bobbing up and down with the signs!
Room 3 and 4 children also did the Prayers of the Faithful and Offertory at the Mass. J

Important dates coming up:
*Monday–Thursday this week: PAT testing for all of Room 4 – Reading Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension, Maths, and Listening Comprehension.
*Thursday 2.15 pm – CHOIR in Room 4.
*Friday 11th March – Assembly 2.10 pm led by Room 2.

Frans has sent us ‘George the bear’, his special friend who will take the place of Frans in Room 4 with us, for the time that Frans is in hospital. Our job is to keep George busy doing all the things that we do, like learning, playing, going out in the weekends etc. Then we report back with photos and stories on a google doc that Frans, his teacher, and his family can follow. Frans can also contact us this way when he feels up to it. This is an excellent initiative from Frans’s teacher and we are enjoying having George. Gabrielle was lucky to be the first to take George home for the weekend. The photo is of George presenting his oral book report to the class last week, with help from Sully and Annajhay. Can you spot George?
