Week 5, Term 1

We welcome Jethro and his family to St Gerard's! Jethro is from the Philippines,  it is so nice to have you in Room 4 Jethro!

Well done to everyone who participated in Swimming Sports last Thursday!  What a great event it was. 

This week I will begin the Basic Facts Tests on a Monday.  This is a timed test in which we mark in class.  If your child goes up a level this week you will receive new equations to go into their BF's clear file. 

I will be giving out the children's SumDog Username and Password tomorrow.  This will be glued into their school diary.  This is an optional maths homework but can be a fun way to learn and consolidate maths knowledge at home.  The website it https://www.sumdog.com/user/sign_in

Please remember to record the new Fridge words onto your laminated magnet.  If you need a new one or never received one, please record this into your child's diary and I will send one home!

I do check the diaries every morning, so remember this is a great way to promote self management for your child and also a means for communication between teacher and parents. 

Library is every second week so we will be going in Week 6.  It would be great to see everyone with a card next visit.

Have a great week!
