Week 2 Term 2

1/2B is back in the swing of things now with our holidays but a distant memory.

Focus areas for this week are - 

*Reading -  narratives from the Premier's Reading Challenge. Using the username and password that the students have pasted in the front of their school diaries, parents can add books to their child's list. Please let me know if there are any problems.

*Spelling and handwriting - the letter 'u', the short 'u' sound as in sun / unlock. Students have some spelling words in their blue spelling book which they will be working on at school and at home. Students will generally have between 3 - 6 words to learn.

*News time -each student has selected a day of the week as their News day for the term. Chat with them about which day is theirs. This week's focus is knowing their address (memorising if possible) and telling us something special about their street.   

*Numeracy - measurement of length , width and perimeter using informal measurements -here's a home challenge- is the front or the back yard wider or deeper? you can use 'feet' as in heal to toe or steps to calculate

Reminders- Student school diaries to be at school each Monday please so that we can write in them
