Dear Readers,
Well done to all the citizens of Readeville for their stellar learning during the past few weeks. Here are a few updates:
Writing: In the lead-up to Enterprise Day, we have been investigating how words can be used to persuade a reader. We started by asking children whether they agreed or disagreed with a range of statements (eg Readeville should grow broccoli in the garden). Students began to write a persuasive letter convincing the 4 teachers in Readeville why they should or should not have an extra activity session.
Maths: In maths, we have started exploring linear measurement, which involved measuring our feet in three different ways. We read the book “How Big is a Foot?’ and students measured their feet three different ways. Students also went for a nature walk around the school collecting items from the garden. They then had to compare and order their items and record some comparisons.
Inquiry: The students have been fascinated by our investigations into what plants need to grow and thrive. Our first seeds have been sown in the Readeville garden and our gardeners are keeping a lookout for their first sprouts.
Harmony Day: On Tuesday, March 21, Readeville will recognise Harmony Day. Please feel free to send your child to school wearing something orange to recognise this day. Please note, it is not a casual day – children may wear orange or their school uniform.
.
Parent-Teacher Interviews: Please note, parent-teacher interviews will take place in week nine. A note was sent home last week in your child’s blue reading folder with details about the electronic booking process being used this year. Students are not required to attend the interviews but can attend if you wish for them to be present.
Parent Reps: Room 22 does not yet have a parent rep (or reps!). If you are willing and able to help out as a parent rep. for Room 22, please refer to the notice that went home with your child on Friday about helping out in this role. The first meeting will be on a Friday. Please see Marie if you can help or would like some more information.
Thanks for your support with your child’s learning – it is greatly appreciated. Thanks also to parents who have been able to help out in class by listening to reading or helping with the garden – your help is greatly valued.
Please see us if you have any questions!
Marie 🙂
