The Place To Be

Room 2 update

on March 14, 2018

Well it is hard to believe we are past half way through term 1 already!

Just a bit of general information to keep you up to date.

Notes

It would be appreciated if you could return the camp note as soon as possible so that we can have a closer look at our attending numbers. Even if your child isn’t attending, we still need the note returned please.

BYOD user agreement forms went out last week. These are only for students planning on bringing an iPad to school. Please return as soon as possible. We are still waiting for the technicians to set up the last couple.

Please ensure that when your child is absent you either inform the office, email me, or write a note in your child’s diary. Unexplained absences have to be followed up and can be a very time consuming task for both myself and the office. Thank you.

Homework

Last Friday a mini assessment task was sent home as a homework task. This is to be completed over two weeks and due Thursday of week 8 ready for presentation on Friday. It would be great if you could check in to make sure your child is on track. They are encouraged to come and see me for progress feedback in case there is room for improvement. Other than this, there will be no set homework as such other than the occasional finishing off from classroom tasks. Those students participating in a range of SAPSASA sports may have additional tasks to catch up on at home.

Please encourage students to remind you about signing and checking diaries. It is expected that 80% of the term’s weeks are signed as a part of the passport requirements.

Classroom Learning

Last week we started our Geography topic “water in the world”. The focus so far has been on defining weather and climate, looking at the water cycle, different types of rainfall, and thinking about how we store and use water. We will be looking at weather maps on Friday and their features. If you get a chance, watch some weather forecasts with your child and talk about some of the features. We are also looking at exponents, and tomorrow moving onto root numbers, in maths. Next week we will work our way on to fractions.

Some of these topics may be a great conversation started to check in with your child’s learning.

That’s all for now!

Jess

    Thanks – this is really useful to read – especially when you have a child who isn’t good on the details of school 🙂
