Hi everyone
Another weekend has come around so soon! I just want to touch base with you on some things going on in room 2 at the moment.
Homework
On Tuesday (week 7) students were given an English assignment to be completed as a homework task. The assignment requires numerous tasks to be completed and it is due Thursday of week 10 (Just in time for some holiday marking!) I have attached the task outline so that students always have access to a copy at home. The most important aspect of the assignment is that they are demonstrating their understanding of our class novel. Therefore all of the tasks should reflect information taken from the book and be relevant to the contexts of the story. Aside from completing unfinished work, this will be homework for the remainder of the term. Students have two sessions a week of in class time to work on this and check in with me for feedback. I expect to see evidence of progress by Friday of week 8.
LUTA
Next week we will have a series of rehearsals for our LUTA performance. These are all happening in the last parts of the afternoon so if you can avoid early pick ups, that would be great. I sent home extra notes to those who hadn’t returned them. Please send them in as soon as possible. I will chase down individuals on Monday if necessary but if you can save me the time that would be greatly appreciated.
I will send another reminder out next week, however just a heads up that on the night of the performance parents will need to sign students out at the end of the night on a sheet provided. It is essential that we know the whereabouts of every student before we leave.
HASS
Due to some time restrictions our History topic ‘Ancient Egypt’ has been put on hold until next term where we will run it with all year 6/7 classes. For the remainder of the term we will have a focus on Migration. I will send students home with a small task on Monday to find out a bit about their families roots ad history. In case you read this sooner, feel free to discuss this over the weekend and talk about any family who may have migrated to Australia, or to or from any other countries.
Have a lovely weekend and if you had a chance to grab the advertiser today, one of our lovely students has featured on the front page!
