The Year 5 children settled into the new school term well. They are happy and relaxed. We have seen some excellent thinking in our PBL Science unit.
Thank you to those who stocked the student’s pencil cases. It was much appreciated. Please make sure the children have enough lead pencils, pens , a ruler, eraser and coloured pencils.
We are reminding the students about using technology with respect and maturity.
Last week we were focussing on not posting ANYTHING nasty or unkind on any online social media or game and then trying to retract that with a ‘JK”.
This week we would like the students to remember to take care of their iPads and devices. If you could remind your child to charge their device, place it in their bags that is not near their water bottle etc. We will also remind them to look after their ipads. Thank you for all your support.
Thank you to those who have sent their Christmas Bauble craft items in. The children need sequins and pins to create a Christmas decoration. We will supply the baubles. Many thanks.
Following our PBS4L, in Year 5, we are focussing on speaking with respect to one another at all times. If anyone speaks to another student or teacher with disrespect, we follow our school PBS4L policy:
- we would have a calm chat to the student and give a warning
- we would give another warning and depending on the severity of the disrespect we would either have another chat and warning. We will always contact you, the parent, if the behaviour continues.
The children are writing with improved confidence and focussing on clauses and subordinate clauses in their writing. GREAT to see. GO Year 5. You are doing so well.
