Daily Home reading
Students are required to read 5 times a week at home and parents need to sign their yellow reader diaries each night. To support you child's reading goal you can ask them questions about their book - who, what, when, where, why, and how?
Topic Studies
This term we for Topic Studies we will be looking at “What makes Bendigo Unique?” We will compare Bendigo to other towns and look at key landmarks/ attractions that Bendigo has to offer.
Communication
Class Dojo is one of our major communication methods between Teachers and parent/carers. Please check your child’s Class Dojo page regularly for any updates. Other updates can be found in our weekly school newsletter, specifically in our Junior Jargon section.
Share Time
Writing
In Writing we will continue to teach the students to write on dotted thirds. Any practise with writing on dotted thirds focussing on correct letter formation would be great. We will continue to send home some practice sheets for students that need additional support with letters on which they have already focussed.
We will also learn about the processes in how to write a response to text, video clips and music.
