BIRD COUNT , HOMEWORK, BELAIR EXCURSION, FOYER DISPLAY

Dear Parents

A big thank you to the parents who were able to support their children with doing the  Bird Count. The students found it a meaningful experience to be involved in a national survey. We will graph the results as part of mathematics and computing . Students are doing a small project on a bird local to the Mitcham Area. I have given them an assessment rubric to refer to on this.

Homework this week is to finish off their word study ready to be peer assessed on Wednesday. Students will be assessed on their automaticity with all of their tables early  next week. I have given them some practice sheets to practice in class and at home. No excuse to say I’ve got no homework. Give them a quick test to see if they know their tables!

A note has gone home today giving details of an excursion to Belair National Park on Tuesday 27th November with rooms 17 and 18. Parents are welcome to come along and supervise. Details of this is in the note coming home TODAY. We hope you can help out as we need students to be supervised in small groups. We plan to go to Playford Lake, Echo Tunnel, The Plant Nursery, Adventure Playground and do some very simple orienteering. Perhaps a car pool could be organised at the park with cars parked just inside the entrance and at the Adventure Playground. We will be dropped off at the entrance at 9:25 am and picked up later in the day at 2:10 from the Adventure Playground. It will be a busy but enjoyable day. We trust the weather will be kind. Please bring back the notes promptly. We highly appreciate the parents who do this.

Our class has its turn for Foyer display in the front office starting this week. Check out the good work on display.

Kind Regards

Des  Norman and Robyn Sambell
