Welcome to Term 1, Week 2 in Class 4/5!

We’ve had a fantastic start to the term, focusing on building relationships and getting to know each other. It’s been wonderful seeing students settle in and begin demonstrating their writing abilities.

In English, we have introduced The Twits as our class novel. Alongside this, we’ve started our vocabulary cycle, where students explore four new words each week—learning their definitions, synonyms, using them in a sentence, and representing them with a picture.

In Math, we have begun our unit on abundant numbers, encouraging students to develop their number sense and problem-solving skills.

A quick reminder that swimming begins next week. Please ensure students arrive at school wearing their swimmers under their uniform and bring:

✅ Bathers (worn under uniform)
✅ Swimming cap
✅ Towel
✅ Plastic bag for wet clothes
✅ Any necessary medication

If you haven’t yet returned the Major Excursion Consent form or the Single Aquatic Activity Consent form, please do so by this afternoon. 

At latest, a photo of the signed forms on Seesaw will be accepted for this weekend but please send in the hard copy Monday morning.

Speaking of Seesaw, if you haven’t signed up yet, please follow this link to join our class: https://app.seesaw.me/s/140-671-591. This will be our primary platform for sharing updates and student learning.

Looking forward to a great term ahead!
