Year 4 have a very busy and exciting week ahead!
Excursion Reminders:
A school excursion is always everyones favourite part of the year!
Thank you for returning the permission notes so promptly.
We need all children to be at school on Thursday morning by 7:20am so that the buses can leave at 7:30am sharp.
A note of clarification is that the classroom teachers will be bringing some i-pads for the children so that they can take some photos during the day. Please DO NOT allow the children to bring any devices of their own.
The Blue Mountains are cold at this time of the year! The bus will be nice and warm and we will warm up during our walking activities. It is best that the children wear layers of clothing that they can "peel off" or put back on throughout the day as needed. Please label all clothing and bags.
The Bureau of Meteorology Katoomba Forecast for our excursion is:

Term 3 HOMEWORK
The speaking and listening task for Term 3 was sent home with the children last week to glue into their Homework Books. The children do not need to hand in this book weekly. They can use their Homework books for the draft copies of each section for their presentations and the teachers are more than happy to view these for children who would like to show their weekly progress.
We have added the task to a new tab on this blog - just incase the Homework sheet didn't make it home!
Year 4 Daily Homework:
** Daily reading - 20 minutes per night (or more!!) It would be great if the children could read out loud to an adult at least once a week as this is a very different skill than reading to yourself.
**Mathletics - tasks are regularly set by the teachers, but playing "LIVE" is very important too.
