The Mask Parade

Tomorrow...

Is the Mask Parade. It has all come together and the students are looking amazing! Today we had our dress rehearsal walk through. The AWA syndicate students with their colourful Truffula Trees and costumes really do look the part.

A BIG thank you to all the parents who have given their time to help make it so good. Here are a few photos from today.

Remember need to be at Montgomery CarPark by 4:30pm. The parade walking starts about 5:15 and we expect (although have no control over it) the finish will be around 6:15-6:30. Make sure you feed you child something before hand to help them get through.

Looking forward to the big day

Welcome Back

Term 4 is upon us. Hard to believe 3/4 of the year has now gone.
During this first week back we are focussing on the Mask Parade which takes place Friday night. Students need to be in the Montgomery Carpark at 4:30 pm. This is a one in 3 year opportunity and the students and parents (thanks particularly to the hunt family) have been working hard to put together a vibrant and fun presentation of The Lorax. Please support it by getting your child to the parade so they can participate.

In the classroom our writing focus is on using full stops and capital letters in the correct place. In Maths we are continuing to work on our counting on and counting back strategies to solve Maths problems and the use of skip counting to solve multiplication problems. Keep practicing at home problems like "If I had 6 scooters each with 2 wheels how many wheels in total would I have?" Students should be able to solve the problem by going 2,4,6,8,10,12.

Here are a couple of photos taken on the last day of term 3 with students dressed up in their book themed costumes.

We are looking forward to a fun filled term. Note your diaries for Wednesday of week 2 where we will be holding a focus on Maths evening with activities designed specifically for students in years    1-3.
