Term 1

Term 1 is quickly coming to an end.  We are continuing our focus on the students Literacy.  Please keep reading each night with your son or daughter. The students should be bringing home 3-4 readers a week.  If on a particular night they do not have a new book re-read one of the books in their reading cover.
Spelling is being tested each week.  Please keep up the good work in learning the spelling words at home. A number of our students have moved up a spelling level in the last week which is very encouraging for them. This week we will be testing the sight words.  Some students have moved beyond the sight word levels however for those still working through them we want to keep encouraging this as it assists their reading greatly.

Today in class one of the reading groups performed a RAP from their reading book to the rest of the class.  It was great to hear the encouragement given by the other students in the class to the reading proficiency of this group.
