Week 3
Good morning
Science
This week we will be examining our rock samples in science to investigate hardness, density and characteristics such as the size of grains or any layers that are present. I have noticed a number of students bringing these samples in, so if your child has not done so, please support them and remind them that they are due tomorrow (Tuesday).
Maths
With our maths homework, I am putting the answers on Edmodo each week for the mental maths book, so please use these to mark your child's homework as they complete it. This week we are working on unit 21 which is revision so there is not a new strategy. All previous strategy videos are on Edmodo should they be required.
OLC Values Friendship
Last week we commenced a program with the girls discussing and working through Girlpower to assist us in understanding and managing our friendships. This will continue over the coming weeks, after which we will run a similar program with the boys. While the girls are completing this, the boys are giving back to the school by assisting students in the early childhood complete their work, such as reading and maths. This is aimed to enable the boys to see value in the tasks that they complete and to work on their communication skills. Similarly the boys will have their own session with us later this term with the "Good Guys" program as the focus.
Wednesday Video - Mr T Viewing/Writing activity
The Year 4 students are required to watch this video as a follow up to last week's activity prior to Wednesday please. Nothing needs to be done, but please go through the video with your child so that they have a good understanding of what is expected and are ready to write on Wednesday.
Many thanks - Mr T
