Week 6, Term 1

SPELLING
Complete your look, say, cover, write, check in your LSCWC small notebook.

READING
Read for ten minutes every night or twenty minutes three times in a week.
This week focus on silently reading to yourself and concentrate on what you've read. We have discussed possible approaches to this.
Write a journal entry for three of the times you have read at home. Please try to write a short description of the session's reading but ensure it is not just an airy fairy throw away line.
You may want to include details like: 

• Character developments 
• Describing the setting
• Plot changes
• Predictions of future events

We will be asking students to share their journals throughout the week.

TIMES TABLES
This week's focus is on 7 times table, and revise the 4 & 6 times tables. Last week many students demonstrated/recorded how they learnt or practiced for homework. They presented these to the class. Some students found a video with a song or rap about 4 or 6 times tables. Great! Hope they sang along with it at home. They may be asked to sing along with it in the class. It would be great if some students made their own song.

This may be anything. Some suggestions are:

• A rhyme
• Written on paper
• A video
• A song
• A pattern

HEALTH
Record the number of hours you slept each night from Thursday to Wednesday, on the health - sleep survey .

ARBURY PARK CAMP
Please refer to the 'Suggested Packing List 2017' on the blog. If there are items that need to be purchased then this is the week to do it. Remember that Monday is a public holiday and shops will be closed.

Some students have opted to perform on the 'Talent Night'. There will be a short amount of time to practise this Wednesday, however preparation time at home may be required.

We have also shared the camp schedule so that parents and students can be aware of what we will be doing from Tuesday to Thursday.
