Week 9, Term 1

Work due: Thursday Week 9 (Except for Music in individual class music lesson)

This is a great example of last weeks simple homework expectations. Thank you, Makaela Francis!

This is how Makaela sets up her LSCWC book for the following week. Great organisation Makaela.

TIMES TABLES
This week's focus are the 7 & 8 times tables. Please create a formularized spreadsheet that works the times tables out for you.
We will cover how to do this on Tuesday if you are not sure.

SPELLING
Complete your look, say, cover, write, check in their LSCWC small notebook.
The 4 boxes in their LSCWC book need to be completed by Thursday.
It is best that they complete a LSCWC on separate nights. Some kids have shown great improvement with a practice test also given by their parents on one night. Please get them to slip/staple any extra practice evidence into their book, to show us.(LSD)

READING
Read for ten minutes every night or twenty minutes three times in a week.
Please find a way to read to an odd object/thing that has always been in your house (Not Sibling). (PLEASE get photo evidence)
Write a journal each week about your weeks reading. Please try to write an entry that details the developments over the week and be descriptive so that a person who has not read the text can clearly imagine the story. (In your LSCWC book by Friday morning)
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 weeks.
Also thank you for all of the photos being emailed to us. Don't stop. We are collecting the photos for a school presentation.

MUSIC (If it was not completed in Week 8)

Listening Log is due for room 7/8.
There should be 10 songs of your choice on your playlist as well as 5-10 songs from the classical genre in your listening log (from the Classics for Kids website).

JAPANESE

This Wednesday we will be discussing last weeks homework about 'useful sentences'. Make sure you have some words/sentences to help your new table members out. (see last week's blog)
Learn/remember the days of the week: Nichiyoubi, Getsuyoubi, Kayoubi, Suiyoubi, Mokuyoubi, Kinyoubi, Doyoubi. (nichi getsu ka sui moku kin do)

GEOGRAPHY (continued)
Collaborative Project
Welcome to the assessment weeks. Our Netherlands group presented last week and set the bar at a very good level. All students were able to see a complete presentation and watch the assessment process that follows. It was a great start to a very large collaborative assignment.
Student groups will be placing their names on a list as they are ready during Week 9 but they will be given a slot otherwise in weeks 10 & 11.
Each group has had a leader assigned who has had to share the resouce page and project slide. (Google Slide) (Groups are below)
