Week 8, Term 2

(Students will earn a privilege this week if their parent +1s this post)

READING
Read and answer the Gold Rush comprehension PDFs in their Google Drive. Pages 4 & 5.(History folder)
Students continue on entering answers in the document they created last week. Each question directly relates to the comic strip style pages that are also in their drive.
We will check and mark all questions on Friday.

MATHS
This week's focus is decimals. In the LSCWC book (on the page opposite this weeks LSCWC) please create a numberline from 0 to 10.
Place the following numbers in the correct spot.

5.5       0.5      4/2      24/3    7.5      9/10      60/10   

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)

Although this is an individual assignment and we will be spending a considerable amount of time in class working on it and explicitly teaching aspects, we are hoping that students take the opportunity to extend their work and presentation skills using their homework time. 

Obviously we don't want parents doing the majority of the assignment for their child but we both encourage that parents take particular interest in this assignment and assist the students with: 

• Researching - locating quality information and visuals (photos and videos)
• Writing - Making sure that the information on their website is in their own words (not copied)
• Website - Helping from a users point of view. Is the website easy to navigate, engaging and informative?

JAPANESE

Continue to work on your own slides presentation that displays all the characters we have learned so far. Spend a few minutes each night reviewing the characters. There will be a test on Friday week 8 (RI, KI, NA, NI, MI).
