Welcome to Year 6 - Week 2 Term 1 Memos
Hopefully post holiday normality has come back to greet your homes after a few days of routine. The students have seemed to have settled in well to Senior Unit life and are taking new things in their stride.
Spelling:
Check out our Spelling page on the left hand side menu. It has our core spelling lists for the year (plus a few extra) and a brief rundown of what we hope students achieve each week.
This week we are concentrating on...
Prefixes that mean one - 'uni' and 'mono'
Other Homework:
Mathletics - this week students can start exploring. Eventually, we will be encouraging students to reach 1000 points
Reading - most important, reading is a key life skill, practice is always needed
Volunteers:
Tuesday Mornings - for gardening. Two sessions are available (9-10am and 10-11am)
Wednesday Mornings - for cooking. Two sessions available here as well (9:30-11:00am and 11:40am-1:10pm)
If you can volunteer for any of these sessions times or multiple, we would love to see you.
All About Me:
Students have done a great job bringing in 5 objects that give an insight into who they are. For those students who haven't brought anything in to share, please remind them to do so before the week is finished.
