The Senior Unit

 

 

 

 

Time is flying with just three weeks left to finish off the first quarter. Here are a few bits and pieces we thought you should know… Spelling - List 7 Group 1: the ‘ai’ sound using ‘ei’ or ‘eigh’. Examples - neighbourhood, weight Group 2: the long ‘e’ sound using ‘e_e’. Example - gene, scene Communication   Please use senior_unit@ilsg.sa.edu.au when emailing Mrs Eckermann and Mr Semmler. This helps make sure that both teachers are aware of the information being shared. This is important if either teacher is unavailable, the other can be aware of the communication.  This also makes it easier to keep records and manage correspondence.

Ahoy there! Hope everyone is enjoying the warm spell and the beginning of the footy season. It may be a tough year again for Crows supporters and this year Mr Semmler will be empathetic as an Eagles man. Anyway, here is the information to share… Spelling - List 6 Group 1: ‘Dec’ or more (decagon, centurion, millennium) Group 2: ‘ue’, ‘ew’ and ‘u_e’ (statue, newt, pollute) Senior Unit Camp This week was originally planned as a Canberra Camp week. Unfortunately due to the current pandemic and associated factors, we were unable to provide this experience. The good news at the moment is that we are working towards an Aquatics Camp for Term 4 over on the Yorke Peninsula. Stay tuned for more details on that during the second half of the year. UOI - Who We Are We are finishing off the main part of our identity unit with some short term goal setting that will benefit a your child’s wellbeing. Our learning engagement is about getting them thinking and planning to achieve a goal. We hope that so
