Spelling


The Core Spelling Lists for the year are all here. The lists are posted so that students and parents have access to them here. If students are away, they can still manage to start/complete their spelling for the week.

 As part of homework, students are asked to complete their spelling activities. Students will begin these tasks during Monday's spelling lesson. 
The tasks for spelling each week are:
One word origin - highlight one spelling word and highlight its history
All words divided up into morphemes 
All list words in sentences
(This is based on students having a 10 word list)

Four lists written out. The lists are as follows:
1. Weekly List
2. Syllables (eg. u/ni/form)
3. Phonemes (eg. u-n-i-f-or-m)
4. LOTE language

Monday Memos Week 10 Term 3

As we make our way into the final week of Term 3, students are looking forward to a couple weeks off after a very busy term. Hear some intel into what is going on right now: Exhibition Students are at a stage of the process where they are asking their own questions and are beginning to look at researching. As the week progresses we hope that students begin to make contact with people and organisations to gain primary information to bolster their research.  Please keep the evening of November 8 free. We will be presenting our Exhibition that evening. More information will come out at the start of next term. Summer Uniforms As students start to wear their formal summer uniforms, can we please make sure that sizes fit and hem lines are at an appropriate length.  Lion King Excursion We look forward to this experience and hope the students find entertaining.
