Dear 3 / 4 K,

It was great to see so many children getting lots of raffle tickets yesterday.  The more raffle tickets you get, the more chances you have of your name being pulled out on Friday when I draw the raffle.

It was also good that you have continued to get marbles into the jar.  When all 100 marbles go into the jar then you will receive a free icy pole as your reward.

Have a great day,

From Mr. Kilmartin

Dear 3 / 4 K,

Your homework for this week is on synthesising.  You will be practising synthesising in today’s Reading lesson.  It is important that you bring your Take Home cover to school so that you can choose a suitable book to take home and read.

You have got History with me after lunch today where once again the focus will be on Koorie Culture.

Have a great day,

From Mr. Kilmartin

Homework – Term 4 Week 4

We have been looking at synthesising in our Reading lessons this term.  Synthesising is where your thinking changes as you read.  Your homework is to write down an example of where your thinking has changed whilst you have been reading your Take Home book.
