Dear supportive and dedicated parents and carers,

Wilco: We have been counting up by 5s to 100 and then down back to 0 then we start at 11 and count by 5s up to 106 then back to 0.
Undram: This week l have been doing skip counting and Daily number and l have been doing poetry and lots more. My favourite activities are the Daily number, poetry, skip counting and l liked doing family tree. l had a challenge of doing the family portraits because l didn’t know who to draw but then l drew myself it was fun.
Joanna: This week I have learnt how to measure things like a chair and a pot plant. Sometimes I measure things that are hard to measure, sometimes I don’t. I have always enjoyed measuring things because you can see what size things are and how tall they are. There are a lot of things to measure so it is hard to run out of things to measure.
Iggy: This week I have learnt to do a new dance. It was fun to learn because I now know some new moves. It made me feel happy.
Isaiah: The challenges I have had during this home learning time is…. it can be very stressful at times and it takes a long time to complete one task because there can be a lot of distractions. The other challenge is not being able to see people…. though we have been written cards and making Play-Dohs and delivering them to those who are close by.
It felt amazing seeing them all even if it was just for a bit.
The positive side of this is that I can truly dedicate more time on the areas I need to improve… which is my handwriting, maths, chemistry and my music which has been fantastic.
Nina: I have been investigating my family history.
Alex: I loved doing the native tree science project, having a go at the multiplication challenge and I loved the book of George’s Marvellous Medicine. Good week.
Makaila: My favourite thing this week is the BTN Classroom Episode 2020. My other favourite thing this week is the experiment.
Francie’s real-life measuring.
Charlotte: I really enjoyed doing my family tree and learning about my ancestors. I learnt that I have Iranian, Italian, English and Irish blood!
Binderiya’s independent writing brainstorming.
Gigi: I have been feeling good about this week’s learning. I’m also feeling quite sick. I have enjoyed doing Italian and writing this week.
Evie H’s science experiment reflection.
Ihsahn: The Daily Numbers were fun this week and I loved my chin-ups on the stairs. It was cool counting by 10s and 8s. The mindfulness tapping helped me sleep. I felt happy, sad and good. I learnt more maths and I did so much P.E. It was fun!
Remy: This week I learnt that in prodigy if you go on your map and click on the grass lands, behind you there is a path and it is a secret path. The white hand never points to it.
I learnt how to make fruit juice in our juicer at home.
The science experiment was cool – when we poked the science experiment egg that had been soaking in vinegar – it burst!
