Parents, thanks for your support here!  There will be opportunities during the week to share home learning with the class and teacher.

Read a range of books (fiction/non-fiction) and be read to by a family member.  Reading could include:  Library books, school readers, journals, plays, poetry, chapter books, magazines, comics, pamphlets, recipes, newspapers, fiction & non fiction, etc. Bring a book to school that you are reading. You can read it during silent reading time each day! Our focus for Literacy is on Poetry writing.  Find some poems that you can read and memorise to share with the class.  Create your own poems too!	OVERDUE LIBRARY BOOKS! Thank you to everyone who has been returning their library books regularly.  No new books will be issued if you have overdue books. SWIMMING We will be going to the swimming pool this Wednesday, as a class.  If you are keen, bring your togs! CULTURAL FESTIVAL Thursday 1st December.  Groups will be sharing between 5.30pm - 6.30pm.  Bring a picnic/drinks to share with your family and friends afterwards!

Make sure you have completed all writing that you have started on your Blog.  Please don’t leave these unfinished! Keep checking out our Room 22 blog, as new things will be added (especially in the REMINDERS section)!  Look at the activities on the learning website page of our class blog.  Try some out!  Add any homework you do to your Google Drive.  Go to the ‘Homework’ folder, then create a new document.
