Term One is all packed away!

Unbelievably, Term One has flown by already.

Firstly, we would like to say a BIG thank you to all of the helpers who have assisted in someway this term - whether it was listening to the children read, making play doh, helping out on the excursion or at the Carnival. We really appreciate your time and effort. We would also like to acknowledge your ongoing support of your own child's learning. Listening to them read their take home books, helping them complete any homework tasks and guiding them with their Show and Share makes such a big difference. We are excited by each students' development this term and their progress is due to the classroom and home partnership.

Each student has taken home a number of books to read over the holidays. Each book can be read multiple times as this will assist in consolidating their fluency and expression. If the children are interested they are welcome to work on IXL (one of the maths apps) over the break as well. Of course lots of discussion about different forms of transport (past, present and future), what fuel each one uses, what special features it has and what the purpose of the vehicle is will help to build their knowledge for our 'Going Places' Unit of Inquiry.

Thank you to everyone who has already returned their permission form for our excursion to the Australian National Aviation Museum on Thursday 16th of April. If you haven't returned it please email it to your class teacher as soon as possible. We will also require a number of parent helpers from each class for this excursion so please let your class teacher know if you are available. 


Student Progress Meetings are conducted in the second and third weeks of term and you will need to request a time preference for these as soon as possible. Please check the Parent Notices http://www.cornishcollege.vic.edu.au/content/parent-notices for further details. 

Term Two will commence on Tuesday 14th April and it will be Day 2 of the timetable. Show and Share for the first week back will have a holiday theme. We would like the children to share something they did during their holidays. They may also like to bring in a photo or souvenir to show the class.

In readiness for our next Summative Assessment task, could you please collect small, clean recyclable objects? The children will be using them to construct models so boxes, tubs, bottles and lids would be ideal.

Things are starting to get a bit muddy and the children all love exploring around the edge of the lake so if you haven't already done so, please bring in a pair of gumboots.
  
Finally, we wish you all a safe and happy Easter holiday and we look forward to hearing all about your adventures.
