Hi everyone and welcome to Room 6 for 2016.
Every time we start a new year it feels like such an opportunity and a time
when we have so much ahead of us to look forward to. I’m sure we’re going to
have a great time in Room 6 and I hope all of you will enjoy your time at
school and enjoy your learning. Below are some things coming up and some
expectation within Room 6.
Class culture
Together over the first days of school we
will be completing some activities and discussions that will help us develop
our class treaty. Once students have agreed to this they will bring a copy home
to discuss with parents.
Blog
All classes at St Gerards have a blog that
is linked from the school website. This will be updated weekly with homework
tasks, notices and upcoming events, plus some examples of student work,
activities, learning and achievements.
Homework
expectation
Most weeks homework will consist of 3-4
activities. The norm is a small inquiry research task related to work in class,
a current events task, spelling tasks and 20-30mins reading each night.
Sometimes maths tasks will be set or some work that is not completed in class
time may need to be completed.
