Welcome back to another week of learning and fun in Room 9!

Thank you for all of the positive comments you wrote to your children about their reading on the padlet. Seeing the children's eyes light up with beaming smiles as I read them is something I will always remember.

Testing
The reading testing (running records) I did last week shows that all of the children have made excellent progress. Great work everyone!!!

This week I will begin maths testing using JAM- Junior Assessment of Mathematics. These standardised questions will show me what strategies your child knows how to apply to solve mathematical problems.

The children will also complete a persuasive writing sample which will be assessed and put into your child's Portfolio of learning. 

All assessments will be used to assist me in making an Overall Teacher Judgment about your child's achievement for their mid-year report.
Written reports and Portfolios will go home at the end of this term.

Sustainability
This week we will be making pen containers. Please send an empty and clean tin can to school with your child, along with any ribbon, crafty bits, googly eyes etc that they might need to bring their ideas to life.

Chickenpox
Chickenpox is making it's way around the school. Our class has had 3 cases of chickenpox in the last 3 weeks.
We pray that those children make a quick recovery.

Have a blessed week.
