Thank you parents for dropping in last evening to meet me and chat. I look forward to seeing you again, most likely at interview time. Until then, watch for word lists in your child's agenda, starting in early October.
The home reading time is a daily opportunity to share a good book with your child. They will likely need your support in reading the book they have chosen.

Our Science Unit
Science is one of my favourite subjects. I like the way it gives everyone an opportunity to explore the world and the way it works. Our first science unit is on "Movement" and it touches on concepts of simple machines, mechanisms, how toys work, and also some aspects of how things operate and move to help us.
Our classroom has a science kit called Gadgets, Gears and Gizmos to help support this unit. Look for some pictures in the days to come.
