Farewell It is with a really heavy heart that I’d like to let you all know that as of the end of this week Mrs Wiggins is retiring. After 42 years in the teaching profession Mrs Wiggins can look forward to spending more time with Mr Wiggins, her new beautiful grandson and enjoying life at the beach. Corindi PS has been very, very fortunate to have had Deb here for the last 13 years. Her dedication to students, families and the community has been second to none. I’m sure you’ll all join with us in wishing Mrs Wiggins a long and happy retirement. She will be sorely missed.

CLASS NEWS Koala News… Our digraph for Week 5 is “wh” – what, when. Remember to continue practicing all the sounds we have learnt. The red and green folders that have been sent home with sounds, words and sentences can stay home and used as home readers. These will be collected at the end of the year. Yesterday I sent home a booklet of sight words that do not need to be returned but used as practice at home. Yesterday I also sent home a copy of the Three Bears Rap. I would appreciate if you could assist the students in reciting it at home so we can say it clearly and confidently. In Maths we are looking at Friends of 10, Ordinal numbers and Mass. Have a great week.

Possum News… Our class has been learning Auslan Sign Language all year and we thank Mrs Hoskin and Miss Kerryanne for their guidance! We start each day with our ‘Good morning song using our signing’ – so please ask your child to sing and sign you our special song. All our students can also sign the numbers 1-10 and we are now also working on 11-20 in our maths sessions, along with a few 2D shapes. Teaching young children sign language has many cognitive benefits as it involves using hands, body and facial expressions in unison to communicate, which uses the visual-spatial part of their brain. This is the same part of the brain that we use to learn to read and for this reason, sign language can be beneficial to teach young children as it exercises the same part of their brain that is linked to reading and spelling. Research also shows that children who learn to sign are more readily able to translate letters/words to the written language. So, please ask your little Possum to show you some of their signing! This week is a big sound and letter week, as we will be focusing on the many letters and their combinations for the sounds /s/ as in ‘seal’, /ss/ as in ‘kiss’, /se/ as in ‘mouse’, /ce/ as in ‘juice’, /x(ks)/ as in ‘fox’ and /c/ as in ‘pencil’ within our spelling words and sound/letter work. During maths, we focus on ‘Multiplication’ and our Three-Dimensional (3D) Space and Shapes. The learning at home idea for this week is…to ‘make equal groups of pasta shells (or pegs) at home’ (For example, 2 groups of pasta shells with 3 pasta shells in each group, 2x3=6 to complement their multiplication maths learning for this next fortnight. Thank you to the parents who have uploaded their child’s ‘baby photo’ to our class Seesaw App. It has been simply delightful seeing all our student’s cute baby pics. We will be using them this week during our PDH lesson on ‘How we change over time’. Please feel free to contact us through our class Seesaw App as it is a great way for us all to ‘stay connected’ and communicate in these challenging Covid times. Stay healthy and safe!

Bilby News… This week we will begin to practise our “Macbeth” play for the performance in Week 10. Don’t be surprised if your child starts speaking in “Olde English” as we are also learning some fun words to use in our play! We are also learning about chance and data in mathematics and will be investigating how to represent information using picture and column graphs. In geography, we are comparing Australian landscapes and how they impact our lifestyles. While in reading the class will be continuing their research on an Olympic sport and producing a PowerPoint to present their information. Enjoy your week
Mrs Galloway
Stage 3 News… This week Stage 3, in geography they will be creating their own biome in Minecraft Edu. They will be choosing a biome, identifying human impact and then replicating the some part of the human impact in their design. We will then take screen shots and create a pic collage representation of their world. In maths for the next couple of weeks we are concentrating on division and order of operation (BODMAS). Don’t forget that Dingoes have recorder Monday and Friday and the Emus on Thursdays with Mr Taylor.

August is Fruit and Veg Month! This year’s theme is Festival Fruit and Veg. To celebrate we are holding a Fruit & Veg Art Festival!
Let’s celebrate the amazing colours and forms of fruit and veg!
You can create any piece of art dedicated to fruit and vegetables - the options are only limited to your imagination!
Artwork will need to be completed at home and at the end of the month, will be displayed in the Library. There will be prizes for each stage winner, and a colouring competition for K-2
SO GET CREATIVE!
CLASS NEWS
Platypus News… Welcome to Week 5 - half way through the Term already! Time really does fly! This week we are increasing our knowledge of writing styles. This week we are learning how to write procedures. Procedures are most often found in recipes and instructions for things. The class will be writing clear instructions on how to use their emergency equipment that they are creating. You may have seen some of them pop up on Seesaw. In Maths we are working on our final week of Time. The 6 times tables are of particular importance to learning the concept of time. Keep up the reading at home - it really is very important! Have a great week.

Echidna News… We have been busy bee’s in class this week learning about the ‘ee’ sound and using this in our spelling. We have been reading the book ‘The Very Cranky Bear’ and we have created some artwork of some not-so-cranky bears using just forks and brown paint as our tools. We had lots of fun in art this week! In Maths we are learning about ‘Chance and Data’. This includes estimating the likelihood of an event happening or not. In 1/2E we are becoming masters at using tally marks to record data too. Just ask your child and they will be able to show you.
