For home tasks this term, current events will again feature so that we remember to look at what is going on around us. These are due in Monday - either on your blog or on paper. Plus basic facts and spelling bee will again be a big push.
Reading and Languages are another focus this term, so there will be weekly language quiz's and reading logs so that we get again into the habit of pushing ourselves to do our best in all our work even if it is out of school hours - we have to remember that LEARNING is something we can do all the time!!
