Your school work for this week - Week 3
Hello Max,
You are such a good artist! I am really enjoying seeing the pictures you draw on the blog. We had a look at your blog today as a class and everyone wanted to look at all the pictures.
It is a pity Skype didn't work out today but we will keep trying - try us again tomorrow at 11.15am. We are going on a trip to the museum on Wednesday so won't be able to Skype you that day but then we will back back on Thursday again to talk to you.
I have a bag with some new reading books and also lots of fractions worksheets for you to do - I just need to remember to send it over to Georgie to take home for you.
Keep up the reading and writing, and you can do the maths worksheets when you feel like it. There are lots in the bag and I don't expect you to do them all in one week unless you really want to.
It is good to have Bailey back at school - you should come and visit us one day - Bailey would take good care of you if you did and everyone would be so happy to see you.

Thank you Max!
Hi Max,
I just wanted to say thank you for the lovely present you gave me today - I always need platters to use when I have people over to my house and the ones you gave me are really nice! I couldn't give you a real car so I thought I would give you this sticker instead.
Have a great weekend playing with Bailey.
Miss Thomas
P.S. This afternoon I showed you mum how to put photos on the blog so give it a try - you can draw all kinds of stuff and take a photo of it to put on the blog. The class really enjoys reading your blog and especially seeing the photos on it!

Great Work Max!!
Hello Max,
I am so impressed with how hard you are working on your school work this week! I can't give you a sticker or make you an early bird because I am not there with you, BUT I can give you an online sticker! I chose Nemo because we have been reading the 'Gardens Under the Sea Book'.
We have been really enjoying talking to you on Skype Max. I have been choosing 5 people each day who get to talk to you while we are doing our writing on the Smartboard. Everyone always wants to talk to you! We really loved the photo of you that is on your blog so send us some more - maybe you could take some photos of your cats and write about them - that would be cool.
Anyway, talk to you tomorrow on Skype. Keep up the hard work.
Miss Thomas
P.S. Miss Naidoo is coming to visit our class on Friday at 10am this week - you could come and visit too if you like. We would love to see you!!

Your School Work for Next Week - Week 2
Hi Max,
You have done a great job of keeping up with the class this week. I am going to list here the things I want you to do next week:
Reading
Each day read 1 book - I am giving you a junior journal too which has lots of stories for you to read but you can do your work on one story in it. Just like last week your group is learning to read the book and write down 3 bullet points of things they learnt in the book.
The book called 'Gardens of the Sea' is our big book this week. Please read it and make 3 bullet points of things you learnt. Then on the back cover there is an example of how to draw a 'can you find' scene. I would like you to draw a scene like that. The children in the class will also be doing one. If you take a photo of your picture and email it to me I can put it on the blog for everyone to see.
Writing
We will be writing a recount of the Gardener Storyteller Visit. You can choose something to write about - I will send your red dictionary home with Georgie for you to use at home. You can choose to write on the blog or on paper and then get mum to type it on. I would like you to write 3 sentences each day this week.
Remember that if you are writing on paper you need to sound out your words and underline ones you need to check with your dictionary. After you finish your story you can use your red dictionary to check the words. If you write straight on to the blog you don't need to worry about correcting your words.
Maths
We are learning about fractions this term. Your group is learning to read the fractions - 1/2, 1/4, 1/3, 2/4, 3/4, 2/3 etc. They are going to play a fractions bingo game and I will send home a copy you could play against mum. The next lesson your group is learning to share things out - I will send home a worksheet for you to practise that too. Keep up the mathletics and look if there is any fraction work on there you could do.
Inquiry
We are starting our inquiry into fabrics and fibres. Can you write a list for me of 20 things in your house made of fabric or fibre. Then you can think about which are fabrics and which are fibres.
That should keep you pretty busy. We will still try skype each day at about 11.05am. Let's hope it works this week!!
Have a great weekend - can you ask Georgie to come and pick up the books for you on Monday?

Hello Max!
Hi Max!
It was great to see you on Skype today - I will be getting Mr Kinane to have a look at what was wrong with our webcam as it would be good if you could see us too! The kids in the class were so excited after they talked to you and they were asking when we will skype next - they definately want to do it every day and I hope you do too!
We miss you heaps but it is nice to be able to see you even when you are at home.
Today the kids in our class had a big sandcastle building competition at lunchtime where the boys competed against the girls... I will put a photo here of what the boys made - it was crazy and I could see it all the way from the staffroom so I went and took a photo!
I do hope you can come and visit us next week because the whole class would like you to. They keep asking when you are coming back to school. I will talk to your mum and see if we can decide on a time for you to come in...
Anyway, talk to you soon

Well done Max!
Max,
I am so proud of you and your mum for using the blog on your own! Well done!!
Today we had no computers in our class all day as there was a problem with the server - so we couldn't check the blogs at all! The class were really keen to see your blog so I will show them tomorrow.
It will be great if you come and visit tomorrow but if you can't because of the rain we can try to skype you straight after morning tea - about 5 past 11... that would be fun!
We had a fun day today and if you read the reporter blog later I will have put up a post about the visit from 'Pete Pineapple'.
I am really pleased that you did your reading work on the blog. This week your reading group is learning to write bullet points of main information that they have read. Could you choose one of the books I gave you each day and write a post about it on your blog each day - maybe some bullet points or just tell me what happened in the story. It was a really good idea that you put the title of the book as the title of your blog post. You got so good at reading last term and I really want you to keep up!!
Today we planned a story about our holidays - we will be drafting them tomorrow. So how about you draft a story on the writing blog and tell us all about your leg and what happened... we would love to read it!
Keep up the Mathletics too!
Anyway, we will see you tomorrow when you visit or on Skype.
