If you would like to, here are some basic fact practice tests for your child to practise at home. Simply print off the level your child is on and off you go!
Each level has a specified time for the child to complete in. As we are asking the students to know them as a basic fact, recall needs to be relatively quick.

Holiday Writing
Check out some of our first writing pieces up on the wall!
The students were to follow the structure of "Remember when" written by Marci Ridlon and fill in their own experiences of the summer holidays.
Sounds like we all had lots of fun soaking in some sun at the beach!

School Values
Room 5 has started the year with a focus on our school values. Specifically, what they look like, sound like and feel like. We have been establishing and practising these 3 core values whilst learning our new classroom routines.

About Home Learning
Year 3 and 4 Basic Facts Program
We believe it is important to link
learning between home and school. Here is some information about how we run the
basic facts program and how you can help.
The students will be tested on their
basic facts knowledge each term. The test that they take, breaks down all of
the different areas of basic facts that the students will need to know. The
students then look closely at their tests and find the areas that hey have had
trouble with, and these areas become the basic facts that they will work on for
home learning.
With your help, the students will then
learn, practise and maintain the area they are working on (e.g. addition to 5).
They can do this in many different ways - depending on how they learn best. If
they feel they have mastered it, they can choose to be tested on a Friday
morning during homework time. If they successfully master the area that they
have been working on, I will sign it off and then they will move onto the next
stage. If they are not tested with me, they will not move onto a different
stage. This is to help me keep track of what they are working on, and to ensure
they have mastered each area before they move on. At times, students may need
to have a break from an area and go back to it.
If the students do not feel like they
have had enough time over the week to master their basic facts then they do not
have to be tested. Everybody learns differently.
This process will help the students to
set their own learning goals and manage their own learning.
Please do not hesitate to come and ask
questions if you have any.
