This week ~ Week 2

Hi Lovely Families,
This week we are doing lots of Assessment. All children have completed a spelling Test, at their level, taken as of the end of last year. (Grace and Lauren will complete this tomorrow.) We are currently working through a Numeration Screening Test which will provide me with s starting point in terms of Place Value and Counting. Next week we will be completing some Reading and Comprehension Assessment.
To celebrate Chinese New Year, I decided to do some cooking with your children. We made baked and steamed chicken dumplings. All children grated carrot, chopped capsicum and spring onion and combined the mixture before folding their own dumplings. They were delicious, despite me leaving the water chestnuts at home in my pantry, sorry! :-(
We have celebrated some birthdays at school. 2 in January, 1 so far in February and 3 more to follow! We do have a student with a life threatening food allergy in our class but feel free to send along treats if this is how your family chooses to celebrate but no nuts please.
Looking forward to Information Night and Parent Teacher chats later this month. I did send home 3 notices today with your child.
Looking forward to a fantastic year of learning and laughing.
