The class demonstrated brilliant respect and positive learning behaviours during the day and considered what they want their classroom to be like during the year. Everyone set their new star reader level, bringing home their reading books and diaries for the weekend. If you can please begin reading 3 times at home to gain a merit each week. We will begin setting homework and spellings from next Friday. I look forward to seeing everyone next week.
