IXL
Room 6 has been enrolled in IXL Maths.  Children will be assigned tasks to complete on IXL instead of using the Knowledge Books from last year. The school has subsidised the cost of this programme which has lead to improved results in previous years.  The cost for each child in Room 6 is $10 pa.  This subscription will appear on your school account.

Class Dojo
Link to this week's focus here: Episode 3/5 (also shared on Class Dojo site to which many to which many of you have subscribed).  Parent discussion sheet home on Monday.

CAMP
Now is a good time to start an automatic payment to pay for the Term 4 camp.

EAR BUDS
Children in Room 6 will be using an app to listen to their own writing.  This is to assist in developing more critical thinking skills and help with the editing of their written work.  Could you please supply them with earbuds to enable them to listen to their own work (no need for expensive headphones - my $2 ones are lasting well!)
