WELCOME TO BILAR - MRS ELIZABETH MARONEY
Class Teacher: Mrs Libby Maroney.
Release from face to face (RFF) Monday – Mrs Alex Miller (Technology)
Wednesday – Mr Nicholas Fuentes (Library)
Welcome to class Bilar. The word Bilar is an Aboriginal word and means an oak tree. Our class is a cross Stage 2/Stage 3 class with an even mix of Year 4 and Year 5 students. The students have settled and are ready for a year of educational and personal growth. We have been working hard to set our goals and expectations for the term. The students have their AVID book packs and we have been spending time setting up the books to ensure that students are organised and are set up for success.
In literacy sessions there will be a strong focus on developing writing skills and students will be accessing the Lexile Program, which is available both at school and home, to develop comprehension skills. Maths lessons will include explicit teaching of concepts, hands on activities and independent consolidation using a text book.
As the class teacher I encourage students to read daily (at school and at home) in order to promote fluency, comprehension, to increase their vocabulary and to develop a love of discovering something new every time they open a book. A word, an idea, a new way of looking at things or a new fact.
Homework – is set each Monday. Home reading is included as part of homework. If you as a parent/carer read with or discuss your child’s reading with them it would be appreciated. Spelling work is set each Monday and addresses the many sound patterns our English language incorporates. Mathematics activities will also be a part of your child’s homework. Any completed homework will be collected on Fridays.
