Welcome to 5 Red

The year has been quiet busy already and we’re only one week into the term. I hope all families have had a wonderful break over Christmas and the New Year and are ready for the big year ahead. We welcome 6 new families to our college who have been placed into 5 Red.

Throughout the first week, the boys have been engaged in cricket and swimming trials, music auditions, testing and some school work in between. The boys have even managed to give Mr Greene a hand in planting a number of young plants in the new 5 Red garden.

Throughout this term our class will be engaged in topics that cover ‘Being Australian’ and ‘Aboriginal Culture’. If you have any aboriginal artefacts/items at home, we would love to display them in the classroom.

Our new maths program involves the students to be more hands on as they discover what it means to be a typical student. Go Maths will still be completed on a weekly basis.

The Sound Waves program has been introduced to our college which is to assist all with their spelling. The class has had an interesting week attempting to sound out various consonant and vowel sounds.

The class seems to have settled in well over the week as they get used to their new routines. Should any parent need to contact me, you may phone the college office or contact me through the college email – crispk@njc.qld.edu.au

I look forward to meeting many of you throughout the year.

Kind regards

Kevin Crisp
