The school website is an amazing resource that enables us to post photos and activities that your child completes throughout the year. It is also an excellent tool for parent and community communication which allows you to keep up to date with what it happening in our class and around the school. I regularly update our class page and add a reminder on our weekly classroom noticeboard, our Connect page and also in class newsletters to remind you to regularly check the page. |

Term 2 Homework : Studyladder
|
For homework this term we will be revising the mathematics concepts covered in Term 1 using the program studyladder. Each week I will assign a new group of activities for your child to complete. The majority will be maths activities, with some literacy activities also included. Studyladder will only allow your child to complete 3 activities each afternoon so they will need to log on regularly throughout the week.

Time Games For Home
|
We have recently been working hard on time to the 5 minutes. There are two fantastic websites which can help consolidate this understanding at home. Both are tablet friendly.
Year 3 students need to be able to do both skills confidently. We will continue to build on this understanding next semester with time to the minute. For your convenience use the buttons to go straight to the websites. |

Typing Tournament & Maths Invaders
Access to both of these websites has been paid for by NKPS. Typing Tournament is a program designed to get your child more confident typing and quick at using the keyboard. Maths invaders focuses on basic number facts and will help with your child's fluency.
The user name and password are the same for both sites and have been sent home with our Term 2 class newsletter.

Virtual Open Night
Thank you to parents and guests who were able to make it to the Open Night on Tuesday 2-4-19. At NKPS we believe that education works best when there is a partnership between school and home. I have posted a Virtual Open Night for those who were unable to attend. Or maybe you'd like to show relatives living in other places where your child goes to school each day.

Welcome to Year 3!
My name is Luke Riseberry, I moved from Perth originally in 2004 for only one term but have been lucky enough to call Kalgoorlie my home ever since. My first two years in Kalgoorlie I taught at Hannans Primary School. I have taught at North Kalgoorlie Primary School since 2006. I achieved Senior Teacher status in 2014 in the Education Department which acknowledges the extra roles and responsibilities I have at our school. I have taught Year 3 for the majority of my time at NKPS and have been the Year 3 Phase Leader for the last 10 years. I am passionate about North Kalgoorlie Primary School. My wife teaches here and my daughter is also a student. I look forward to establishing a positive working partnership with yourself and your child. |

Class Rules and NKPS Behaviour Expectations
|
In Week 1, the children were put into small groups. They were given post-it-notes and told to write down all the good things they wanted to see happen in Room 2 and also all the bad things they did not want to see.
We then had a class discussion about N.K.P.S Behaviour Expectations. We discussed what we thought Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Caring and Be Your Best meant. As a class, we grouped all of the post-it-note 'rules' into the N.K.P.S Behaviour Expectations. We saw there were lots of cross over themes which helped to further illustrate how we do not need an extensive list of rules in our class. If we follow the four N.K.P.S Behaviour Expectations it will create a positive, safe, successful learning environment. The children then split back into their own groups to design and publish their own posters for the N.K.P.S Behaviour Expectations. Check out their amazing work in the gallery below! |

As you would know by now, N.K.P.S runs a PATHS program across the school. Each day we have a different student that is selected to be Room 2's PATHS Kid of the Day. At the end of each day the PATHS Kid of the Day gets to sit up the front and chooses children from the class to give them compliments.
