Term Four

Hi everyone

One more term to go.
For those of you who are Year Six, your time at Bellevue School is nearly over.
I hope you all enjoy this Term.
This week we are going to be looking at insects. Cockroaches and Monarch Butterflies are on our reading menu.
Go to the learning space and have a look at some of the websites I have found for you.
We need to get our calendar covers completed very early this term. Start thinking about this.
We will be playing tee ball and maybe we could challenge the others Senior classes to some games in the afternoon.
Life Education will be part of our programme before the end of term.
This will be a short term but I am sure it will be an enjoyable one.

Reading Groups Two and Three

Group Three

This week we are looking at Hookers Sea Lions.We need to read about them and watch videos. While you are viewing the material on the site you need to take notes of the information you think is important.

Group Two

This week we will be reading about the Albatross. This bird has a huge wing span and spends much of its life at sea. This bird is very cool. So visit the site and see what you can find out about it. Think of an interesting way to record this information.
