We have laminated your child's login and sent it home with them today. We have bought lots of amazing programs this year like Bug Club, Cracking Comprehension, SumDog and Times Tables Rockstars. However, with all these programs comes different usernames and passwords, it's a lot to remember. Wonde is a program that combines all of those usernames, so that you only have to remember one. Click on the image, WONDE and use either the emojis or QR code to log in. You will then have access to all of the programs without having to log in to them.
Well done to all those that have been working so hard all week to complete the Maths competition.

Our Story Map - Twas the night before Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the heart of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
“Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on Donner and Blitzen!
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
His eyes- how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”

Information and Homework
Happy Friday Swifts!
Another busy week at St Mary of the Angels is over. We have accomplished so much this week. In English we wrote our own version of ‘The Miracle of the Poinsettia’. Next week we will be moving onto poetry and learning the poem, ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’. We are still learning the topic of multiplication and division in Maths and have explored the relationship between them (the inverse). We know that we can use our multiplication facts to answer division calculations. In the lead up to Christmas we will be getting very crafty and developing childrens art and design skills through fun Christmas crafts. Our class novel ‘Sam Wu is Not Afraid of Ghosts’ has come to an end, the children absolutely loved it. We are now starting 'Pugs of The Frozen North' These might be nice stocking fillers.
Lastly, I would like to say how lovely it was to talk to all the parents this week. The support the children receive at home is clear to see and I feel blessed to work with such a supportive group of parents and carers.
Thank you:
We managed to gather an amazing amount of rice for our 'Reverse Advent Calendar' appeal.
