IT"S BEEN A WHILE....

Goodness me, it's been a while since my last post but now we're back in action.

Here are this week's words:
nearly dreary appear disappear
tearful fearful sheer career
engineer cheerful auctioneer profiteer
merely sincere sphere hemisphere
revere adhere

Don't forget your homework for this week is 'The People in My Pocket'. Make sure you've covered all the bank notes by the end of the week. Why were these people chosen to be on our bank notes?

WEEK THREE AND THE TERM IS FLYING BY!

Well done to Jake, Ben, Audrey and Sophie for winning the Grade 5 hockey competition today...a fantastic effort!

Here are our spelling words for this week:

Grade 5 words - focus on the 'air' sound:
bare care dared share scare
spare stared prepare prayer bear
wear tear there where chair
pair fair hairdresser downstairs

Extension words - focus on homophones:
heard herd
council counsel
compliment complement
stationery stationary
principle principal
there their
straight strait
idle idol
sheer shear

HERE'S A HINT...
Do you have trouble keeping THERE and THEIR straight? Remember, start HERE to get THERE.

I hope your projects on Famous Australians are progressing well. Keep working hard to make sure they are ready to be handed in on Thursday 12 August.

Have a great week!
