Maths and Home Learning Books
Hi Parents and Caregivers
Below are photos of the covers of a great series of books available called Start Right from The Warehouse and Paper Plus for around $25.
These are great for students to consolidate what they have learnt in class, in their own time, with assistance from you if required, (the answers are in the back).
The maths book comes in every year group so if your child is confident with maths feel free to purchase the year above (i.e. if your child is in Year 3, purchase the Year 4 book). The homework book covers all topics.

It's Possible
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtG6-bAoxe4
IT’S POSSIBLE (PART 1)
JOJO This might be a pool Like I've read of in books Connected to one of those underground brooks! An underground river That starts here and flows Right under this bathtub! And then, who knows?
It's possible! Anything's possible!
(JOJO's imagination starts to expand.)
It might go along, Down where no one can see Right under state highway Two hundred and three! Right under the wagons! Right under the toes Of Mrs. Umbroso! Who's hanging out clothes!
It's possible! Anything's possible.
JOJO, CAT It's possible! Anything's possible!
Page 12 of 33
JOJO This might be a river Now mightn't it be Connecting McElligot's Pool with the sea! Then maybe some fish might be swimming... Swimming toward me!
(We are suddenly underwater. Strange fish appear — all shapes and sizes, wildly-colored and wildly improbable.)
ALL Ah...! Oo-wee-ee-ee-ee-ooh!
It's possible
It's possible Ah...! Oo-wee-ee-ee-ee-ooh!
It's possible
It's possible Ah... .... ....!
JOJO ALL Oh, the sea is so full Ooh ... Wah-ooh ... Of a number of fish If a fellow is patient Ooh ... Wah-ooh ... He might get his wish! And that's why I think Ooh ... Wah-ooh ... That I'm not such a fool
ALL When I sit here and fish
JOJO In McElligot's pool! It's possible.
WOMEN It's possible
MEN It's possible
JOJO Anything's
ALL Possible
JOJO It's possible
WOMEN It's possible
MEN It's possible JOJO Anything's
ALL Possible
JOJO It's possible... Anything... Anything...
(Music fades out. JOJO's parents abruptly interrupt his fantasy, bearing mops.)
MR. MAYOR Jojo! The tub's overflowed on the floor! The water is running right under the door!
MRS. MAYOR The ceiling is peeling! You've flooded the den! Oh, JoJo, I think you've been thinking again!
MR. MAYOR I say this with firmness and terrible sorrow, Young man, we will deal with you come tomorrow!
(MR. and MRS. MAYOR exit.)
11 — IT’S POSSIBLE (PART 2)
JOJO I still think That I'm not such a fool When I sit here and fish In McElligot's pool!
CAT It's possible.

(The FISH magically re-appear.)
ALL Anything's possible!
(Attention changes to HORTON, sitting alone, guarding his clover.)

CAT (to JOJO) Our story begins With a very strange sound The drums of a jungle Beginning to pound
CAT Now, imagine a sky
BOY I'll imagine bright blue
CAT It's the Jungle of Nool!
BOY Near the River Walloo!
ALL (except Cat & Boy) (4X who who wah dah)
Who who wah dah
Who who who wah dah dah dah
Who who wah dah
Who who who wah dah
CAT Now think of an elephant lumbering through.
ALL (except Cat & Boy) Who who wah dah
Who who who wah dah dah dah
BOY (spoken) Horton!
CAT (spoken) Yes, Horton
CAT, BOY (spoken) Horton Hears a Who!
HORTON On the fifteenth of May In the jungle of Nool In the heat of the day In the cool of the pool He was splashin
ALL (except Horton) Splash!
HORTON Enjoying the jungle's great joys When Horton the elephant
BOY Horton the Elephant
ALL Horton the elephant
HORTON Heard a small noise
MAYOR (Offstage, distant and tiny) Help! Help!
BIRD GIRLS So Horton stopped splashing He looked toward the sound
HORTON That's funny
BIRD GIRLS Thought Horton
HORTON There's no one around
BIRD GIRLS Then he heard it again Just a very faint yelp
HORTON As if some tiny person were calling for help
MAYOR (Offstage, distant and tiny) Help! Help!
HORTON I'll help you
BIRD GIRLS Said Horton
HORTON But who are you, and where?
BIRD GIRLS He looked and he looked He could see nothing there
HORTON But a small speck of dust blowing past...
BIRD GIRLS Woosh!
HORTON Through the air
HORTON (spoken) I say! How confusing! I've never heard tell
Of a small speck of dust that is able to yell So you know what I think? Why I think that there must be someone on top of that small speck of dust Some poor tiny person Who's shaking with fear That he'll blow in the pool! He has no way to steer! He's alone in the universe...! I'll just have to save him Because after all A person's a person, no matter how small. A person's a person no matter how small.
ALL (except Cat, Boy & Horton) Who who wah dah who who who wah dah dah dah who who wah dah who who
BIRD GIRLS So, gently, and using The greatest of care The elephant stretched His great trunk through the air And he lifted the dust speck And carried it over and placed it down
HORTON (spoken) Safe!
BIRD GIRLS On a very soft clover

Old witch Whackety fell off
her broom stick and came
down smackety smack
and then she realised she needed to go back!

Lightning and Thunder Poem by James
Lightning and Thunder
From my window I can see,
lightning dart in front of me.
Not long after I can hear,
thunder splitting in my ear.
Lightning moves at the speed of light,
thunder can give you a really big fright.
Lightning flashes,
thunder crashes.
Here I am, in my bed,
here I am, cuddling Ted.

Fix It! Club
Fix It! will be held every Wednesday lunchtime during term time from the 23rd August until the end of the year. The club will involve using tools, such as screwdrivers. Parental permission will be required.
We are in need of some more objects and tools for Fix It! Currently we have several small screwdrivers, an LED light, some taps, a wooden box, a radio and some other small items. If you have any unused tools, or anything broken that would be fun for a year 3 or 4 to take apart and put back together, please get in touch with me.
Kind regards
Heather Owen
