Welcome to Room 20
I would like to welcome you and your child to Room 20. I am
thrilled to have your children in my class this year and am excited by the
challenges and opportunities that 2019 will bring. I look forward to working

full potential and the best outcomes possible.

NAPLAN
Testing will be held in May.
Students are assessed using common national tests in Reading, Writing,
Language Conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and Numeracy.
NAPLAN is not a pass or fail type test. Individual student performance
is shown on a national achievement scale for each test.
The performance of individual students can be compared to the average
performance of all students in Australia.
NAPLAN
Planner has been used in Term 4 2018, and Term 1 2019.
Reading,
Language Conventions and Numeracy tests will be online this year. Children will
handwrite their piece for the Writing test.
Students
have many opportunities to get used to test language, content and format.
Sample questions and a sample writing tasks can be
accessed on the NAP website:
www.nap.edu.au.
