Term 1 Week 4


PARENT REPS
Our sincerest apologies go out to Kristie Chapman who also put her hand up to be our Year 5H parent rep, along with Krishna Taylor and Caroline Moylan.  I misread an email Kristie sent and failed to realise that she too was volunteering for the role and had been responsible for recruitment!  Our huge appreciation goes out to this trio!
LENT

 We came together as a whole school on Wednesday to mark the beginning of Lent with a lovely prayer service led by the Year 6s. Throughout Lent we are encouraged to pray for others, fast (give up something that we enjoy) and participate in almsgiving (giving to those in need). In 5H, the children have nominated one thing for each area (Pray, Fast, Give) that they are going to try and do over the next 40 days.  These are on display in our classroom.  We encourage you to discuss your child's choices with them and assist them in finding a time during their day to pray for their intention.





 SWIMMING CARNIVAL TAKE 2!
Our rescheduled swimming carnival is next Tuesday the 3rd of March. 

Please make sure that your child is wearing their sport uniform (faction t-shirt) over their bathers and thongs. 
Your child will also need:
  •  school hat
  •  rashie
  •  towel
  • goggles
  • full water bottle
  • lunch box with enough healthy snacks to last the day!
  •  Sunscreen applied before leaving home (we will take extra to apply throughout the day!)
Please ensure all of the above items are labelled with your child's name.

If you would like to take your child home with you from the pool you will need to come and let us know at the conclusion of the carnival. 

 SMMC ENROLMENT PACKS

 Enrollment packs for St Mary MacKillop College were sent home Thursday afternoon with children who are yet to enroll.  These applications are due by the 30th March.

CLASS LIBRARY

 The children are really enjoying the part of our reading rotations where they are able to choose a book to read for pleasure!  Our class library is filling up with fiction and non-fiction garage sale bargains, hand me downs from the Terrese and King libraries and some sizable deliveries from our own school library.  Thank you to Mary Lee Kemp (pictured below, delivering this week's library gift and being team hugged  by Paige, Priya and Prada...the Triple P hug!) for her incredible work in our school library. There is still a few spots left in our bookshelf if you have any pre-loved children's books gathering dust on your shelves at home!

Term 4, Week 8

Week 8, Term 4 Wow, can you believe we are here already? The children are doing such an incredible job of finishing off some great work from the term, creating beautiful Christmas pieces for our residents at the retirement village and getting their “Creative” on with their portraits in Art. Just a few reminders for the last couple of weeks. Advent We are currently celebrating and learning about the period of Advent. Advent is a period of spiritual preparation in which many Christians make themselves ready for the coming, or birth of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Celebrating Advent typically involves a season of prayer, fasting, and repentance, followed by anticipation, hope, and joy. We celebrate Advent not only by thanking God for Christ's first coming to Earth as a baby, but also for his presence among us today through the Holy Spirit, and in preparation and anticipation of his final coming at the end of the age. The children have been preparing an Advent Calendar of Random

Term 2 Week 1

Welcome back to Term 2! Commencement of this term will mean different things for different families, as you will be choosing to either continue home schooling or to send your child to school. Please be assured that we will respect whatever your decision is. We continue to have your child's best interests at heart and will be sensitive to their needs and feelings. HOME LEARNING In the weeks ahead we will be posting our home learning programme on the blog each Sunday evening.   This will provide details of the work to be completed in a daily Monday to Friday format.   We understand that parents fit home learning around their daily routines and that activities will take different children differing amounts of time. Therefore, there will not be times on our programme.   This way you will be able to adjust your learning sessions to times that work for both you and your child.  There will, however, be scheduled Teams Meetings (both for whole class and small groups).   Thes

Week 9, Term 4

 Week 9, Term 4!  Great job on making it to week nine guys. Only a few more days to go and the kids will be soaking up that Summer Sun.  What a great term we have had. I honestly feel so blessed to have worked with your children this term. They are a brilliant bunch of souls who are going to soar in Grade Six.  Just a couple of reminders for this week.  Christmas Concert : As mentioned previously, the Christmas Concert is taking place this Tuesday 7th December. It commences at 6pm, so please  ensure that your child comes to class by 5.40pm.  As a class we will walk down together and into our places, while you can find a nice spot on the hill to settle back and enjoy the show. St Vinnie's Donations: A reminder that we are collecting Christmas food and decorative items...if you can please have them in  by Wednesday , we would be very appreciative! Many families have contributed, however if you haven't as yet it is a great yet simple way to give back during the festive season. Hel
