Week 9 Important Reminders


Welcome to Week 9! We are almost at the end of a very interesting semester of learning and as Mr Lee pointed out to the class last week, they are nearly in Year 5 and a Half!  Lots of learning and improvements have been made in the first half of the year and we are very proud of the efforts that are being put in by the students to make that happen!

In this week’s blog we thought we would remind you of a few important dates for your diary:

Year 5 and 6 Camp to Forest Edge - Waroona
We have been given the green light that our senior classes are able to attend camp for the first three days of term three, July 20 - 22.   If you have not yet returned your permission slip and medical form, please do so by the end of this week so we are able to finalise numbers and begin to plan dorms/activity groups etc…  The camp will be a wonderful opportunity to practice our Growth Mindsets!

Pyjama day
Last Friday afternoon, the class were told by the Year 6s that there is to be a Pyjama Day for the whole school this coming Friday! We think the Year 6s have been reading some of our persuasive writing as 5H were trying to persuade me to have a pyjama day to celebrate our incredible reading of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and activities completed this term. Our persuasive writing was obviously so successful that the whole school is now invited to wear pyjamas this Friday for a gold coin donation for Project Compassion! Please note that your child will need to wear sneakers though, not slippers or ugg boots. 

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Celebration Day
Because the children will already by wearing pyjamas this Friday, we will have a “Trackie Day” instead next Tuesday the 30th of June! On this day we plan to see who will be the lucky “Hot Chocolatte” Golden Ticket Winners and watch the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movies to compare and contrast them with the book.  We will also be making hot chocolates with marshmallows and having an afternoon “read in” of Roald Dahl’s other novels! A permission slip for your child to watch the 2005 version of the movie (as this is rated PG) and to join in with the hot chocolate making will be coming home this week.  They will need to B.Y.O. a mug, cushion and any Roald Dahl books from their shelves on this day!

Cross Country

Next Wednesday 1st July, the Cross Country Carnival will be taking place from approximately 9.15-11am. Presentations will be held next term when we are eventually able to hold assemblies again. Students are to wear their sports uniform with their faction polos. They will require a spare change of clothes (including shoes and socks) in case the weather is inclement. Children may bring along coloured decorations and wear coloured zinc. 

Parents are welcome to attend and watch. It is asked that you park in the top Naturaliste Road Car Park or the Sloan Drive Carpark, as the gravel carpark will be closed.


Absences
We appreciate you continuing to keep your child at home if they are feeling unwell to help stop the spread of germs and colds.  I am always concerned about the Maths that children miss on extended absence and will send home missed activities for them to complete at home.  If you are planning on escaping early to some nice warm weather at the end of this term or next term, please visit the lovely Fran in the office to fill out an extended leave form.

Buddy Time

We finally found a moment last week to spend some time with our Pre Primary buddies.  I always love seeing the Year 5s shine our School Values during this time as they become role models to our little ones! 


















Congratulation to Holly for earning our Class Award last week!  Keep up the super efforts!




We hope you have a wonderful week and please keep supporting your child to hand in their completed Homework and signed Home Learning Grids each Friday!
Kathy and Adrian

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
