Week 4 Term 4

 What an incredible term of learning we are having! 

The class are busy learning about fractions, researching and writing an information report about their chosen illness, delving deeply into the characters of our class novel, Wonder, revising our Friendology skills, learning about the leaders of the Church in Religion and creating their own screen saver in Visual Arts. 

It was a fantastic reward for them to share their favourite picture books with Pre Primary on Friday… What a fabulous way to practice their fluency and expression!!

                    





 















HOME LEARNING

Thank you to those of you who are signing our Home Learning Grids and ensuring your child is completing their set homework. 

 Spelling focus: the phone “ow”  as in flower, cloud, plough, coward and doubt

Wonder Reading: please ensure your child has read up to page 145 by the end of this week.  Remember you can read some of the novel out loud to them to help them catch up if they are behind.

We continue our times table learning this week with the 9x table.  There are lots of tricks for the 9s available on you tube (search 9 times table tricks!) The class are loving earning their mini certificates for mastering their weekly facts!  So far, we have had 100% success rate with everyone earning their certificates for the 4x and 3x tables.  Great job everyone!

 Our act of kindness deeds this week are focused on “growth”

·      Learn to say ‘How are you?’ in another language

2021 Leadership Speeches

This year we will be asking anyone who is interested in nominating themselves to be the 2021 Head Girl or Head Boy, to prepare 
(in their own time) a speech that they will present to an audience of Year 4-6 students and teachers. 
We are encouraging students who would like to put themselves forward for this opportunity to utilise the following resources and questions below.

The presentations will take place on Tuesday Week 8. 
Once again, this will only be for students who are passionate about being a school leader next year (Head/Deputy Girl or Boy) and those not interested in these roles will not be asked to present a speech.

Please be aware that while student and staff voting will take place and the results will be strongly considered, the ultimate decision will be made by Mr Lee and the School Leadership Team. 

Good luck to all those students nominating themselves for a significant student leadership role in 2021!

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 4 Week 7

  The following recount was written collaboratively by Paige, Georgia, Flynn,  Tieg, Justin, Jasper, Jeremy, Joe, Mahley and Noah. It is Part One of our Cape Naturaliste Experience!!   On Monday the 16 th of November we went to the historical Cape Naturalise National Park.  We travelled by bus and it took 11 minutes to get to this magnificent location!       First of all, we met Josh Whiteland, who is a Wardandi Custodian of the local region.  Wardandi means “forest people by the sea.” He calls the land "country".  Aboriginal people see “country” as being like a mother.  It gives to them what they need and protects them.  Respect of country is the backbone of Noongar people. Josh learned all of his knowledge from Aboriginal elders in our region.  He encouraged us to make a “connection to country” where we can become “cultural custodians” thus developing our own identity and sense of belonging to the place in which we live.   Josh led us on a brilliant bushwalk (approx

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
