Week 9 Term 4

 What an incredible year of learning and growth we have had in 5H!   Sadly it is our final week together although it continues to be a busy one! 

OUR LEARNING

This week we will be concluding our Wonder unit of work and will be rewarded by viewing the movie on Tuesday to compare it to the book.  We will continue to write Information Reports on how other countries celebrate Christmas and will also be writing a Christmas “Poetree” using some of the Figurative Language we have learnt this term.  We will be having any repeat tests for children who needed more practise time to try and earn their ninja times table certificates.  Thank you to Joe and Jeremy, our photographers last week who took some snaps around our classroom of our recent activities.

                                   

                             

















ADVENT

We began Advent last week with a prayer around the advent wreath.  We made an advent chain that is going to help us count down the days until Christmas.  On each link of the chain we wrote a kind deed that we could do that day to “Make Jesus Real” in the lead up to celebrating his birthday on 25thof December.  We will be breaking one chain off each day and will try and action what is written on it.

                                                    





CHRISTMAS CONCERT

Our Christmas Concert is this Tuesday, the 8th of December.  Please ensure that your child is at our class by 5:20p.m.  The students are asked to wear Christmas colours. 5H will be joining 5J to sing you a Christmas song they have been practising with Mrs Sherborne in their music lessons! For more information please view the latest OLC newsletter.  We look forward to seeing you all there!


LEADERSHIP SPEECHES

Congratulations to the children who presented their leadership speeches last Tuesday.  Next year's Head Boy and Girl will be announced at the Christmas Concert.

 


LEAVER’S TSHIRTS

Please return your Leaver’s T-Shirt Order form ASAP.  The children voted for their design last week. It was a tough choice with some great designs from our Year 5 artists!  The shirts are available for sizing in the 6R wet area opposite 5H.

 


SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL CHRISTMAS HAMPER APPEAL

The hampers are to be presented at assembly on Friday.  5H has been asked to bring in toiletries: shampoos, brush, toothpaste, toothbrushes, lip balm, sunscreen, moisturisers, soap, perfume etc.  Thank you for helping to make someone’s Christmas a little more special this year.

 

LIBRARY BOOKS

Please have a hunt around your homes for any books belonging to school as all library books including WONDER are now due back. 

 

CHILDREN’s BOOKS

Please send in a recyclable bag with your child on Wednesday as we will begin sending home books over the final few days.

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

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.

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
