Welcome to Term 2!

Welcome to Term 2, 5H families! 
We have an action packed 11 weeks of learning ahead of us! 
But first to recap on the end of Term 2! 

PARENT MEETINGS 
It was so wonderful to have you in our 5H learning space to discuss your child. We really enjoyed sharing their strengths and discussing their focus areas with you. We hope you had time to share their GROWTH MINDSET booklet with them over the holidays and keep it handy for those moments that your child might need a positive mindset boost. If you are interested in working on this area with your child, then a recommended website is https://biglifejournal.com.au/ If you sign up for their weekly newsletter you can access great free printables. The site also has a link to an excellent podcast for your child to listen to. We will be following up on any areas discussed in the meetings over the next couple of weeks. 

OUR EASTER STORY 
Your children made us so proud in the way they presented the Easter Story to the rest of the school in the final week. Their reading was exceptional! Their acting, Golden Logie nomination worthy! And their teamwork behind the scenes, brilliant! It was a wonderful way to collaborate for the end of our first term together.
SWIMMING CARNIVAL 
What an incredible day to finish Term 1! We were so proud of all the year 5H students who tried their very best to earn points for their faction. There was fantastic growth mindset on display. We especially loved seeing them congratulate each other for their own personal bests at the end of each race. Congratulations to the overall winners of the swimming Carnival, Geographe, although we do have to say that we think Naturaliste were the winners of best cheering! A special congratulations to Mila for being our Year 5 Champion Girl, Olivia for being Runner Up Year 5 Girl and to Xavier for being our Runner Up Year 5 Champion Boy.
STAR CITIZEN - COMPASSION 
Congratulations to Scarlett Dearlove for winning our star citizen award at the end of term 1 for the compassion she displays to others on a daily basis. You are such a kind and thoughtful person Scarlett!

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 ...
