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!

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

  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

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
