Term 2 Week 7

Sorry Day

We had a great week last week learning and discussing National Sorry Day. It was fabulous to see the respect and curiosity that the students demonstrated...it was topped off with an amazing experience, where the whole school came together to spell out the word sorry on our school oval.  I bet if you ask them they will be able to point out where they are in the photo!  Hopefully your child's Sorry Day “Chatterbox” made it home safely and your child was able to teach you some of what they learnt in class.   















HOMEWORK WEEK 7 and 8

For the next fortnight, the children do not have Homework Grids to complete, as we have two short weeks (this week Thursday is the Winter Carnival and Friday is a Pupil Free Day and next week Monday is a public holiday and Tuesday is a Pupil Free Day!). 

 The only homework to complete during these two weeks is a choice of activity each night from the new Spelling Choice Grid in their homework book.  This week they must complete an activity on Monday and Tuesday night to hand in Wednesday morning.  Next week they must choose an activity on the Wednesday and Thursday night to hand in on the Friday morning.  Therefore, each week they only need to complete 2 spelling activities. 

 WINTER CARNIVAL

Thank you to all those who have returned the form to indicate whether your child will be returning by bus or leaving with you after the winter carnival.  If you have any questions remaining after reading the note, please email mandy.sinclair@cewa.edu.au

Reminder: the children wear their sports uniform on this day and bring any specialised equipment that they may need for their specific sport (eg:  Mouth guards).


Focus Character Strength 

This week we will be looking at the character strength of Creativity! 

Discuss with your child if they feel this is one of their strengths and where they might see this strength in action in other people.

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. 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

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
