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.

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 ...
