5H OLC

Four more days and we will be halfway through Year 5! Time flies when you are having fun!  Your children have worked incredibly well so far this year and have made wonderful personal progress. They are a very enthusiastic bunch and love to learn, making our job a joy! They all deserve a holiday after an eleven-week term of learning.  Unfortunately, I was not at school today as my daughter, Emily, has viral tonsillitis.  Mrs Serena O'Brien taught from my programmes and Mr Torrese will teach the class tomorrow.  Hopefully, I will be back on Wednesday!   Year 5 Recipe Book Fundraiser Thank you if you have already sent in your recipes for our Year 5 P&F Fundraiser.   We have been told that it is going to be a stunning quality book with Caroline Moylan’s photography.  It will be sold within our school and our greater Dunsborough community!

  We are feeling fine for Week Nine and would like to share a couple of recaps and reminders with our 5H families:   INT RODUCTORY PROGRAMME ON GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT Last Friday, we had a very informative guest speaker, Lucy, present via two Zoom sessions, the ‘I Am Nature’s Greatest Miracle,’ introductory programme, on growth and development. The boys and girls had separate presentations to engage in a programme specific to their gender needs in a safe and comfortable environment.     The session provided your child with a gentle introduction to information about their growth as they prepare to head into their next stage of development, puberty.  The groups’ behaviour throughout each session was very mature and open, with many of their wonderings being asked and answered. Hopefully, the presentation opened further discussion opportunities for you at home.  Another session will take place in Year 6. Meals after wheels This Tuesday, the 15th o...
