Term 4, Week 6
Week
6, Term 4
Can
you believe we are nearly half way through week 6 of Term 4? Pretty incredible!
I trust you all enjoyed the beautiful weather on the weekend.
A
few reminders for this week.
Character
Strength Focus - We have a
great one this week, looking at the strength of Perspective!
This is a valuable strength to tap into and draw on when things
feel difficult or hard to navigate...we all have that friend that we turn to
for perspective! As a family, can you identify times when you see this strength
being used?
Year 5 End of
Year Concert Dress
The theme for the
end of year concert dress is ‘Casual Christmas Wear’. Christmas colours,
t-shirts and Christmas accessories are all perfect for the
occasion. The Year 5’s are also welcome to add
some hip-hop flair to their outfit such as a cap
backwards, sunnies on or even
Mrs Sherborne
Vinnie's Christmas
Hamper Appeal
There is currently a box in the classroom
that donations to this very worthy cause can be placed. Year five are responsible
for bringing along some Christmas Goodies: Chocolates, tinned fruit, non
perishable fruit juices, nuts, small gifts, pampering items, vouchers (KMart,
coffee, etc).
Thank you for helping to make
someone’s Christmas a little more special this year.
Laptop
Care - I received a great email from Janine
Johnson our IT Coordinator with some excellent advice on what to do if there
are any liquid spills close to your child's laptop.
Press
the power button in for approximately 10 seconds to turn off the laptop.
a. Do this immediately to minimise damage.
b. Do
not spend time saving your work and doing a normal shutdown.
c. Turn
the laptop upside down onto a towel (so it is as flat as possible)
d. Leave
the laptop off and let me know what has happened.
e. Do
not turn the laptop back on
f. Do
not put the laptop in a container of rice (rice
may get stuck in the laptop and cause further damage)
Homework
You
may have noticed that the children have not been bringing their homework home for
the last two weeks. Adrian and I decided, that with the children currently
working very hard on many things in class as well as lots of assessments, a
stop in the homework may give them a little bit of time to recoup after school.
I did have a chat to the children that reading every night is always a given,
but there is no need to record that.
See
Saw
A
big thank you to all the parents that are taking the time to view their
children’s posts and making comments. They love seeing your responses to their
work. The children have been working hard on a variety of things in class and
See Saw is a great way for them to share and discuss with you what went into
the activity and what they are learning from it.
I
hope you all have a brilliant week.
