Year 4D OLC

Welcome to week 5, hopefully everyone was able to stay fairly dry over the weekend!!  As you may be aware, Mrs D is on the Year 6 camp and Mrs Martin will be in class this week.  Go Fish Musical/Performance Assembly  - The students have been working very hard preparing for our musical 'Go Fish' and it is all coming together swimmingly!!  Caitlin and I have been discussing the work that the students have been putting into this musical and the proposed performances next week.  On this basis, these performances will constitute our class performance assemblies and we will not be having a separate  performance assembly.  We will still have our class prayer assemblies.   Performances of our musical will be next week at 1:30 on Wednesday 6 June (matinee) and at 6:30 pm on Friday 8 June.  Please, if you are available do come along, it is VERY good!!  Tuesday 5 June Pupil Free Day  - Just a reminder that next Tuesday is a pupil free day, so please do not send your child to sc

Good afternoon parents, I hope that you all had a chance to watch the wedding on the weekend...I love me a good wedding! I loved the dress and the flowers...a hopeless romantic I am!! I was wiped out on the couch with a sore back which was no fun but gave me a good excuse to watch all the highlights of the wedding...again...and then watch the Eagles school Richmond! I am thinking I might need to book those GF tickets if anyone has an in...please let me know! REMINDERS - WEEK 4 NAPLAN - A very big well done to all of the children! I was very proud to see them putting their test taking skills into practice and persevering when it got hard! Go Fish Musical - Please make sure that all costume items are in to Mrs Horrocks by tomorrow afternoon. Here is a screenshot of the email that was sent home which outlines what is needed for each character. Stationery Items - If I can please ask that you take some time this week to check your child's stationery

Good afternoon parents, I hope that all of you amazing mums were well looked after yesterday! REMINDERS - WEEK 3 NAPLAN - This begins tomorrow morning and the schedule runs as outlined below. Tuesday 15th May - Language Conventions (40 minutes) & Writing (40 minutes). Wednesday 16th May - Reading (45 minutes) Thursday 17th May - Numeracy (45 minutes) You will see on Tuesday that we have two assessments to complete, we will do one in the first morning session and the second will be after recess. My focus is on keeping the whole week low key and stress free! I have been reminding the students that this test only tells the assessors a little about their learning...it doesn't tell them about their other talents and strengths. As their cheerleaders, we are only asking for their best effort :)  I will have their tables organised and ready to go for the morning already set up in test conditions. If I can ask if you can make sure they have a good breakfast and

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to another fantastic week in Year 3...I hope that you all enjoyed (survived) the return to winter sport over the weekend?!

Please let Mrs Horrocks know if you are able to help with costumes, props or catering but are unable to make the meeting this afternoon.

It begins at 7.30am and is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all the amazing mums in our community! Reading Books - Just a reminder that I am getting a bit tough on only changing these on Monday's. The books sent home are suitable for your child's reading level and are meant to be read more than once...this helps to build vocabulary, sight word recognition and familiarity with the text. Haircuts - It is

Go od afternoon parents, Mrs Horrocks has asked for me to post some information about the upcoming Musical 'Go Fish' on Friday 8th June (Week 6) this term.  If you have any questions about the performance, including costumes or the logistics of the musical then Mrs Horrocks is the person to ask! We will be having a short meeting on Monday 7th May at 3.15pm. It would be great if you could make it!  If you are unable to make the meeting, but are keen to help...please let me know.  More importantly she is looking for volunteers who can donate some of their time to assist with costumes, the set and other roles.  If this is something you can assist with, then please contact or see Mrs Horrocks on that Monday. Thanks again for your ongoing support. Times Tables Quiz - Today in class I did a short quiz to check their knowledge of all their tables. As I mentioned in my blog post on Monday students in Year 3 are only expected to know their 2's, 3's, 5's
