Welcome to Week 3, Term 2

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 are as organised as possible to reduce any stress or concerns.

 At the end of each assessment our normal learning program will resume...the Year 3 world doesn't stop!

 Casuals for Catholics - Is a free dress day on Friday 18th May. Please encourage your child to bring along a gold coin donation.
HOMEWORK - WEEK 3


Please see below the homework that has been assigned for the week. We have adjusted the homework load this week to keep things moving well at home :) 

Reading - All reading is to be written into their new reading log, including the name of the book and number of pages and then signed by you.

 Sight Words - If you can please work with your child to complete these every night. It is great to ask your child the definition of the word or to use that word in a sentence as well if you have time?

 Mental Maths - Students are to complete Days 1-4 of Unit 13. This is marked daily in class each morning. It is fine if students work ahead on this.

 Times Tables - Activity Sheet - 3 x Times Tables. Students are asked to write out their tables in order on Monday and Tuesday nights and then complete them out of order on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Have a great week,

Mrs Delane

Week 9...The Last One!

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the final week, if you are like me, I can remember October and then suddenly the term is at its end!  It has been a busy one here, I was lucky enough to head to the Player's night on Thursday down at Shark Park and then was also able to head to the Volunteers Breakfast on Sunday...had the best chat with Bob Murphy, he is one funny cat!  What a great opportunity for our town to have the players in, they were so appreciative of the opportunity to come and connect with their fans and were a pleasure to be around! I would like to say the biggest and most sincere thank you to you as a parent group, you have been so supportive of myself and your children and we have had a thoroughly brilliant year as a group!  To see how much the children have grown and changed is such a privilege and I am going to miss them all very very much. I wish you and your families, a enjoyable and restful break, I am sure we will see each other on the beach or around town betwe

Week 6 Has Arrived!

Good morning parents! I hope you are all staying nice and warm in this very strange weather...I have no idea what is going on with it! One minute it's warm and sunny and the next I'm reaching for the trackies and ugg boots!  I hope you all enjoyed the day off yesterday?! We had a great PL day yesterday looking in more detail at the Judging Standards created by the School Curriculum Authority. These are the documents that we use in conjunction with our professional judgement, your child's See Saw journal and work completed in class to determine grading for our reports.  We then finished the day throwing some rocks at the Dunsborough Country Club...under Neil's watchful gaze, I proved to be not a very good lawn bowler and a person who has no concept of medium pace...who knew??  We also farewelled Miss Cain on Thursday, the students were very sad to see her go and she was so sad to leave them...she had a warm and positive impact on the students in her time in 4DEL and we w

Week 10 - The Home Stretch!

Good afternoon! The last week has arrived...I can't believe it either! Term 2 has been such a busy and productive time, the students have worked like troopers producing some amazing pieces of work! We are very proud of the learning habits they have developed and the maturity they are showing as we grow closer to Year 5. In saying this, it is time for a well-deserved break! REMINDERS - WEEK 10 Father Ian and Mr Wilkie Farewell Mass   - Tomorrow Father Tony Chiera will be celebrating Mass with us in the hall to wish Mr Wilkie and Fr Ian a happy farewell and retirement. The mass will begin at 1.30 pm and afterwards there will be an afternoon tea for the parents and parishioners to share together. It has been asked if families in Years Four to Six provide a plate for this afternoon tea and take it to the hall in the morning. We thank you for your support with this. Pencil Cases Refill   - At the end of this week we will be sending the student's pencil cases ho
