Week 6 - Term 1


Good morning parents,

Welcome to Week 6, I can't believe the first term is almost over. It has gone so fast!! I hope that you stayed out of the rain on the weekend...I was lucky enough to go to Leeuwin to see Paul Kelly...amazing!


REMINDERS – WEEK 6

Swimming Lessons – Began without a hitch, thank you very much for making sure that your children had all that they needed…it was absolutely gorgeous down there today!




Parent Help Needed – I am looking for some help with our reading groups on a Monday and Tuesday at 9am beginning next week. I would need you for approximately 30 minutes.
You would be there to provide supervision, reading and literacy support to a small group of students…no previous experience necessary! You would have a group leader and a very clear explanation of what the students need to do.
I will put a roster up outside our class for the remainder of the term, if you are able to come in for any time, it would be greatly appreciated! I can not guarantee that you will be placed with your child for this time as we have a set schedule that the students work through. Please don’t feel bad if you are unable to help because of work or younger siblings or other commitments, I completely understand!

Harmony Day – Friday 29th March. There was some information included in my post last week from Julie Birch asking for any parents who may have been born in another country and might have some stories, art or activity to share. Please contact her directly if you can help – Julie.birch@cewa.edu.au I will be hosting a group in my room on this day that will be making Friendship Bracelets – I would love a couple of parent helpers to come in for this time to lend a hand. Please let me know if you are able to help!

OUR LEARNING – WEEK 6
Once again, we have been very busy in Year 4, in our literacy lessons we have published out good copies of our setting descriptions and they are fantastic…we have now moved on to looking at resolving the problems that appear in our stories and how we can make sure that we layer them into our story to keep our reader engaged and guessing!



In our Friendology session last week, we discussed the importance of positive thinking and the impact that a Power Statement can have on our thinking. Your child may have brought home their power statement with them today, I have asked that they place them somewhere that they will see it easily. I have asked them to ask permission before blu tacking onto walls! There were some great phrases chosen – when said with the accompanying power pose it can help turn negative thinking around. Come in and check out our display!

HOMEWORK - WEEK 6

Please see below for the homework assigned for this week. If you can please support your child to complete all parts of their homework each week. This helps with their personal organisation reduces anxiety of getting in trouble when it is not done. 
1. Reading - Students are to read for 10 minutes each night and enter it into their Reading Log. They are to bring it to you to be signed each night. 

2. Timetables practise 6's - The students are to practise at least 5 times throughout the week at home. Please sign their Homework log when you have done this.

3. Mental Maths- Complete Unit 5, p 10&11. This will be marked in class each morning so please make sure your child includes this in their homework folder every morning.

4. Spelling - the students are to complete LSCWC with their spelling words each night. There are no dictionary definitions this week as these words are repeated due to an interrupted week last week.

Enjoy this beautiful weather!

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!

The mass will begin at 1.30 pm and afterwards there will be an afternoon tea for the parents and parishioners to share together.

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
