Week 7 Information

Good morning everyone, 

I hope your weekend has treated you well and the children have had a chance to rest and recover ready for the last week of the their swimming lessons.

REMINDERS - WEEK 7

SWIMMING LESSONS: A big thank you to you all for being so organised with the children's swimming needs last week, the sessions are going well and the feedback I am getting is all positive - let's bring it home this week!  

Just a reminder that there is NO canteen at all this week, due to the students being absent at the eating times.

Majority of the children have been very responsible with applying sunscreen before we leave using the class sunscreen that I distribute, however can you please ensure that you remind your child of how important it is to do this.

STUDENT LAPTOPS: 
The students will be receiving their laptops to bring home today. The students will be having an information session with Mrs Janine Johnson and myself in library. In this session the students will find out the basics of how to use the laptop and the safety procedures that need to take place for them to ensure that are protected and cared for. They will also learn about what applications are currently installed on the laptops.

Obviously as we use these devices more and more, the students will develop a greater familiarity with its functions. Your child may have questions about the laptop and what they can do, please encourage them to ask and Janine will endeavour to answer as many questions as best possible.

Just a reminder that Janine is offering parent information sessions to share what she has done to setup and prepare the laptops for the children. These will take place on Monday 25th March and Tuesday 26th March at 2.15pm and 5.15pm in the Library if you are free to attend.

Please do not hesitate to contact myself or Janine (janine.johnson@cewa.edu.au) if you have any further questions about the laptops.


PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS: Year 4D Parent-Teacher meetings will be held across week 8 and week 9.

 I have placed a copy of the roster for our meetings on the white board near our Number Crunch section at the front. Please feel free to add your name to your desired time when you visit the classroom next. I am hoping that by offering a range of times, that I have catered for all families and their needs.
PARENT HELP NEEDED: We are looking for some help with our reading groups on  Monday and Tuesday each week beginning at 9am. We 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 have put a roster up on our timetable board 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, we completely understand!
HOMEWORK - WEEK 7

Please see below for the homework assigned for this week. 

Can I please ask that you keep asking and checking in with your child that they are doing all of their homework, as there were around 50% of students last week that didn't complete certain parts.

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 - they need to begin learning their 7 timetables this week. 
The students will be tested on their 6 times tables this week.

The students are to practise at least 4 times throughout the week at home. We are hoping that you are able to quiz them as often as possible to ensure their recall of their timestable facts is accurate and efficient. Please sign their Homework log when you have done this.

3. Mental Maths- Complete Unit 6, p.12&13. This will be marked each morning.

4. Spelling - the students are to complete LSCWC with their new spelling words each night. They are to also complete dictionary meanings for their words which are due on Friday morning.

Enjoy week seven everyone, it is going to be a big one with the exciting inclusion of the laptops!

Many thanks,

Sandy and Alison

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.

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
