Week 4 is Here!

Good evening parents,

 I hope that you have enjoyed the gorgeous weather put on this weekend and were able to spend a small moment in time resting and refilling your parent cup!
So far this term has had me feeling a little like this...as you may be aware...I was away last week with some nasty pain and general feelings of not goodness. These unfortunately carried over into the weekend and I spent the weekend in the very fine hands of the staff at Busselton Hospital. 

 I am home now with strict instructions to take it easy and a follow up with a specialist planned for this week. I am okay in terms of there being nothing major going on and lots of the scary things ruled out but I just need to get another couple of checks to be sure before I can get back on deck with my little homies. 

 I am so sorry to be away, it actually causes me great anxiety not being in class with you all, especially as we had just got the band back together! I am also aware that some of the students will be a little unsettled as our usuals are not happening. Ali Martin, Trish Dorrington and Kathy Holt delivered my planned teaching and learning to a tee and were very well supported by the ever fabulous Mr Ben Danaher...I think I owe him a coffee or six! 
I am hoping to be back this week but it will all depend on how soon I can get checked out. Mr Torrese and Mr Lee have been keeping an eye on the kids and reporting back and as usual I have been super proud to hear how focused, loving and resilient they have been!

 The kids have been working really hard and having a ball...they put together some fantastic zip lines, are learning all about the parts of the bee, wrote their reports about their favourite animals which I am looking forward to reading and worked hard to get through their revision for their maths tests last weeks...go 4DEL!

 Homework will continue as normal this week, if this is causing too much stress or you just need a break from it. Please feel free to have your child write me a note...we all need a leave pass every now and again!
Have a great week and take care of yourselves. I am on email if you have any questions on anything for the week!

 Kind regards,

 Caitlin

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
