Week 4 Update!

Good afternoon,

Welcome to another great week in 4DEL! A short update this week!

Last week was a busy one but the kids were such troopers rolling with all the different events that we had on. I am looking forward to a more settled week this week so that we can continue with our great work!

I would like to thank all our amazing grandparents (and parents) that came in for our first Grandparents Day in a couple of years...it was SO lovely to have the school filled with visitors and I loved watching the students proudly showing their grandparents around our room. 

It seems that the Roll-A- Grandpa/Grandma was quite a hit and I hope that those pictures made it home and go straight to the pool room!

I took photos of as many families as I could, these are on our Teams for you to look at.

I would very much like to commend the students of 4DEL for their kindness and care towards their PPB buddies on Wednesday as we walked down to Church. 

The students did you proud by being very attending and were excellent role models whilst we were in Church and on the way there and back! So very proud!!

I would also like to commend them on their bravery during our Swimming Trials on Tuesday, it is quite a big deal to be placed in that environment for many and it was so lovely to see them giving it their very best, swimming hard and encouraging their classmates!!

The week ahead...

PAT Assessments - We will be completing these this week with our PAT Vocabulary on Monday and Maths on Thursday. Please make sure that your child is bringing their laptops to school each day with enough charge to see out the day.

Whilst I love seeing you, please don't bring up their laptop if they leave it at home. We will work it out...this is a great opportunity for learning some of those challenging life lessons.

Swimming Carnival  - Is on this Friday, 4th November at Geographe Leisure Centre in Busselton. Students are to come dressed in their faction shirts with their normal sports bottoms, ready to depart at 8.40am. 

Parents are welcome to attend, please let me know via the permission slip emailed and handed out last week if your child will be picked up from the pool.

This assists us with knowing how many buses to book for the return journey.

Your child will need:
  • Bathers – worn to school underneath their uniform. 
  • Sports shoes and socks worn to school – thongs can be worn at the pool only
  • A packed recess, lunch and plenty of water as it is looking like it will be a lovely day! Please make sure that you pop in a bit extra as the kids get hungry!
  • Hat
  • Towel and goggles (if desired)
  • Sunscreen applied and ready to go
  • Rashie – for sun protection and practical reasons, all students swimming are to wear a rashie in and out of the pool.
Wishing you all fantastic week, I hope the weather clears soon and we can begin the business if Spring! I am currently in my Ugg Boots with the fire going....sooo...!

Take care,

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 8 Update

Image
Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the end of Week 7, it was a busy one for us in 4DEL as we finalised some assessments and enjoyed a smooth week of learning. I unfortunately ended up leaving early yesterday as I seem to have picked up this virus going around...thankfully it isn't Covid and I am hoping a day on the couch today will help send it packing! My daughter Ella, is competing in the State Championships in Basketball up in Perth and I'm a bit devo I can't be there...something I am working hard on is accepting the things that I cannot change, this appears to be one of them. I hope you are all well, I have had a few students share with me some things going on with sickness and things just being a bit tough...if there is any way that I can help, please do let me know! We have a pastoral care freezer for just these things! Congratulations to Emme on receiving our Merit Award last week, an absolute legend who just keeps on keeping on! A few reminders for the coming week..
