Week 3 Update

Good afternoon parents,

 Welcome to Week 3...it seemed as if the weekend flew by!
REMINDERS - WEEK 3

Swimming Lessons - we are nearly done with these and a very big thank you for helping them to be organised for each day...I am sure they are sleeping well!

 Just a reminder that all students are to wear a rashie for the duration of the lessons. There are two main groups that are in the outside pool for the 90 minutes but today other groups did come outside...as you can appreciate the sun is very warm and the children are quick to burn.

 Parent Information Evening - this is on tomorrow night beginning at 6pm. Both sessions will begin with an introduction in the hall, during which you will hear from Fr Ian, Mr Wilkie, the P&F and the Board representatives.

 If I can ask that you make your way to 3D at the conclusion of this presentation as quickly as possible. 

 If you are unable to attend, we will send home a copy of the notes with your child on Wednesday.
HOMEWORK - WEEK 3

Reading - Read a book of their choice for 10 minutes, write this in their reading log and then bring it you to be signed.

 Mental Maths - Complete Days 1-4 of Unit 3, Day 5 will be completed in class. We will mark this each morning. If I can ask that you please check your child's answers and help them with any that they are unsure of.

 I will go through any more tricky concepts in class. 

 This week we are looking at Friendly Pairs - Addition. If you click on the link below you will see a video explaining how to use this strategy.
Spelling and Sight Words Revision will commence next week as well as a Homework Grid that is aimed at students making time to help around the home and continue their own interests.

 Have a fantastic week,

 Mrs Delane

A Couple of Reminders

Go od afternoon parents, Mrs Horrocks has asked for me to post some information about the upcoming Musical 'Go Fish' on Friday 8th June (Week 6) this term.  If you have any questions about the performance, including costumes or the logistics of the musical then Mrs Horrocks is the person to ask! We will be having a short meeting on Monday 7th May at 3.15pm. It would be great if you could make it!  If you are unable to make the meeting, but are keen to help...please let me know.  More importantly she is looking for volunteers who can donate some of their time to assist with costumes, the set and other roles.  If this is something you can assist with, then please contact or see Mrs Horrocks on that Monday. Thanks again for your ongoing support. Times Tables Quiz - Today in class I did a short quiz to check their knowledge of all their tables. As I mentioned in my blog post on Monday students in Year 3 are only expected to know their 2's, 3's,...

Week 5 Update - Hump Week!

Good afternoon parents, For those looking for an embarrassing or dramatic story this week, I am sorry to disappoint!  This weekend has been all about a bit of family time and for me, catching up on a the last two Matthew Reilly novels...knocked those out yesterday so hit me up if you have any recommendations!  I also finished the Will Smith autobiography this week if anyone is looking for a really great read! It has been an interesting week trying to process what is happening here in WA as well as what is happening overseas...I can't even imagine what it must be like for families just like us to be gripped by war.  Like many parents, I am struggling  to explain it to my own children who have some grasp of what is happening but also a child like fear as well...I just don't know what to say? With this in mind, you may have seen on Facebook that as a school community, we are offering families the opportunity to attend a prayer vigil on Wednesday afternoon...
