Year 4D OLC

Welcome to week 5, hopefully everyone was able to stay fairly dry over the weekend!!  As you may be aware, Mrs D is on the Year 6 camp and Mrs Martin will be in class this week.  Go Fish Musical/Performance Assembly  - The students have been working very hard preparing for our musical 'Go Fish' and it is all coming together swimmingly!!  Caitlin and I have been discussing the work that the students have been putting into this musical and the proposed performances next week.  On this basis, these performances will constitute our class performance assemblies and we will not be having a separate  performance assembly.  We will still have our class prayer assemblies.   Performances of our musical will be next week at 1:30 on Wednesday 6 June (matinee) and at 6:30 pm on Friday 8 June.  Please, if you are available do come along, it is VERY good!!  Tuesday 5 June Pupil Free Day  - Just a reminder that next Tuesday is ...

Good afternoon parents, I hope that you all had a chance to watch the wedding on the weekend...I love me a good wedding! I loved the dress and the flowers...a hopeless romantic I am!! I was wiped out on the couch with a sore back which was no fun but gave me a good excuse to watch all the highlights of the wedding...again...and then watch the Eagles school Richmond! I am thinking I might need to book those GF tickets if anyone has an in...please let me know! REMINDERS - WEEK 4 NAPLAN - A very big well done to all of the children! I was very proud to see them putting their test taking skills into practice and persevering when it got hard!

Good afternoon parents, I hope that all of you amazing mums were well looked after yesterday! REMINDERS - WEEK 3 NAPLAN - This begins tomorrow morning and the schedule runs as outlined below. Tuesday 15th May - Language Conventions (40 minutes) & Writing (40 minutes). Wednesday 16th May - Reading (45 minutes) Thursday 17th May - Numeracy (45 minutes) You will see on Tuesday that we have two assessments to complete, we will do one in the first morning session and the second will be after recess. My focus is on keeping the whole week low key and stress free! I have been reminding the students that this test only tells the assessors a little about their learning...it doesn't tell them about their other talents and strengths. As their cheerleaders, we are only asking for their best effort :)  I will have their tables organised and ready to go for the morning already set up in test conditions. If I can ask if you can make sure they have a good breakfast and ...

Haircuts - It is ...

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.
