It's the end of Term 3!

Good afternoon parents,

 Welcome to the last week of the term...it sure has been a busy one!

 A huge thank you all the parents that were able to come in for our learning journeys yesterday. I was devastated that I couldn't be here! I hope that you enjoyed looking around at the excellent work that your beautiful children have produced and that they were able to share their learning with you!
REMINDERS - WEEK 10

Shoe Box Donations - We are still waiting on the last couple of donations. These shoe boxes will be put together on Thursday morning ready to be sent on Friday. Thank you for your generosity...I know this time of year can be expensive with tea towels, calendars and fete items but please know this contribution is greatly appreciated!

 If you are able help we will be putting these together from 12-12.45pm on Thursday. Please let me know if you are available?

 Absentee Follow Up Notes - I have sent these home with your child today. If you can please make sure that you have filled in a reason for the absence and signed the form that would be great. Please give them to your child to return to me as soon as possible.

 HOMEWORK - WEEK 10

Reading -Please make sure that your child is reading out loud to you each night. This is an important skill in helping them to decode unfamiliar words and to attend to meaning - this means that they realise that what they are reading may not make sense if they have changed/missed/substituted a word. 

 It is great if your child loves to read whilst they are getting ready for bed and I strongly encourage this reading for pleasure...please make sure that both are happening.
Spelling - Students are to complete a LCWC of their list words for the week. These are review words for this week as they will be tested on the words covered over the past months - a quick run through for your child would be great for their confidence!
Sight Words - If you can please work with your child to complete these every night.
Mental Maths - Students are to complete Days 1-4 of Unit 29 including the Think Box activity. This is marked daily in class each morning. It is fine if students work ahead on this.
Times Tables - Activity Sheet - 5 Times Tables. Students are asked to write out their tables in order on Monday and Tuesday nights and then complete them out of order on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

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...
