Week 8 Update

Good morning parents,

Welcome to Week 8. It is shaping up to be another amazing week in Year 4 before we head off on a well earned break!
REMINDERS – WEEK 8

Parent Help Needed – If you are able to help, we would love to have you on Monday and Tuesday mornings at 9am for 30 minutes...no experience necessary!

 Year 3 Reconciliation - Will be held this Wednesday 27th March at Our Lady of the Southern Cross beginning at 5.30pm

Harmony Day – Friday 29th March - I will be hosting a group in my room on this day that will be making Friendship Bracelets – I would love a couple of parent helpers to come in for this time to lend a hand. Please let me know if you are able to help!

 I will need you from 9.30am to 11am. I would be grateful for any time that you can spend helping out!

 We are also asking for all students in Year 4 to bring a plate for a shared morning tea for Friday 29th March.

 We would like to girls to bring a plate of savoury food and boys to bring a plate of sweet food to share. If you are able to make this reflective of your families culture that would be great! You are welcome to come and join us!

 Parent Teacher Interviews - Please make sure that you have put your name down for an interview times. I will be holding meetings on Wednesday 27th March and Wednesday 3rd April. 

OUR LEARNING – WEEK 8

We will begin the writing process for the students this week where we will ask the students to plan, draft and edit a story. We have worked hard at developing a good understanding of the elements needed to write a good story...the students are very excited!

 In our Friendology session we have looked at what makes a healthy and an unhealthy friendship. The students were asked to write down what defines each type of friendship and then choose their must haves!


This was a great activity to help them to work out how their friendships are sitting and what they can do if there friendship may have moved into the unhealthy zone. It provides them with some words to use if they are having trouble with a particular friend which is what I love about this program!

HOMEWORK - WEEK 8

Please see below for the homework assigned for this week. If you can please support your child to complete all parts of their homework each week. This helps with their personal organisation reduces anxiety of getting in trouble when it is not done. 
1. Reading - Students are to read for 10 minutes each night and enter it into their Reading Log. They are to bring it to you to be signed each night. 

2. Timetables practise 7's - The students are to practise at least 5 times throughout the week at home. Please sign their Homework log when you have done this.

3. Mental Maths- Complete Unit 7, p 14 & 15. This will be marked in class each morning so please make sure your child includes this in their homework folder every morning.

4. Spelling - the students are to complete LSCWC with their spelling words each night and their dictionary definitions are due in on Friday.

Enjoy this beautiful weather!

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...
