Week 4

Good afternoon parents,
Welcome to Week 4, a very big thank to those who were able to attend our commitment and family Mass on Saturday night, it was lovely to see the church filled with such a large number of students and their families. A particular thank you to all the prayer buddies that made a special effort to be there to support their classmates...the pizza sure went down a treat!

Our second group of pen licenses went out on Thursday. I am really pleased to see the children working hard and making sure that their book week is neat and reflecting care and effort around their learning.

REMINDERS - WEEK 4

Eucharist Slips and Money
Just a reminder that we require those who are participating in the Eucharist to return all forms and money by the end of next week. An information slip, a wine intention slip and $10 in a labelled envelope are the items we require. Thank you to those who have already done this. Next week I will send out a reminder SMS to those who haven't sent them in.

ART HELP!
A text was sent out calling for any helpers to assist this Wednesday 22nd May and next Wednesday 29th May from 2-3pm. It is to assist with the hot glue guns. We are still looking for helpers if you can spare some time. Thank you for your support.

Book Fair
On Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd of May, there is a book fair in the library. The library will be selling books from 8-9am and 3-4pm on these days. The children are also able to take money during their Library lesson on Thursday morning. However if they are intending to take more than $20, we ask that you write a note giving them permission to spend that money.

Pupil Free Day - Staff Professional Development Day
Just a reminder that this Friday 24th May, there will be a pupil free day as the teacher's will be involved in a Bright Paths PD.

Have you had your child show you their OneNote as yet? 
The students are using this program weekly in class. One of the things we want them to show you is there Diary page each week, please ask to see it. This way you will know what they need to do and what is coming up!

HOMEWORK - WEEK 4

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.

2. Timetables Review 3, 4, 6, 7, 8's - The students are to practice at least 4 times throughout the week at home. We have planned to test this on Thursday in our Math's lesson. PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY ARE PRACTICING!

3. Mental Maths- Complete Unit 13, p 26 & 27. This will be marked each morning so please make sure your child brings their homework books on this day.

4. Spelling - the students are to complete LSCWC with their spelling words each night and put their words into a appropriate sentence. These are due in on Friday.

Have a great week everyone!

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...
