Week 2 Update

Good morning parents,

 Welcome back to another fantastic week in Year 4...the students have started the week with a bang and moved beautifully through our literacy and numeracy tasks this morning. We are seeing a real maturity and settled approach to our class work which is a real credit to your beautiful children!


REMINDERS - WEEK 2

Inter-school Cross Country - Please bear in mind this is on this Thursday 1st August. Mrs Sinclair sent a note home with your child last term with all relevant information...my advice is pack loads of food, warm clothes and a reusable cup or thermos!

 Welcome Mass - If you would like to join Fr Francis for his first mass at OLTSC this Sunday morning 3rd August, beginning at 9am we would love to see you there.

 Mission Markets - These are held each year to coincide with the celebration of our Feast Day. These will be held on Thursday 15th August.

 This year, the Year 4 classes will be putting together lucky dip bags! We are asking that all Year 4 families please send in with their child some suitable non lolly items to be included. Think pencils, bouncy balls, notepads, rubbers etc. If you are looking for inspiration - head to Kmart!

 If all students could please bring in 5 individual items - a spread across lower, middle and upper interests would be great! If you could please make sure that you have your items in by Monday 12th September as we will be begin drawing our bags and packing them.

On the Mission Markets day, students will come to school with a maximum amount of $10 in small denominations - please put this in a wallet/purse or zip-lock bag. Please make sure these are clearly labelled. Students will also need to bring in their own carry bag to use on this day.

OUR LEARNING

Last week we began our Friday STEM Challenges...the students had a fantastic time looking at creating a boat that would float for one minute. The added challenge for the students was to have their boat be strong enough to hold a given weight without sinking. They needed to factor in buoyancy, stability and volume in their design. This week the students will have the opportunity to test and improve their designs...we are looking forward to seeing what they can do!







HOMEWORK - WEEK 2

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 and reduces their anxiety of getting in trouble when it is not done. 


1. Reading - Students are to read for 10 minutes each night.
2. Timetables - 12's -  Students are to practice at least 4 times throughout the week at home. We will be having a test of their 12's on Thursday.

3. Mental Maths- Complete Unit 21, p 42 & 43. All sections are to be completed by Friday.

4. Spelling - the students are to complete LSCWC and their 'Words Within in Sentences' into their Homework books by Friday. 


Have a great end to the week! 

I look forward to sending a thumbs up or high five your way if I see you!

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...
