Week 7 Information
Good morning everyone,
I hope that you all enjoyed the weekend...it was a bit wet and woolly but provided a perfect excuse to spend the day on the couch! I hope all our dads had a fabulous Father's Day...thank you for all that you do to support our beautiful children!
Get out the Dettol - There are all sorts of coughs and colds going around at the moment and it is hitting hard and taking a lot of out of the kids. Please look after yourself and stay well...I don't wish it on anyone! I do understand it can be difficult to stay home when your child is sick (as a working parent I totally get it!) but, please keep them at home to prevent the spread of germs as well as giving them recovery time on the couch so when they come back they are able to cope physically.
General Behaviour - It is coming to that time of the term where we are starting to see some of our cherubs flex a little muscle in the classroom. We are having regular discussions about respecting the rights of others to learn and how it is important to make sure that we are always trying our best.
It may not seem like much but as a teacher when lessons are consistently interrupted to deal with low level behaviours such as talking to neighbours, moving around the classroom, not listening attentively - instead digging in pencil cases, staring out the window or drawing in their work books it all adds up to learning time being affected.
If you can take some time to have a general discussion about appropriate classroom behaviour I would appreciate the support.
Operation Christmas Shoebox - You may have noticed in the blogs of other classes that you are being asked to send in donations. As the Year 4 students are working on the Uthando Doll Project, the decision has been made that we won't contribute to the shoebox appeal as we are mindful of not asking for contributions for too many things.
Year 3/4 Jumps - These are this Wednesday and will be held during the students sport time. Any questions are to be directed to Mrs Sinclair.
4. Spelling - the students are to complete LSCWC and their 'Words Within in Sentences' into their Homework books by Friday.
5. Champion Life Challenges - If you can encourage your child to complete at least one video challenge a week. All videos that are uploaded are only seen by the Champion Life staff and teacher to which the class has been assigned...in this instance me.
6. Science Research Project - Part 1 is due tomorrow. Please check in with your child to see how they are they are travelling.
This is a fantastic initiative which whilst increasing levels of physical activity also aims to inspire students through valuable life learning.
