Week 5 Update!

Good morning parents,

 Welcome to another amazing week here in 4D. I hope that you stayed cool in the heat of Saturday...Binningup Beach was the place to be and thank goodness there was air con in the holiday house! It gave me a good excuse to start my reports rather than get schooled in the finer art of ping pong!

 We had a fantastic excursion to Eagle Heritage last Thursday and another huge thank you to Sherylee, Noon, Anita and Prue for coming along to keep us safe and make sure that no birds of prey carried anyone off!

 The students will be using this information that they gathered to begin planning for the bird of prey information report that we will be starting next week!











Our day was then finished off superbly with an artist workshop conducted by Alan Meyburgh...after a slight change to plan he came up to school and we had a great time working in the hall on creating a sculpture of a bird using a variety of recycled materials. I was blown away by there amazing creations and the students were super proud of themselves...rightly so I say!

















REMINDERS - WEEK 5

 Uthando Doll Thank You Afternoon Tea - We will be having a small afternoon tea on Wednesday afternoon (13th November) to hand over the dolls ready for them to be sent off! All parents that came to help in our weekly sessions are warmly invited to attend. 
WWWFW - It is looking to be better weather wise this week! Thank you for your support in sending in waste free lunches and coordinating bike rides and buddies! Our last week...let's go 4D!
HOMEWORK - WEEK 5

1. Reading - Students are to read for 15 minutes each night. Please encourage them to read out loud to you at least twice a week.
2. Mental Maths- Complete Unit 33. All sections are to be completed by Friday.

3. Spelling - LSCWC & Word Study Activity Sheet. These are to be completed by Friday.

4. Champion Life Challenges - If you can encourage your child to complete at least one video challenge a week. This is a fantastic initiative which whilst increasing levels of physical activity also aims to inspire students through valuable life learning.

Have a great week...mine will be fuelled by coffee!

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...
