Week 6 Update

Good morning parents,

 Hello and welcome to another fantastic week here in 4D...I hope that you enjoyed the beautiful warm weather over the weekend. The beach was amazing and regularly remind me that I am blessed to live in one of the most gorgeous places in the world!!

 A huge thank you to all of the amazing parents and grandparents that have made themselves available to come in and help us create our Uthando dolls.

 Last Wednesday we met the ladies from Bunbury who will organise our dolls to be sent to the children. It was fascinating to listen to them explain just how they will get there...once they get to Perth they will be sent to Fremantle and then they will be packed into the smallest corners of a very large ship that is heading that way and generously discounts the price of transport. Our dolls will be among the 3000 that will be sent over to brighten the lives of children.

 We had a lovely afternoon tea in which the students could show off their dolls to their parents and the Bunbury ladies! A very big thank you to those that were able to make it! A big thank you to Mrs Martin for all her hard work and organisation!



REMINDERS - WEEK 6

Vinnies Hamper Appeal - This excellent initiative is once again up and running in 4D and is an excellent opportunity for our children to show the spirit of Jesus. We are asking for donations of toiletries - thinking toothpaste, toothbrushes, wrapped soap packets, sanitary pads, hairbrushes, hair lackeys etc. These will all be boxed up by the Year 6 students into hampers that will be delivered directly to families in Dunsborough that are doing it a little tough! Your support is greatly appreciated.

 Fire Drill - Tuesday 26th November - Just a reminder that there was an important email sent out last week outlining the plans for this afternoon. Please check in to make sure you are ready for this.
HOMEWORK - WEEK 6

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.

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...
