Week 3 Is Here!

Good morning parents,

 Welcome to another busy week in 4DEL, I hope that you had a great weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather!
REMINDERS - WEEK 3 

 Swimming Trials - Please be aware that these are happening tomorrow 18th February at the Geographe Leisure Centre in Bussselton. We will be hopping on the bus promptly at 9am.

 We ask that you child wears their sport uniform - they are to come to school with their shoes and socks on. Please send a change of thongs...students are not to wear thongs to school.

 Your child will need to have plenty of suncream already applied, a rashie (this is mandatory), goggles (if they wish) and a towel, as well as their water bottle, hat and a substantial recess.
School AGM - A reminder that all parents are encouraged to attend the school AGM on Wednesday night beginning at 7pm in the hall...Mr Lee is a stickler for time and assures us we will be out of there by 7.59pm! This is a great chance to hear what is happening in the school and to volunteer for any positions! The P&F is still looking for members!

OUR LEARNING - WEEK 2

We had a fantastic week last week beginning our learning around narrative writing. This week we will be looking at creating a really good character descriptions, we have talked about the importance of nouns, adjectives, adverbs and verbs being used purposefully in our writing.

We had a great time investigating the properties of different materials in our design technology lesson...we had a a variety of different objects to check out to see if they would float or sink, were rigid or flexible or transparent or opaque. 





This week we are going to be looking at creating a catapult, firstly from popsticks and then we are going to swap in different materials to see how far we can fling our item. Safety glasses will be worn!

Homework - Week 3 

Our homework grid is to be completed over the week from Monday to Thursday and is due in on Friday morning to be checked. If you can please make sure that your child has chased you around the house so you can sign their grid, I would be most appreciative!

If you can also please mark your child's spelling homework after they have done it, this means that they don't repeat a mistake across the whole week.

 Once again, I thank you for a fantastic start to the term!

 Have a great week,

Caitlin

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...
