Week 8 Update

Good afternoon parents,

 Welcome to Week 8 in 4DEL...to say that the last couple of weeks have been strange is an understatement! In these uncertain times, I encourage you to do what feels right for you and your family.

 I would like to say a massive thank you to those of you that have taken a moment to check in to see how I am travelling personally, it really means more than you know! I am so grateful to have the support of such a wonderful class and parent body.

For those that have chosen to keep your children home in the coming weeks, you will notice on your child's One Note a new Online Home Learning section has been added. In this section you will see that your child's work for this week has been uploaded. I have also put a message on Teams for your child with additional instructions.
I appreciate that many of you will also be juggling your own work as well as children at home, please be gentle with yourself and do the best that you can. I will be available via email and I will get onto Teams when I can to check in and answer any questions that your child may have.

 Please make sure that you have completed an online absentee form if you will be keeping your child at home.
OUR LEARNING - WEEK 8 

 Swimming lessons are now complete which is fantastic, we will resume our normal teaching program this week. We will be ramping up our progress in our writing as we begin planning and drafting our own narratives! 

 We will be switching our maths brains this week and will begin looking at 2D and 3D shapes and their properties as well as practicing how to draw some challenging 3D shapes...it's harder than it looks people!

 Our STEM sessions are continuing to prove popular and this week we will be creating a parachute! Students will need to bring in their resources from home...stay tuned for pics of the final results!
HOMEWORK - WEEK 8 

 We have updated our homework grid this week to include some different activities that are focused around finding positives in this tricky world and encouraging care for others and self.

 Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns in the coming weeks. Once again,thank you for your support and care, stay happy and well!

 Kind regards,












Mrs Delane

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...
