Week 7 Update

 Good morning,

Welcome to another awesome week here in 4DEL...how good was it to have the day off yesterday? I hope that you all managed to fit in a little something that made you happy...we had some good walks over the weekend to check out the whale migration...how lucky are we?!

REMINDERS - WEEK 7 

Updated Homework Grid - I have made some changes to the homework grid. I will go through these with the students this morning to make sure they are clear on what to do.

School Photos - As you know these will be on the 10th and 11th September. I am not too sure what time our class will be but I will let you know once I do.

Stationery Check - Glue sticks are the biggest thing at the moment...no one has one! If you can please check in with your child to see what they are missing. Not having what they need causes a great deal on anxiety for the students as they try to keep up with instructions.


OUR LEARNING - WEEK 6/7 

We are still working through our text on whether country life is better than city life...it was an overwhelming majority that agreed that it was...phew! The students are now moving on to choosing their own topic, and planning and drafting a text to share their position. I can't wait to read these ones!!

In maths we are continuing our golf course designs...there are some budding designers among us ready to rival Jack Nicklaus! These will be completed and up for display later this week!

Our research for our object properties is going well, the students spent their lesson last week looking at the different properties of their object before deciding which one to test.

HOMEWORK  - WEEK 7

  • Spelling - LCWC each night - please make sure that you or your child is MARKING their words each night.
  • Tables practice
  • Reading - out loud 10-15 minutes each night
  • Additional Homework - At various times through the week and into the term I may send home work to be completed that has not been completed in the given class time. I will always make sure that there is a reasonable time limit given to hand the work back in and please know, class time has always been given to complete it.
  • Science Research Project - this is to be fine-tuned over the week as we are working on these in class.
Have a good week!

Mrs Delane

Week 9...The Last One!

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the final week, if you are like me, I can remember October and then suddenly the term is at its end!  It has been a busy one here, I was lucky enough to head to the Player's night on Thursday down at Shark Park and then was also able to head to the Volunteers Breakfast on Sunday...had the best chat with Bob Murphy, he is one funny cat!  What a great opportunity for our town to have the players in, they were so appreciative of the opportunity to come and connect with their fans and were a pleasure to be around! I would like to say the biggest and most sincere thank you to you as a parent group, you have been so supportive of myself and your children and we have had a thoroughly brilliant year as a group!  To see how much the children have grown and changed is such a privilege and I am going to miss them all very very much. I wish you and your families, a enjoyable and restful break, I am sure we will see each other on the beach or around town betwe

Week 6 Has Arrived!

Good morning parents! I hope you are all staying nice and warm in this very strange weather...I have no idea what is going on with it! One minute it's warm and sunny and the next I'm reaching for the trackies and ugg boots!  I hope you all enjoyed the day off yesterday?! We had a great PL day yesterday looking in more detail at the Judging Standards created by the School Curriculum Authority. These are the documents that we use in conjunction with our professional judgement, your child's See Saw journal and work completed in class to determine grading for our reports.  We then finished the day throwing some rocks at the Dunsborough Country Club...under Neil's watchful gaze, I proved to be not a very good lawn bowler and a person who has no concept of medium pace...who knew??  We also farewelled Miss Cain on Thursday, the students were very sad to see her go and she was so sad to leave them...she had a warm and positive impact on the students in her time in 4DEL and we w

Week 8 Update

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the end of Week 7, it was a busy one for us in 4DEL as we finalised some assessments and enjoyed a smooth week of learning. I unfortunately ended up leaving early yesterday as I seem to have picked up this virus going around...thankfully it isn't Covid and I am hoping a day on the couch today will help send it packing! My daughter Ella, is competing in the State Championships in Basketball up in Perth and I'm a bit devo I can't be there...something I am working hard on is accepting the things that I cannot change, this appears to be one of them. I hope you are all well, I have had a few students share with me some things going on with sickness and things just being a bit tough...if there is any way that I can help, please do let me know! We have a pastoral care freezer for just these things! Congratulations to Emme on receiving our Merit Award last week, an absolute legend who just keeps on keeping on! A few reminders for the coming week..
