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!

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...
