Welcome to Week 4

 Good evening parents,

Welcome to the new week here in 4DEL...I hope you had a good weekend? Today was a perfect day for settling in front of the fire after I had completed all my chores...loving this 20 days of footy!

REMINDERS - WEEK 4

Throws and Jumps - These will be completed during our sports lessons over the next two weeks. If possible, it would be great if your child could wear their faction t-shirt on Thursday please.

I am aware that some students will be competing in the State Cross Country Champs this week and this will mean that they will be doing their throws/jumps with 4DAN on Wednesday...totes get it...good luck to all our fabulous runners. Enjoy the opportunity and we can't wait to hear all about it when you get back. You can wear your sports uniform on Wednesday!

Maths Test - Time - We have moved this to this Friday 15th August to give the students a little more time to work on calculating elapsed time and review their time telling skills!

OUR LEARNING 

We have been working hard during our maths sessions and have been having fun playing Time Detectives to solve some different real life problems. As mentioned above we will be having our assessment this week which will be looking at students being able to:

  • Tell time - what time is being shown on an analogue or digital clock, including being able to identify am and pm time.
  • Represent time - draw hands on a clock to show a given time
  • Time Facts - how many seconds/minutes/hours/days/month etc. in a given time.
  • Calculate elapsed time - how much time has passed and then being able to represent this in hours and minutes etc.
In our next unit we will be moving on to looking at lines and angles and we have a really fun and creative activity for the students to work on to show their mad designer skills!

In Religion we have been looking at how Jesus expresses his emotions in loving ways and how we can be like him and express loving and caring emotions towards our family and friends. In MJR we talked about the importance of acknowledging that we can at times make mistakes and that's okay...the important part is being self-aware so we can fix up any hurts that we may have caused.

Our Science lessons have been focused around identifying the different properties in materials and their different uses as well as where we can find them around our school. The students had a great time conducting their investigation.




In our Design Technologies unit, we are looking at potato planting this week...we are looking at the ideal conditions to grow them as well as the equipment that is used in farming them! This is all part of our unit that is looking at food and fibre production in Australia.

HOMEWORK - WEEK 4
  • 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.
Have a fantastic week and stay warm!

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

Image
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..
