The End of Term is Here!

 Good afternoon parents,

Welcome to the last week of 2020...it has been a very busy few weeks and whilst this one feels like a lot...we can do it!

Unfortunately though, I haven't recovered as well as I would have liked, so I will be taking Monday off just to make sure that I can see out the week...this is absolutely not what I want to be doing and rest assured I may have thrown a few toys about it! I am a horrible patient! I know its important to rest and make sure I am back at 100% for a fantastic last few days.


I would like to thank you all for an amazing year...I have thoroughly enjoyed working with these beautiful children and they have been one of my favourite classes ever...I do know that you aren't supposed to say that but its true. I am giving them back to you a little taller, heavier and hopefully better at the learning things!! We have laughed and learnt and laughed some more...it certainly has been a year to remember!

A few reminders for this week...

Books - these will be coming home in stages this week. Can you please make sure that your child has packed a reusable bag for each day to make life easier for all and to ensure that all is not left until the last day.

Christmas Concert - Tuesday 8th December - please make sure that your child is dressed as per Mrs Sherborne's instructions and at our class by 5.20pm. We will move down to meet you there at 5.30pm. Please make sure that you are dressed comfortably and remember that it is an alcohol free event.

Excursion - Wednesday 9th December - Please make sure that your child has returned their permission slip. They are to wear their teal sports uniform and are to make sure they BYO recess, hat and water. It is looking like it will be a warm day so extra water is good! We will be cleaning our drawers, tables and chairs in the morning before hopping on the bus at 10am.

Christmas Eve Mass - The 6.00pm Christmas Eve children's mass is being held here at school this year. 

Vinnies Boxes - If you haven't already can I ask you to make a small donation to our box. These will be presented at assembly on Friday.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Christmas Concert on Tuesday...thank you again for your care and support. It has been so greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards and very best wishes for a wonderful holiday...enjoy the no lunch boxes!

Caitlin xx

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...
