Week 7 Has Arrived

 Good evening,

A late publication this evening...been a busy one!

A massive thank you to everyone that was able to come to our Open Classroom on Wednesday, it was so lovely to see the classroom full and to hear the students talking you through what we have been up to. A tough gig after a massive day at the carnival but heartwarming none the less!

Just a couple of reminders for this week:

Cultural Excursion - On Monday 13th September, the Year 4 classes are lucky enough to be heading down to the Margaret River Rotary Park to participate in an excursion aimed at helping us to learn more about our amazing region. 

Ben and I have planned a great excursion with input from Josh Whiteland to help the students develop their awareness of Country and the history around the town.

We would love to have any available parents that can come and join us, ideally, we would love to take those parents that haven't as yet ventured off with us so please let me know if you would like to attend. 

We will be leaving school at approximately 9am and will arrive at MRRP by 9.45am and would love to have you meet us there. 

If you would like to assist with taking a group, please send me an email.

Science Research Project - In class tomorrow, I will be going through our project for this term. I will go through the outline with them and they will then begin working on these in class...there is an expectation that they will also work on this task at home as well as part of their weekly homework.

I will work out and notify the students when they will be presenting in Week 10.

What’s It Made Of?

Material Properties Investigation: Research Assignment

Due: Monday 20th – Wednesday 22nd September (WEEK 10)

TASK: You are challenged to think about why particular materials are used to make particular objects.

YOU ARE TO: Create a power point presentation that includes the 3 parts stated below. You will then need to present this during our Science lessons in Week 10. The presentation is to be no longer than 2 minutes. 

They will be given time in class to work on this project, but you will also need to work on it at home as needed.

A copy of their outline has been placed in their Science section in One Note for their reference and yours if needed.

Uthando Dolls - My sincerest apologies for the mess up last Wednesday...I was guilty of trying to do too many things at once and didn't proof my text before hitting send. 

I am so sorry for messing up anyone's afternoon...if you are able to make it this week, we would once again be super grateful for your support.

Have a fantastic week,

Caitlin

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...
