Welcome to Week 1, Term 4

Good afternoon parents,

I hope that you have enjoyed a restful break and everyone is feeling recharged and rested, ready for our final term together! 

I am looking forward to welcoming the students back into class on Monday and I can't wait to hear about what they have been up to.

I spent the two weeks gaining my Taxi Driver's Accreditation and according to my two main passengers, except for the singing I am a competent taxi driver! 

When I wasn't in the car I was enjoying lots of puppy walks and catching up on Netflix...some good stuff at the moment! Very much looking forward to a proper start to Summer...soooooooooo ready to switch out the wardrobe!

A few reminders for the start of the term...

Taste of SMMC - Just a reminder that all Year 4 students will be heading off on Friday to experience some of the delights of SMMC. If your child has not returned their permission slip and you need another copy, please let me know and I will send one home with your child on Monday.

Stationery - If you can please take a moment to remind your child to clean out their pencil cases (these were taken home at the end of last term) and check if they are missing anything. 

The hard work continues and students having what they need goes a long well to helping them feel organised and in control. 

Perhaps double check the lunch box made it out safely too!

Laptops - Please also remind your child to pop them on charge ready for Monday. 

Summer Uniform - Not that it feels like it but we are back in summer uniform as of Monday. There is a two week swap over period so long pants are still welcome as the weather is still cool!

Hats - Please make sure that your child has a hat that stays in their school bag - this was a major issue towards the end of last term and just creates stress for them as they aren't able to go down to the oval, basketball courts or nature playground areas.

A few dates for your diary... 

  • 11th October - Term 4 Commences
  • 21st October - Interschool Athletics Carnival -

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and I look forward to seeing you all back on deck on Monday!

Kind regards,

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...
