Welcome Back! Week 1 Update

Good afternoon parents,

Welcome back for Term 2...as I am writing this post to welcome you back I have the footy on in the background listening to the last post...always love this game!

I hope that you enjoyed the holidays and stayed well, the weather was amazing and it was nice to spend the time resting and recharging ready for another great term!

I will keep this post short this week with just a few reminders to ease us all back in!

Laptops - a reminder to ask your child to pop theirs on charge ready for tomorrow!

COVID/Isolation - If your family is affected by COVID please do let me know. 

The large majority of our work is placed in the various folders on One Note for your child to access depending on how well they are feeling or how much support you are able to offer if you yourself are unwell.

If there is anything that I or the school can do to help, please do let me know!

Masks - If I can ask you to please check in with your child to make sure they have a mask ready to go for each day and to talk with them about wearing them properly I would be super grateful!

Winter Uniform - we are making the move into our winter uniform as of tomorrow so hopefully everything still fits! Please note that most days we will still need to have the door open to keep our classroom healthy and fresh so it may be worth your child having their jumper in their bag as it can get cold!

Character Strengths - as part of our health unit this term we are looking more in depth at our own personal character strengths. In our health lessons this week the students will be completing the VIA Character Strengths Survey. The students will need to create their own account so their results can be saved individually, they will use their school email to do so.

VIA Character Strengths Survey Link

If you have any concerns about child creating this account, can I ask that you please let me know...alternatively, if you would like to help your child create their account on their laptop with your details that would also be brilliant!

Please do not have your child complete the survey just yet - this is to be done in class.

Wheels After Meals - This will kick off on Tuesday of Week 2. 

Please make sure that your child brings their wheels and appropriate safety gear if they wish to participate!

Dates for your diary:

  • 26th April - Term 2 Begins
  • 10th May - Casuals for Catholics
  • 13th May - 4DEL Assembly - Parents are warmly invited to attend! We ask that you please wear a mask and ensure that you socially distance. Time to be confirmed.

Mrs Delane

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...
