Week 3 Update

Welcome to another great week in 4DEL!

I hope all our amazing mums enjoyed their day...it may have been big or small in your house but I hope that you took even a moment to do something that made you happy. 

Thank you for all that you do to help your beautiful children turn up ready to learn each day.

I would like to take a moment to welcome a new student to 4DEL this week. 

We welcome the O'Dea family with Hamish being our newest member of the class and his parents Claire and Ryan. 

We are looking forward to welcoming you as new members of the school and great  community.

A couple of small reminders for this week...

4DEL Assembly - Please note that we will be hosting our assembly on Friday 20th May beginning at 2.15pm. All parents are welcome to attend. 

In the coming days, we will begin practicing and your child will come home with their role...as a working parent I am all about simple costumes. The students are to wear black bottoms with a plain white t-shirt.

COVID - As we are all so very aware it is still out and about, please do let me know if your child or a family member tests positive. 

As I mentioned last week, this is to resolve any absences so you are not bothered by texts from the office and also so I can check in to see how you are doing and if there is anything you need. 

One of the positive sides of COVID has been the amazing support extended when families are in need!

The majority of our class work is placed on One Note for your child to complete if they are well enough or if you are well enough to assist them if they need it. For most families it is seeming to be a fairly short time so I can always work with you to catch them up once they returned.

Hero Project - In class this week we will begin our Hero Project with your child being given their outline. 

In the coming days, I would appreciate it if you could take some time to discuss some options for your child to choose from.

The only proviso is that it must be someone they know and can get in touch with to talk directly to.

They will then research and share why this person is their hero and an inspiration to them, also looking at their character strengths and how they use them.

Further details around this will be shared with the students later this week and they will work on this in class and then will share their Hero with their classmates in a presentation later in the term.

Homework - Week 3

We had a pretty good start to our Homework set up for this term, i did have a large number of students that didn't bring it in on Friday.

Your support in helping them to get this to me is greatly appreciated!

Reading - Your child has a paper copy of their reading log that has been glued into their Homework Books. In it, they are asked to write their book in and answer a question related to the book that they are reading. 

They have been given a copy of the questions and glued it into their books - they can choose a question that appeals to them and there are options for fiction and non-fiction books.

Times Tables - This remains the same as last term, again a copy of the set up expectations is on the Welcome section on One Note. 

Please make sure that you are marking them particularly on a Monday so that your child is getting them correct straight off the bat!

All homework is due in on Friday.

I hope you all have a fantastic week and stay healthy!

Kindest regards,

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...
