Week 4 Update!

Good afternoon,

Welcome to another great week in 4DEL! A short update this week!

Last week was a busy one but the kids were such troopers rolling with all the different events that we had on. I am looking forward to a more settled week this week so that we can continue with our great work!

I would like to thank all our amazing grandparents (and parents) that came in for our first Grandparents Day in a couple of years...it was SO lovely to have the school filled with visitors and I loved watching the students proudly showing their grandparents around our room. 

It seems that the Roll-A- Grandpa/Grandma was quite a hit and I hope that those pictures made it home and go straight to the pool room!

I took photos of as many families as I could, these are on our Teams for you to look at.

I would very much like to commend the students of 4DEL for their kindness and care towards their PPB buddies on Wednesday as we walked down to Church. 

The students did you proud by being very attending and were excellent role models whilst we were in Church and on the way there and back! So very proud!!

I would also like to commend them on their bravery during our Swimming Trials on Tuesday, it is quite a big deal to be placed in that environment for many and it was so lovely to see them giving it their very best, swimming hard and encouraging their classmates!!

The week ahead...

PAT Assessments - We will be completing these this week with our PAT Vocabulary on Monday and Maths on Thursday. Please make sure that your child is bringing their laptops to school each day with enough charge to see out the day.

Whilst I love seeing you, please don't bring up their laptop if they leave it at home. We will work it out...this is a great opportunity for learning some of those challenging life lessons.

Swimming Carnival  - Is on this Friday, 4th November at Geographe Leisure Centre in Busselton. Students are to come dressed in their faction shirts with their normal sports bottoms, ready to depart at 8.40am. 

Parents are welcome to attend, please let me know via the permission slip emailed and handed out last week if your child will be picked up from the pool.

This assists us with knowing how many buses to book for the return journey.

Your child will need:
  • Bathers – worn to school underneath their uniform. 
  • Sports shoes and socks worn to school – thongs can be worn at the pool only
  • A packed recess, lunch and plenty of water as it is looking like it will be a lovely day! Please make sure that you pop in a bit extra as the kids get hungry!
  • Hat
  • Towel and goggles (if desired)
  • Sunscreen applied and ready to go
  • Rashie – for sun protection and practical reasons, all students swimming are to wear a rashie in and out of the pool.
Wishing you all fantastic week, I hope the weather clears soon and we can begin the business if Spring! I am currently in my Ugg Boots with the fire going....sooo...!

Take care,

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...
