Week 7 Term 2

Good afternoon all,

Where has this term gone, I can't believe how fast report writing time has arrived, with the sacrament of Eucharist around the corner.

Eucharist Paperwork - A reminder that some Eucharist candidates still need to return their list of sacraments received, notice of intention to receive the wine and the $10. If you can please send these in as soon as possible, check with me if you are not sure! It is due by this Friday 14th June.

Year 4R Prayer Liturgy - This Friday we have our prayer assembly where we will be carrying out a short little skit that reinforces the important gestures and actions carried out during mass. It would be fantastic if you were able to join us and share in this special liturgy.

All the students have a part to play and majority of the students have a reading. I ask that each night the students are practicing their reading off the script sent home yesterday, so they are confident little actors on Friday:) 




OUR LEARNING

We have been working really hard in the last few weeks. We have created some beautiful tree art pieces which helped us to learn about warm and cool colours. We have just started looking at using lines to help us create a landscape as well as the concepts of foreground, middle ground and background. (Please come and have a look, as they look amazing!!)


In our Health - Keeping Safe lessons, we have been learning about the Rights of Children and how these should be the same for all children all over the world. We watched some great clips which share how the experiences of children differ all over the world and that we should be very grateful to live where we do. We also discussed the importance of doing what we can to help others wherever possible. We had a great discussion as well about what constitutes a right...new sneakers are not a right! The students understand that with these rights comes great responsibility. (They are on display, come and check them out!)


We had a fantastic time learning a lot about the Busselton Jetty at our Incursion a couple of weeks ago. The students had a great experience looking at the history of the jetty as well as some of the threats it faces,  how pollution is affecting the local fish and bird life and a chance to examine some fossilised critters and sea life.






In friday we went to the Nigilgi Cave and we were so lucky that the weather held out for us. We were part of a great intitiative with the City of Busselton to do some planting to help with the revegetation around the cave. As a way of thanking us for our efforts, we were spoilt with a hotdog and tour around the cave. Thank you to Mr Matthews and Mr Chandler who gave up their precious time to help make this day run as smoothly as possible.











HOMEWORK - WEEK 7

Please see below for the homework assigned for this week. If you can please support your child to complete all parts of their homework each week. This helps with their personal organisation and reduces their anxiety of getting in trouble when it is not done. 

We have also asked the students to show you their One Note diary page each week to help keep you up to date with what is happening - we feel that this helps them to build diary and organisation skills which are important foundations to build on as they move through their schooling.

You will notice that I have added in a small section underneath for you or your child to type in a small comment on their organisation around their homework.
1. Reading - Students are to read for 10 minutes each night.

2. Timetables - 9's -  Students are to practice at least 4 times throughout the week at home. 

3. Mental Maths- Complete Unit 15, p 30 & 31. All sections are to be completed including those missed from Monday and Tuesday.

4. Spelling - the students are to complete LSCWC with their spelling words. These are due in on Friday.


Let's hope the worst of the weather has happened and we can begin to enjoy some drier weather.

I hope to see you on Friday morning. 


Mrs Ricciardone
