Week 9 Term 4

Good morning,

 So here it is... the final blog post of the year with all the important information about the upcoming events this week.

 It has been such a wonderful year with a significant amount of growth, hard work and fun. I have really enjoyed teaching your children, as they all have shown off their own little gifts at some point throughout the year. Thank you for your support and enabling your children to be here with all the things they have needed to ensure their learning could happen.
See below for the important reminders.

WEEK 9 REMINDERS:

End of Year Christmas Concert - is on tomorrow night Tuesday beginning at 5.30pm. If you can please have your child at school by 5.15pm dressed in Christmas colours...seats will be at a premium so factor that in to your plans!
Colour Run - this will take place on Friday 13th December. This a free dress and we ask that you send in an extra white t-shirt for your child to change into. 

Reports - these will be sent home with your child on Friday. If your child is not at school on Friday it will be posted to you.

Books - these will be sent home with your child in the coming days. This does not mean that all school work has stopped...it hasn't. It just means that we are keen to avoid a massive load being sent home on the last day!
Prayer Assembly - there will be a farewell prayer assembly for the Year 6 students on Friday morning beginning at 9am. You are warmly invited to attend if you are able.
Have a great week, I hope to see you all at some point to wish you well for the Christmas break.

Week 6: I love long weekends!

Good evening, What a well-timed long weekend! It was a a great chance to rest and recoup, with lots of fun things to do in the most beautiful place with the most beautiful weather! I hope you've had a wonderful break. This week is a short one, but  a full one. CLASSROOM Reading groups were a hit!!  As stated last week, reading groups have begun and I can happily report that both myself and the students were very excited when reading group time came around each day! The student's really enjoyed the variety of activities, as well as, working in a new format with different friends.

Week 8 Term 2

Good afternoon parents, I can not begin to explain how proud I was of all the students yesterday at the First Eucharist mass. They acted with great reverence and respect, participating so well in every part of the mass.  A tear did well in my eye when I saw the students reciting the prayers and completing the actions at the appropriate times. We thank you for the support and guidance you have given throughout the preparation of the sacrament. All of the students have taken home today their poster, banner, prayer card and cross as little mementos for you to keep and reflect on in time to come. Congratulations to Lucas, Taylah and Gabriel on receiving a Merit award at Friday's assembly, they are working hard to achieve their best . It has been a very busy few weeks and we have some important events coming up, please see the Reminders section below. REMINDERS - WEEK 8 World Refugee Lunch Day  - is being held this Wednesday 20th June, your child will need to bring a cont

Good afternoon parents, I hope you are well and the week is flying by, getting us a closer to the weekend ahead! I am writing to you to clarify the recent news the children received about Sally the Sloth in class, as I know there has been a lot of excitement around this.  As part of the Talk4Write PD I completed before school started this term, I was taught a new concept of when introducing a new writing genre, try to create a 'hook' to get the students really excited, engaged and wanting to learn more about the subject. At the start of this Term we are focusing on Persuasive writing, therefore the 'hook' I created was that Sally the sloth is apart of a breeding program at the Perth Zoo and I had made an application to have the chance to babysit Sally for a week. My application was approved and told them in a couple of weeks (after her immunisations of course), I will be able to drive up to Perth to collect her for a week. I then told the students that the
