Week 10 Term 2

Good afternoon!

The last week has arrived and we are finally on the home stretch!

Term 2 has been such a busy and productive time, the students have worked like troopers producing some amazing pieces of work! We are very proud of the learning habits they have developed and the maturity they are showing as we grow closer to Year 5. In saying this, it is time for a well-deserved break!



REMINDERS - WEEK 10

Father Ian and Mr Wilkie Farewell Mass - Tomorrow Father Tony Chiera will be celebrating Mass with us in the hall to wish Mr Wilkie and Fr Ian a happy farewell and retirement. The mass will begin at 1.30 pm and afterwards there will be an afternoon tea for the parents and parishioners to share together. It has been asked if families in Years Four to Six provide a plate for this afternoon tea and take it to the hall in the morning. We thank you for your support with this.



Pencil Cases Refill - At the end of this week we will be sending the student's pencil cases home to be restocked and organised. We are finding that every time we need to rule up, cut something out or glue something down, a stream of students are moving around looking to borrow from their classmates. Please have a quick look in their pencil cases to check this.

Pupil Free Day - Just a friendly reminder that the first day back (Monday 22nd July) of Term 3 is a pupil free day. Looking forward to seeing you on the Tuesday!

HOMEWORK - WEEK 10

Please see below for the homework assigned for this week. 

1. Reading - Students are to read for 10 minutes each night.
2. Timetables - 12's -  Students are to practice at least 4 times throughout the week at home. 

3. Spelling - the students are to complete LSCWC with their spelling words and put their words into sentences on One Note. These are due in on Friday.

NO MENTAL MATH'S THIS WEEK!



Have a happy and safe holiday with your children. We thank you so much for your support over the past term. We are looking forward to the exciting times ahead.




Have fun and relax!

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. Each week, we are going to focus on one of the 8 Reading Comprehension Strategies, using videos from the website  Into the Book . Please feel free to check out the website by clicking on the link. In Science last week, we began our study into 'Biological Sciences'. The students learnt about the life cycle of a sunflower (plant), which we will compare and contrast between the li

Eucharist Is Finally Here!

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to Eucharist Week. We are working hard and learning a lot about this special Sacrament as we get ready to receive it on Sunday. REMINDERS - WEEK 8  Dress for Sunday  - A reminder that all students receiving the Sacrament need to be dressed in their Sunday best.  This means a white dress/skirt/blouse for the girls with appropriate footwear and a white button up shirt for the boys with dress pants.  A reminder that no denim or skate shoes are to be worn. Church Tour and Eucharist Rehearsals  - We will be heading down to the church on Friday 21st June at 11.30am. This will mean unfortunately that the Year 4 students  will not be able to participate  in the Refugee Rice Lunch experience. We ask that as many students as possible make a gold coin donation in lieu of missing out on this important event. The students will be taken on a tour through the church where they will learn more about the items found in the church, the s

Sally the Sloth

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
