Good morning everyone,  I hope your weekend has treated you well and the children have had a chance to rest and recoup ready for the last week of the their swimming lessons. Congratulations to Lucy McKeaig on receiving our Star Citizen Award and to Jaz Currie on receiving the merit award this week. They are both outstanding role models within our class who are showing many positive learning qualities. I'm happy to brag with you all that there are so many positive things to celebrate in our class at the moment. REMINDERS - WEEK 7 SWIMMING LESSONS: A big thank you to you all for being so organised with the children's swimming needs last week, the sessions ran really well, with only a few occasions where a t-shirt went walkabouts, a towel/thongs were left at school and a forgotten rashie. All in all, it was pretty easy experience! I am hoping it remains the same for this week.  Just a reminder that there is NO canteen at all this week, due to the students being...

Good morning, I apologise that this blog is arriving a little later than normal this week, with a big day yesterday there was no time to stop and get this info out.  I am so pleased to say that our first day of swimming was a huge success yesterday! We managed to work hard in the morning, get changed, eat and swim like champions, all before coming back and learning a little more.  The students were very  responsible with their belongings and there were no reports of anything being lost (hopefully this was still the case when they got home later in the day). Can I just ask that all students bring thongs or  slip on sandals today to change into before the lesson, as these are far more convenient to put on when the children get out of the water with their sandy feet to walk up to the bus! In the class, we have started to celebrate students who are 'On-a-roll', meaning they are working hard to show personal growth/progress in different Learning Areas. The...

Good morning, We hope you had a fun-filled weekend in the glorious sunshine! I had family down from Perth and getting out and about made me realise how lucky we are to live in such a special place. A big congratulations to all the year four's who swam last week in their first swimming carnival. There were a few nerves on the day, however they all can be proud that they had a go and tried their best! Well done to Jaz, Ebony, Lara and Vinny for receiving a medal on the day REMINDERS - WEEK 5 Ash Wednesday Mass  - Tomorrow the 6th of March is Ash Wednesday. The Year Four's will be leading a mass in the hall tomorrow at 9am to welcome the season of Lent. We would love it if you are able to join us, to celebrate this important Catholic ritual. We ask that those students who have a reading part to practise tonight to ensure they are confident tomorrow during the mass. Swimming  Lessons - Week 6&7   - Swimming lessons begin next ...

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to another fantastic week in 4R.

A big thank you to those parents that were able to attend our meeting last week. If your child has not yet given you their copy of the booklet, please let me know or come in and grab one. They are hanging on the homework board as you walk into class. REMINDERS - WEEK 4 Swimming  Carnival   - Is on this Thursday 28th February! All parents are welcome to come and support if they can.
