Week 6 Update

Good afternoon everyone,

 I hope that you all had a great weekend...hopefully your footy team had a win?! I will not break any records around the footy tipping this year for sure!
REMINDERS

 Catholic Day - Tuesday 6th June. This gives everyone an extra long weekend to enjoy!

 Winter Sports Carnival - Thursday 8th June. Please make sure that your child has returned their permission slip. We will be having a practice this Friday afternoon from 1.30pm. Students requiring any special equipment (hockey sticks, mouth guards etc.) will need to bring these.

 Eisteddfod Choir - Friday 16th June at 1.30pm. I will be sending a permission slip home tomorrow. Important information to note - we will be performing in the afternoon session which will conclude around 2.30/3pm. We will hop on the bus to come back to school as soon as possible but we will be back after the bus so you will need to make arrangements to either take your child from Bunbury or pick them up from school.
OUR LEARNING 

 Last week during our Literacy lessons we wrote a recount of our Camp Week. It was great to read about the week from the kids perspectives to hear about what they enjoyed and found challenging. I have the completed recounts up for display - please feel free to come in and check them out!

We have continued with our persuasive writing this week by looking at how we can improve a 'poor example' of a persuasive text by refining the structure and including the appropriate language features and persuasive devices.


We have also been using the PEEL paragraph structure to help us better understand how to construct a good persuasive paragraph!

During our maths lessons this week we have begun looking at volume and capacity and how to apply the formula for volume to a 3D shape. It would be great if you could find some real life examples at home of how volume and capacity is used!

Week 6

Good afternoon, Welcome to Week 6...I can't believe how quickly the term is getting away from us! Notes - Graduation Dinner, iMovie Night & Adventure World Thank you to those who have returned notes. If you have any to return, can you please send them in by the due date. I have placed copies of all notes sent home last week on the blog. At this stage you can't print them off directly so please see me if you need another copy. Mackillop Orientation Day - 25th November - I will put on the blog a copy of the letter (in a separate post) that was sent home by Mr Ben Horrocks a few weeks ago for your reference. For those students not attending Mackillop in 2016, please note that your child is welcome to stay home and enjoy a day working on their Year Books. If your child will be coming on the day to OLC on the 25th November, can you please advise me as soon as possible.

Hi Parents and students, What a great weekend to be down south! So special to be able to witness such a unique swell direction and see the whole coastline light up. Can’t wait for the next cyclone swell in 9 years! Affirmation of the Week: Camp: I am still on the hunt for some dad volunteers for the Year 6 camp. Let me know if you are interested. Chrism Mass: Please make sure your child has brought their permission slip into me tomorrow morning. Some children have suggested that they have misplaced their note. I have said to them to have Mum or Dad write a note that they give them permission to travel by bus, to and from St Patrick’s Cathedral in Bunbury. Please refer to the ‘Chrism Mass Blog’ for any other info. Holy Week: The Year 5’s and 6’s will be presenting their part of Holy Week celebrations on Wednesday morning at 9:00am in the hall.

All students must wear a rashie! We will arrive at the beach at 11.45am. We will have lunch when we arrive and then we will hit the activities.
