Term 4, Week 1


Hi Parents and Students,

Firstly, I would like to say a BIG WELCOME BACK! It’s great to finally enjoying some warmer weather. Secondly, I would like to say GO THE EAGLES – PREMIERS 2018! Such an exciting game to watch with a great result to match.

Quote of the Week:






WEDNESDAY PHOTO SHOOT:

In preparation for the Graduation dinner, the children will be getting a group shot taken by some Year 5 parents on Wednesday afternoon.

PEACE POSTER:

Each year the Lion’s Club involve the Year 6’s with an international Peace Poster competition. This year’s theme is ‘Kindness Matters”. Your child may come home to discuss the theme and get any possible ideas for their art work. Brainstorming and drafting their art work can be done at home but the actual artwork will be completed at home. The due date for the completed artwork is Monday 22nd October.


MUSICAL DVD:

If you are looking to order a Jungle Book DVD, please see Fran in the office or visit the school website to complete your order.

Literacy:
Under this section you will find the literacy learning intentions for the week.

CAFÉ-R (Traits of good readers)
We will focusing on finding similarities and differences within the texts that we read. To understand what we read, we sometimes need to think about how things are alike or how they are different and to make comparisons.

Voices (Traits of good writers)
The students will begin to break down the structure and language features of a narrative this week. After completing this, we will move on to creating a setting, building a character and developing a plot. The students will use the work they have completed on the setting, characters and plot as the basis for their own narratives.

Numeracy
Under this section you will find the Numeracy learning intentions for the week.

We are investigating coordinates this week. Students will also be encouraged to revise their Term 3 work this week. Thursday will be used as a revision lesson in preparation for the test on Friday.

HOME LEARNING:

Now that the musical is finally behind us, home learning will go back to some normality. The children will not receive a Home Learning Grid though. Home learning will go on a day-by-day basis. At the end of each day, we will be writing in our diaries together and any learning should be completed that night ready for school the next day.

If your child is unable to complete the set tasks due to any after school commitments, they will be required to complete it with the following day’s home learning or alternatively they can use the 8:30am - 8:45am time before school to complete some tasks.



Enjoy the rest of the week!

Mr Jones

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.
