Reminder

Hi Again!
Just a reminder that it is really important that the kids continue to work on Reading Eggs and Mathletics during the holidays. This will help them stay on track for next term, as well as give them a bit of routine during the holidays!
Have a lovely break everyone!

Well Done to these students who received an assembly award this week. Great job Marinder, Troy, Kee and Laila!

Today was Casual Clothes Day! The kids were very excited (as you can see from the photo) !!

Here is our first couple of Public Speaking Topics for next term.

Week 9

Well..... Here we are in week 9 already! Time has gone so quickly.
We would like to say a big thank you to all our parents who have been helping us during our literacy block. We really appreciate it! Bec Miller, Sue Gosden, Julie Hodge, Annie Storoschuk, Tammy O'Rourke, Leanne Kean, Rebecca Wythe, and Jo Downs, you are awesome!
As you will all know this Friday is casual clothes day. the kids need to bring a gold coin donation and need to wear appropriate footwear for outside.
Next Friday is our celebration day and we are looking forward to reflecting on the term and enjoying some social skills games with the kids. The kids think it is hilarious that we are coming in our pajamas too!! Thanks to those who have paid their $3.
I will post our Term 3 overview as well as our new Sharing Roster over the next couple of days.

Hi Everyone, we have had a busy week so far...... This week we have had lots of kids away with colds and gastro type bugs. We have been reminding them to use the Germ Buster to stop the spread of germs.
Over the next couple of weeks we will be spending lots of time planning for next term. We will be starting the term with some work on the Olympic Games and then we are working on a science topic where we will be investigating solids, liquids and gases. This will involve a great deal of 'hands on' activities which we know the kids really enjoy.
As you know, next Monday is a pupil free day, where we will be working on planning for mathematics. We are working within a new curriculum this year so are looking forward to really becoming more familiar with it.
We are also in the planning phase of a celebration day at the end of term and will send details out about this soon.
We have really appreciated everyone taking the time to check out our blog, and those who have made a google account so they are able to make comments as well. Parent feedback is really important to us as we don't get to see everyone regularly and it gives us that extra opportunity to communicate with you in an informal way.
See you all soon!

Assembly Awards

At last weeks assembly these people received an award for being confident. Well Done guys!

Great job Angus, Katey, Connor and Max.

This week we have started our new topic for Public Speaking. We have been impressed by the organisation skills the kids have demonstrated. They are speaking more clearly and confidently.

Caleb made a presentation about porpoises.

Matthew shared what he found out about mussels.

Navi had recorded a lot of information about seals.

Our French Lesson

Hi Everyone, today Mrs Bradshaw was doing planning in the office and Mr R came to work in our class. Among other things Mr R is a French teacher. This afternoon he worked with the kids teaching them to count to ten in French! The kids really enjoyed this.

As you know the next two weeks are going to be short weeks due to the public holiday next Monday and the Pupil Free Day the following week. This Wednesday I will be attending a Literacy Conference. Melissa Thomas will be coming in to work with Lisa and the day will run as normal.

On Monday mornings I am out on the crossing and Lisa is part of a committee meeting that meets each Monday morning. This morning we were held up as this meeting hadn't finished, and we thank you for your patience with this.

Well, that is all the news for the moment!
