Hi Everyone, Sorry it has been a couple of weeks since we have posted but we have been extremely busy!! As you know we have had to relocate to Rm 3 and we are not really sure how long we will be there. It could be until the end of the term. Thank you so much to those parents who hung around on Monday morning and helped us shift. It made things much easier.

We have been using a website called Class Dojo which helps us to track the kids behavior and learning. While this is something we are using in class, we did give the kids their 'secret code' which enables them to go online and check their progress. This is not something they have to do but as many of them did want to check it out we gave the code to all of them.

This week is Book Week and we have been to the library for a quiz as well as taken part in a variety of  book activities. The kids have really enjoyed this. Due to this we haven't run our normal literacy activities but will be back to it next week. We also visited the Tea Tree Gully library which the kids enjoyed and we appreciated all the parent helpers we had. It turned out to be a wet day so lucky we didn't walk!

Just an advance notice that I will be on long service leave in week ten of this term. Aleysha Turner will be in to work with Lisa.

Well look forward to hearing from you all...... Been a bit quiet ....... :)

Week 4

Hi Everyone,

Sorry we havent added anything for a couple of weeks, we have been so busy!
The kids are really enjoying our work on the Olympics and we are all learning alot. The kids have made torches and olive wreaths as well as sharing some great information.
Over the last couple of weeks we have had a lot of sickness, for example yesterday we had 12 kids away!
Lisa has lost her voice so wont be in for the rest of the week and we are hoping to have Mr V come in to work with us.
I will be out of the classroom on Wednesday due to a prearranged appointment and on Friday all junior primary teachers will be out at a conference. We apologise for the messy week, we are looking forward to getting back to a normal week too.



Well Done to Mia and Kayne for receiving this weeks Principal's Award!
