Week 3 Term 1 Memos

Routines are starting to take shape and we have begun to add more meat on the bones of our day to day. Some key things we would like to point out this week are:

 Spelling: This week we are looking at the prefix of ‘di’, ‘du’ and ‘bi’. This prefix gives the meaning of 2.
Examples: 
“di” - diverge
“du” - duet
“bi” - bicycle

 IT Agreements: these will be discussed this week in class. We ask that you also read through them with your child, so that you can return them ASAP. Once returned, students will receive their iPads so they can have full access. This will include them bringing them to and from school so that they can be recharged overnight as needed.


Unit of Inquiry: we are fully into the flow of our current unit in Who We Are. Today we formally introduced the Central Idea - 

 People make choices which impact personal wellbeing. 

 This unit is at the core of many activities we are doing and will be doing this year.

Uniform next week Students will be able to wear their sports uniforms on Tuesday and Wednesday next week in order to keep their formal uniforms in top condition for the Thursday night Graduation Evening.

Can you please check school bags, around the hou

Here we are, a couple days left. It would be interesting to know how all the students are feeling. I do know that some can’t wait to move on and some don’t want to leave. As always, many are probably feeling a little bit from column A and column B.  Reports Reports to go out tomorrow.  Pizza Lunch Tomorrow Tomorrow, as a gift to the students, Tayla and I have organised a pizza lunch for students. We hope they enjoy! Graduation Evening Please see your invite for the details of time. The evening will commence with the graduation ceremony and will lead into an evening of enjoying each other’s company one last time as a group.  So that things run smoothly, we ask that you arrive on time. Uniform The next two school days we are wearing sport uniform so that our formal uniforms are clean and tidy for the graduation ceremony and evening. In terms of formal uniform for the graduation ceremony, if you find that your child has out grown or needs a part of the uniform, let us know and we will o

Creeping closer and closer to the end of the year, but the work doesn’t stop…  Academics   The big ticket item in class right now is responding to the Ted Hughes novel The Iron Man. The Playberry literacy routines will continue through to the end of the year and in maths we are currently playing around with algebra and problem solving.  End of Year Guff As a part of the student graduation, we are after a photo of each child from when they commenced school (Foundation). If your child commenced at a different school, we would love it if you could email us a digital copy so we can add it to the presentation.  For the graduation evening, it is expected that students are wearing formal summer uniform. That includes socks 😁 Signing gear - we understand that kiddies (and adults) love this and that’s ok. History tells us that it also becomes a great distraction and sometime comments aren’t always written with kindness in mind. We will be talking to students about this but we will also only ac
