Tuesday Memos Week 7 Term 1

Long weekend is over and we press on to the next challenge or calendar landmark. For many that is Sports Day. For us in the Senior Unit it’s the final task in Unit of Inquiry task in our Well-being Unit.

UOI Task: Think about your well-being and choose a way you could improve an aspect of it.
Keep the choice simple and realistic as something you could actually do. 

Students will create and detail a goal/way to improve their wellbeing. They will need to give a few paragraphs of evidence as to the well-being benefits of the choice. Provide a list of ways the community helps or encourages people in this pursuit/goal/well-being choice. Lastly, they will need to provide a short plan on how they could carry out the goal or well-being choice.

Spelling: Prefix for 10 and others.

Gardening Volunteers: Please, if you are able to help out, even just once, come along and help out. It’s pretty good for ones well-being!

Pride: If you get a chance, it would be good to have a discussion with your child about pride in themselves. This could be about the way they present themselves or about the way they present their work. There seems to be a trend in drawing on themselves and a trend in scribbling work down and handing it up without editing or any neatness.


Whole School Info…

Staff Carpark and Bus Parking area
  • Up to now we have allowed parents to use the staff carpark for drop off and pick up.  However in recent times we have had (what we consider to be) ‘near misses’  as we have two busses that operate out of that area every morning and afternoon. To ensure safety of students boarding on and off the bus, as well as the safety of students coming to and from school, we no longer can allow parents to have access to this area in the morning drop off or afternoon pick up times.  Thanks for your understanding.  

Coronavirus
  • Attached to this email is some information regarding the corona virus that you are asked to read and comply with. If you have any questions or concerns please speak to Daryl.

Relay for Life
  • We are seeking interest from school community members who might be interested in participating in the Cancer Council’s Relay for Life on Saturday the 28th March here in Gawler. The school will subsidize entry costs (which are normally $12.50 per participant) but we would need about 10 to make it possible. Our participation would be from 2.00pm(opening ceremony) to 9.00pm (candlelight ceremony) and then our team would be free to leave. If you are interested please email Daryl (darylt@ilsg.sa.edu.au) asap.

Safety Incident Form

iGOSH 
  • Each child at iGOSH has a My iGOSH Life Book. This book is for the children to draw, write and add things they make, into a scrap book that will then be something special they take from iGOSH when they finish here. These scrap books will also have “Observations” that staff conduct on your children for you to read and reflect on. These are a great way to share with families the things your child does and how we plan activities based on your child’s needs and interests. On the sign in desk each week,  is a list of children that have observations for parents to read and comment on. So if your child’s name is on the list, please find their scrap book in the bottom draw near the desk, have a read, share it with your child and write a comment. We are excited to share these with you and thank you for your support.

Graduation is a week and a half away, so I pose this question to you… what type of graduation parent do you think you’ll be this year? Are you: A) a box of tissues type B) a yell out a comment type C) a ‘oh where did the time go’ type  D) a can’t believe they got this far type E) a you can’t have too many photos type F) all the above G) none of the above H) we will wait and see iPads iPads are being collected for decommissioning this Thursday, please make sure that they are fully charged on arrival at school that day and all wanted files have been backed up elsewhere. 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. Library books and scissors A strange pairing, but what do these two things have in common? When people graduate, both items can sometimes disappear, never to be seen again. 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
