Week 6 Term 2 Monday Memos

Over halfway though the term and the push is now on to learn all we can before the mid year holidays. Here are the bits you need to know...

Spelling 
List 15 for both spelling groups

Graduation Tops 
In the next few days a letter will be going out detailing the cost and process to take if students want graduation tops this year. Like previous years, the aim is to have existing sports uniform t-shirts printed on over a holiday period. Due to Covid19 we are a term behind in this but would still like to offer it to students. Stay tuned for the letter

Mr S taking some time out
Mr Semmler is going on long service leave for the final two weeks of this term and the first week of Term 3. It planned that Mr Matthew Window, whom many of the students are familiar with, will be here to cover Mr Semmler across these three weeks. 

Whole School Info

  • If your child is absent on a day please let the office know via phone or email or email your class teacher with details.  
  • As we enter the cooler months, with it comes the runny noses, coughs and colds.  To assist parents with finding the most up-to-date information, we suggest the SA Health website and Facebook page. These sites are regularly updated with current health information and guidance. Please visit www.sahealth.sa.gov.au

This link here shows some picture cards to help with school exclusion periods.

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.

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
