Monday Memos Week 10 Term 3

Last week of Term 3 means the finish line for Primary Schooling is in sight. A few key things to mull over and know about next term...

Exhibition 

We hope to have Central Ideas and Lines of Inquiry worked out this week with groups so students can head off to holidays with a clear mindset of where they are going with their inquiry. Also, hit up the link below for our class journal showing the Exhibition process.

Great for starting discussions at home.

Bike Ed 

This is happening Week One. Students can’t wear sports uniform all week.

Bringing in bikes: students are encouraged to bring their bike in on Tuesday morning so it can be checked over by the RAA. If you wish to bring the bike in on Monday before or after school, feel free to. If you can bring your bikes in nice and early on the Tuesday or on the Monday, it means the RAA can check and service bikes straight away. They will be here from 8am to commence working on bikes.

We will house bikes in a locked area for the week so students can leave their bikes here. If students wish to ride their bikes to and from school, they are more than welcome to.


Camp - Port Vincent

We are looking at heading away on camp during Week 6 next term from Wednesday to Friday. This camp will see us involved in an aquatics program for the three days we are there. This includes sailing and knee boarding as some of our activities. The cost of the camp will be $300 per student. 

Stay tuned for notes to be coming out this week.

Andrew McDonough - Author & Illustrator 

We had a bit of fun Friday afternoon. It was nice to see some creative juices flowing and people getting out of their comfort zones and drawing some McDonough inspired critters.

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.

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
