Monday Memos Week 2 Term 1

Here we go ladies and gentlemen, we are into it. It was wonderful to see so many of you come and see us present during the Parent Info Evening. If you weren’t able to make it and have any questions, please let us know or come in and say hello.

Thank you and congratulations to the students who managed to bring in belongings and artefacts to talk about themselves. The students who presented did a fantastic job. Here are some things to think about:

Seesaw

If you haven’t signed in and explored please come and see us so we can help get you sorted. We already have begun adding learning experiences to the student accounts.

Spelling

We have started spelling this week. We are looking at the prefix ‘uni’ and ‘mono’. We spent a lot of time today setting up the standard and explaining the setup. Students will hopefully complete their spelling by Friday setting themselves up for a spelling test Friday.

Uniform

Monday, Tuesday and Friday - Sport

Wednesday and Thursday - Formal

If you will have an interest to attend an excursion, camp or help in the classroom this year, please ensure you have the above paperwork in place. 

 

Lyndoch Road Crossing Monitors

·         Lyndoch Rd is a busy road for children to cross, so we use our the lolly pop volunteers to help. 

·         The year 5 and 6 students will be trained this Thursday by SA Traffic Police Dept.  The students are then teamed up with an adult volunteer on a morning / afternoon roster.  

·         We are seeking volunteers (parents, grandparents, local community people) to help with this along with training to support you in this role.   

·         Please let the office know if you can help with this important role. 

 

School Uniform Shop Purchases

Second Hand Uniform Shop Stall

·         We need a Volunteer person to help open this stall this year

·         If you’re interested, please let the office staff know

 

iGOSH

·         Thank you for a wonderful Vac Care. We hope all the children enjoyed the days they attended. There is a parent feedback clipboard at iGOSH, please provide us with some feedback to help with our future planning.

·         We still have a tub of lost property. Please check this if you are missing something

·         Hats are compulsory at iGOSH this term. We do not have spare hats so all the children are required to have their own. This can either be their school hat which they bring to and from school or you may purchase a spare school hat that can then remain at iGOSH for when your child attends. The cost of the hat is $10 and will be charged to your iGOSH account. Please see staff at iGOSH if you would like to do this. You are also welcome to come and take your child’s hat to wash. Some of them are looking a little grubby after our big vac care.

·         If there have been any changes with your child’s dietary needs, please let us know so we can cater for them with our breakfast and snacks

Booking Reminders:

·         Bookings close 2pm each Friday for the week ahead. Any changes after this will need to be emailed to Katrina, changed with staff at iGOSH or a phone call.

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.

We hope they enjoy! Graduation Evening Please see your invite for the details of 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
