Monday Memos Week 4 Term 1

Getting into the swing of things now, still looking for some improvements as we always do. here is a few bits and pieces you should know...

Excursion to the Art Gallery

This Thursday is an excursion to the Art Gallery of South Australia. This afternoon you should have received a consent form for this excursion. If you are able to volunteer your time to come on a bus or even drive a group into the city, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Don't forget sports uniform and a packed recess/lunch for this excursion.

Spelling

We are working on List 3 this week. Great to see students translating their lists into the LOTE language they are studying.

Mathletics

Great start by students with a large number of students reaching 1000 points last week. Keep it up.


Whole School Update…

Shrove Tuesday (or Pancake Day) – tomorrow!

  • Tuesday 16 February - students and parents can come join us between 8.00am to 8.45am to have a pancake for brekky.
  • Under the shelter between the staffroom and iGOSH building  

 

VSC Volunteer Training  

  • ‘Valuing Safe Communities’ (VSC) training. 
    This will be held this week Wednesday 17 February 2021 at 6.30pm in the Library (Admin building) with Daryl Trigg. 
    Apologies we had to cancel this session last week.  RSVP via emailing jennyj@ilsg.sa.edu.au  

 

Worship and Praise

Friday 19 February starting at 9.30am.

  • Miss Sunman’s Year 2 class will be presenting

Parents and friends are welcome to join us, please register to attend via the online booking system www.schoolinterviews.com.au and enter the code 74hxu

 

School Lane Access

  • Please remember that you cannot drive up School Lane direct from Daly Street.  You need to enter our school carpark off Daly Street and then exit the gate and turn left up school lane.  It is a one way road so please drive with care, and remember the 10km/h speed zone.

Learning Conferences Term 1 

·         PLP Student Learning Conferences will be scheduled this week and next week.  Teachers will be in contact soon with these particular parents of students to book a time. 

·         Learning Conferences for the remaining students will be scheduled in Term 1 Week 6 & 7.  Stay tuned for the booking process. 

Subway Lunches

·         Orders due into the office on a Wednesday by 3.30pm for lunch on a Friday.

·         Please write clearly on the order form the student name and teacher name and place in clear bag or envelope, so we can see the name.

·         As from this week Subway Gawler (Murray Street) will be providing the school lunches.  (Tony at Subway Gawler Green has sold his business after 24 years in Gawler – we thank him for helping our school for the past 4 years).  

 

Lyndoch Road Crossing Monitors

  • Lyndoch Rd is a busy road for children to cross, so we use our lolly pop volunteers to help. 
  • We are seeking some more volunteers (parents, grandparents, local community people) to help with this.  Training for the adult volunteers is booked for Monday 22 February at 3:35pm  to 4:05pm.   Please let the office know if you can help with this important role.

iGOSH

·         If you are needing bookings for the week ahead (and book in after 2pm on the Friday before), please email katrinap@ilsg.sa.edu.au  We print the booking sheets at 2pm so bookings made after this will not appear on our printouts. This then makes things confusing when children arrive at iGOSH and are not on the lists.

·         If you are needing iGOSH as a last minute booking you need to book by ringing / or texting 0447 661 555, or emailing katrinap@ilsg.sa.edu.au   We have strict children to staff ratios and staff are rostered based on the weeks bookings. So just arriving at iGOSH in the mornings without a booking could leave us out of our children to staff ratio. So please make sure you are booking your child(ren) in.

·         Just a reminder that we offer a light snack between 4.30pm to 4.45pm each afternoon. We encourage the children to sit and eat their snack before they leave. We would prefer that they are not leaving with their food.  Your help and support with this is appreciated.

Wellbeing and Circle Time

  • This week’s topic is People can help if you talk to them. Get a reality check.

School Uniform Shop Purchases

·         During term 1 please see the office staff for sales assistance and we can help you

Second Hand Uniform Shop Stall

·         Thank you to Rashidah (school parent) for volunteering to look after this stall.  

·         It will open every Wednesday afternoon between 3.10-3.40pm and every Friday morning between 8.45am to 9.15am  

Assembly Term 1

·         This will be held Week 6 (Monday 1st March with Specialist teaches) and Week 9 (Monday 22 March with Year 4’s) in term 1

·         Starting at 2.45pm in Taikondi

Open Day

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
