Monday Memos Week 5 Term 1

Time is flying, week five already. A special thank you to Vicki, Sarah and Emily for coming along on a fairly warm day to enjoy some portraiture and street art. It was great to hear students openly discussing what the observed and understood about the art works they have seen.

In recent weeks we have been exploring ourselves and the influences on our lives. With this as a background, we will start to look at how choices that we make impact our well-being. Our recent art gallery visit will feed into this unit as we prepare to create their own self-portrait.

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.

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
