Monday memos Week 9 Term 1


It's Week 9 and we have moved on to the next two Units of Inquiry. 

Last week we introduced students to the How we organise ourselves transdisciplinary theme that will connect strongly with our visit to Canberra. The central idea we unpack is Societies are shaped by their decision making processes.

We have  introduced the concepts of citizenship and each student has received a passport where they will learn about the rights and responsibilities of an Australian Citizen.  

The other inquiry that is beginning is Where we are in place and time.  The central idea is Exploration leads to discovery and develops new understandings of the world.

Remember to check that daily Reading and  Mathletics are occurring.  

Spelling and Portraits are to be completed and handed up this Friday.

  • On the front sign in desk at iGOSH is a survey about how you would like observations that we do on your children shown to you. Currently we show them to you when you drop off and collect your child and this is done when we complete an observation. We would like your feedback on if you like this current way or would you prefer to just see the observations at the end of each term? On the desk is a quick tick a box feedback survey that we would like you to fill in. We are also currently exploring an iGOSH seesaw class to which we hope to be able to share photos and eventually these observations. More information will come out next week regarding our seesaw class, as you will all be invited to it.

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
