Monday Memos Week 9 Term 2

The final play before the half time break, still a few things to do before we get to have a rest...

Tuesday: Stephanie Alexander Kitchen/Mathematics Shopping Excursion

We will be heading off to Coles in the morning to get our ingredients together for the Street Food evening Wednesday. Students will be walking to and from Coles for this excursion and accompanied by school staff. 

Wednesday: Street Food evening

Students will spend the day preparing for the evening and head home at the normal time. They are expected to be back at school by 6pm to begin preparing (the German group will be serving). 

For the evenings catering and space, please remember that each student is restricted to two guests. Drinks will be available also during the evening. 

Students are not being supplied food during the evening, they are here to serve their guests. Please make sure they have had some tea prior to getting here.

Thursday:

Clean up from the night before and reflect.

Friday:

Prepare for the holidays and complete unfinished work and reflections. This includes the Spelling test for List 15.

And here’s the other news from around the grounds...




Whole School Update…

 

Term 2 concludes this Friday 25 June, normal dismissal time 3.25pm.    We wish you all a safe and happy 3 week holiday break.  

Term 3 returns Monday 19 July.  Term 3 is a 10 week term and concludes Friday 24 September.   

  • iGOSH is open for the 3 weeks of holidays
  • Teaching staff are on site next week doing some PD and Training
  • Office will be open Mon, Tues, Weds 9am to 3pm. 
  • Please check your child’s uniform (jumpers and rugby tops) over the holidays to ensure they are clearly named.  There are so many unnamed items in the lost property box in the office.  For uniform sales over the holidays please email jennyj@ilsg.sa.edu.au to book a time.  

 

Semester 1 Reports

  • These will be sent home with students on Fri 25 June in a sealed envelope along with PLP’s and music tuition reports.  Please open at home and share the results with your child.  

 

Learning Support Teacher 

  • Recently we advertised for a Learning Support teacher to join our team. This is a new position and recognises the commitment we have to supporting all students (and especially those who need some extra help).   We received a pleasing number of excellent applications and went through an interview process. The panel determined that the best applicant was Mrs Marianne Roberts and so we have appointed her to this new position effective Semester 2 this year.
  • We have managed to appoint Miss Tania Wain to fill the Year 1 position for the remainder of the year. Tania has been a long serving teacher at Immanuel and returns after teaching overseas for the last 2 years. Certainly, we are excited to have Tania return to our school and many of you will know her from her time with us previously and we are equally excited to be able to increase (our already high) commitment to the area of Learning Support.

 

Building Works

  • This week starts the refurbishment of the rooms on the northern side of Taikondi (Year 2 & 3 rooms plus staffroom & music rooms).  There is still access into Taikondi via the breezeway and the southern end Taikondi glass doors.  Safety barricades are in place.

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.

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
