Monday Memos Week 4 Term 1

With Week 3 finished (but really Week 1), we are still settling in and learning routines and expectations. Part of this settling in is learning to exist and learn in and around a bigger group of students. The good thing is, we are moving in the right direction. 

Spelling

Group 1 - ‘bi’, ‘di’, ‘du’ as in two. Examples: duet, dilemma, bicentenary 

Group 2 - ‘ai’, ‘ay’, ‘a_e’ sound. Examples: mainly, layer, escape

IT Agreements

Thank you so much for attending to this. We only have a few left outstanding.

Uniform 

Has been good so far. Just a reminder that sport socks need to be plain white. Unfortunately, no sponsorships can be on show.

Mathletics

Students might notice some adjustments to Mathletics accounts this week as we try to tailor them to individuals.

SAKG

Is set to start this week. In recent years, we have had students organise and cater a foodie evening for parents. Hopefully getting started this week will help students move in the right direction for this to happen 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.

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
