Monday Memos Week 5 Term 2

We head into hump week and there is plenty going on. It’s great to see Mrs Eckermann back after her little break.

Walk to Taikondi

As a part of our Maths and Christian Studies, we are heading on a local walk (weather permitting) to Taikondi tomorrow between recess and lunch. Students are to wear sports uniform for this little excursion. If students want to pack a wet weather jacket tomorrow they can. (Might be worth naming it) 

In heading down there by foot, we will be testing our speed and measurement calculations that we have been carrying out in class. We will also talk about spirituality and how nature and location is important to the Kaurna people but also to many others. We will also have a cheeky snag in bread while we are down there. Fingers crossed for this little outing.

Bike Ed 

Day 1 last Thursday went really well with a few riders experiencing some fantastic development in their riding skills. There has been a slight change in the timetabling though as the expected 4 day program has now been condensed into 3 days. This means we ask that students take their bikes home on the 9th June or shortly after that date.

Spelling - List 14

Group 1 - ‘cc’ for a ‘k’ sound (hiccup, accompany, occur)

Group 2 - ‘qu’ (quiver, liquid, aquarium)

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
