Tuesday Memos Week 11 Term 1

We hope that everyone enjoyed their Easter break and enjoys the student holiday break ahead.  

Kitchen 

Thursday we will be condensing the kitchen cooking into 2 one hour blocks before recess (9:00 - 10:00 & 10:00 - 11:00) This is due to the students being involved in a cyber safety session after recess. This week the students will begin cooking some food for camp. Volunteers are more than welcome to come and help the cooking as usual. 

Camp

Camp is in the horizon and will be upon us before we know it. This week we aim to show and tell some of the attractions that we will visit in preparation. This week we will also be sending out a what to bring list for the students to check off as they pack.

Spelling

Words ending in ‘cious’

Literacy - Holes

This week to complete the work on our class novel Holes, we will be watching the movie. The purpose of watching the movie is to make comparisons between the written story and the movie, as well as trying to understand why there are differences between the two mediums.

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 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
