Monday Memos Week 5 Term 2


 

In case you haven’t seen the Bunyip this article about the Canberra Camp was published in last weeks newspaper.

Spelling 
fer meaning carry/bear as in refer, conference, transferring 

Mathletics
1000 points per week

Boys Formal Winter Uniform

The correct boys winter uniform is long grey pants, the long sleeve shirt and a green jumper. 

 

A couple of years ago we started letting boys wear shorts through winter, on the proviso that they wear the green jumper with it. In recent times we are seeing a number of boys continuing to wear summer uniform, with out a jumper, through the entire day. 


We ask that parents/caregivers ensure that boys who  want to wear shorts through winter (and especially on these cold days) are wearing the formal green woollen jumper (and then wear the green rain jacket over the top of that if they are still cold etc).


Street Food Evening

Still to come this term is the ‘Street Food’ Evening where we will culminate and celebrate the learning program linked with the Kitchen/ Garden experiences.  


Please mark your calendar for the evening of Thursday June 29 where stalls will be set up around Warrinthi area and students will showcase their country of choice through food and cultural presentations.


Each student will be able to invite 2 guests. (This number is due to catering and size of the area available.) The evening will begin at 6pm. (More details will be explained closer to the date.)

Reminders re - Children on site prior to 8.30am

  • Our formal Staff Yard Duty structure begins at 8.30am and so students who are on site before 8.30am (and who are not in iGOSH) are unsupervised and so should not be on site. 
  • Students on site before 8.15am and not booked into iGOSH will be directed to iGOSH and charges will apply.
  • Students on site (but not booked into iGOSH) between 8.15am and 8.30am will be directed to sit on the seats under the shelter in the Warrinthi Upper Courtyard until 8.30am so that, while they will be unsupervised, there will be at least some level of care due to staff in nearby areas. 

 

iGOSH

  • Bookings close 2pm each Friday for the week ahead. Any further bookings required for the week need to be texted, emailed or phoned to Katrina
  • We serve a Snack at 4.30pm each afternoon. If parents arrive before this, you can either wait for us to get ready and serve or leave without the snack. We will give you a “take away” snack if you arrive at 4.30 as we are serving.

There will also be information steps on the front desk.     The next 3 weeks is a transition period so we can see that all bookings have been moved from carebookings into the new system. So please don’t worry if you still need to sign your children in using the paper copy.

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
