Monday Memos Week 9 Term 2

Last week before holidays is here. May God bless you all over the next period before commencing the second semester.

Street Food Night

This Thursday night is showtime and here are the details:

Start time 6pm (entrees on offer at around 6:30pm)

Guests: 2 people per student. (This allows us to control serving sizes for catering purposes)

Food: Each guest will receive a ticket for an entree, a main and a dessert

Drinks: will be available during the evening (students will be able to collect a can of drink at the end of the night, not before hand)

Dress Code for students: formal school uniform unless they have pre-organised costumes that fit within their cultural theme.

All students need to get there at 6pm so they can help prepare and serve

Finish Time: we aim to wrap up around 8pm but like all hospitality type events we may be going a little longer than that. (After all, kids need to do their dishes)

Spelling 

The ‘t’ sound - with words like: doubt and baguette 

Kids Helpline 

Kids Helpline are delivering a session for us this Friday on Let’s talk about Emotions. Please see the flyer below. If you wish for your child not to be involved, there is a form attached to the weekly email.

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
