Monday Memos Week 10 Term 3

As we make our way into the final week of Term 3, students are looking forward to a couple weeks off after a very busy term. Hear some intel into what is going on right now:

Exhibition

Students are at a stage of the process where they are asking their own questions and are beginning to look at researching. As the week progresses we hope that students begin to make contact with people and organisations to gain primary information to bolster their research. 

Please keep the evening of November 8 free. We will be presenting our Exhibition that evening. More information will come out at the start of next term.

Summer Uniforms

As students start to wear their formal summer uniforms, can we please make sure that sizes fit and hem lines are at an appropriate length. 

Lion King Excursion

We look forward to this experience and hope the students find entertaining. Students are expected to wear their formal uniform on this day as usual.

2024 Class Placements

  • If you are not returning to Immanuel in 2024 (other than moving into a secondary school) please be reminded that a terms notice is required.  Please put this in writing to darylt@ilsg.sa.edu.au
  • At this time each year we ask for any input from families around class placement for 2024.  Generally this input will be around learning needs and information that will help us place students in class groups for maximum success. We ask that families refrain from ‘requesting teachers’ especially as teaching staff can change (due to either leaving our school or changing grades).     
  • Stay tuned for an Operoo e-form this week, on which you can provide input.  Please be aware that this information is shared with class teachers as we work through the process.  Information will be due early in term 4.

 

School Feedback Survey Reminder 

  • An opportunity to ask any question you may have or give any feedback to us that you think would be useful for us as we seek to refine and improve as a learning community

Uniform next week Students will be able to wear their sports uniforms on Tuesday and Wednesday next week in order to keep their formal uniforms in top condition for the Thursday night Graduation Evening. Library books and scissors A strange pairing, but what do these two things have in common? When people graduate, both items can sometimes disappear, never to be seen 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. 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
