Term 1 Week 3


Welcome to Week 3 everyone,

This is the first blog of the year and I am very excited to have your wonderful children this year.
It has been a great start to the year and can believe that we have had 2 full weeks already!
If you need to email me about anything please feel free to do so at benjamin.danaher@cewa.edu.au

Incursion/Excursion Notes and Swimming notes:
If there is anyone that has not returned their incursion or excursion notes, we have some spares in the classroom if you would like to fill one in, otherwise, it was included in the last newsletter for you to fill out and print at home. Swimming notes are also required back ASAP, if you need another one, please come and see me.

School AGM:
A reminder that all parents are encouraged to attend the school AGM on Wednesday night beginning at 7pm in the hall...Mr Lee is a stickler for time and assures us we will be out of there by 7.59pm! This is a great chance to hear what is happening in the school and to volunteer for any positions! The P&F is still looking for members!

Homework - Week 3 
Our homework grid is to be completed over the week from Monday to Thursday and is due in on Friday morning to be checked. If you can please make sure that your child has chased you around the house so you can sign their grid, I would be most appreciative!

Our Learning:
This Monday we joined 4DEL to make catapults for design technologies. It was an awesome lesson seeing all the students working together to understand how different materials create better catapults. Below are some photos of the students during the lesson.




Once again, I thank you for a fantastic start to the term!

It has been a very trying time and its important to show care and stay safe. It’s been wonderful to have Team meetings with those at home and to see the great work they have been doing.   This Blog will have information regarding Online Learning. It will explain how I want Teams and OneNote to work as well as how to access the videos I have created. There will also be a Do’s and Don’ts section at the end of this Blog. Teams: After one week of using Teams as an Online Learning tool, I have made some adjustments into how I would like Teams to be used. Firstly, I don’t want to see any work submitted on Teams, I would like all work to be submitted on OneNote. My current vision is for Teams to be used for 3 things. The first is to be a place to access the work that is required. This can be done through t...
