Term 2, Week 4


Welcome everyone to week 4!

Firstly, I would just like to welcome everyone back to school! Finally the day has a arrived that we are officially back! I can’t wait to have everyone back ready to go! Hopefully there is no relapse and we can get back to normality as soon as possible.

Secondly, I hope everyone survives the first couple of weeks of Dunsborough being inundated with tourists.

Finally, I just wanted to say a big thank you and well done to all of you for the last months. Having students return with completed work that had ether been printed out or handwritten in books was amazing! The time and effort you have put into your students learning is credit to you and has made my life a lot easier.

Returning to school:
When returning to school this week please make sure that your child has all books that took home as well, as all the equipment and stationery that they may have taking home to use.
Also could any completed home learning work please be brought in.

Our Learning:
This week in class we will continue working on information reports in writing. In spelling our focus sound is ‘g’ or ‘gg’. We have just finish our mental and written strategies for addition and subtraction in maths and this week we will start to focus on written strategies for multiplication and division. Our focus and in reading in activating prior knowledge.

Week 3 Learning:
Last week in design technology and STEM last week we made a ‘Flick Flack’ as well as marble holder that had to attach to a zipline. With exceptional structure and balance, one marble holder held 79 marbles!!
Both lessons created a lot of great discussion and thoughtful thinking. Below are some photos from these lessons.

Welcome to week 9. The first thing that I would like to say is a massive thank you to everyone for all the support that I have received in the last couple of weeks. 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...
