Term 3, Week 4

 Welcome to week 4 everyone,

Great win by the Eagles yesterday, the Blues were up and about but just fell short. Dockers tonight, what a way to start the week with footy on a Monday night!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and stayed dry! I went to a 40th on Saturday night, I am wayyyyyyy to young to be going to those!!


Merit Award: Congratulations to Elsie for receiving a merit award last week for the work she has been putting into maths this term. Well done Elsie.


Confirmation: Please keep the students from the Year Six class that are receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation on Saturday night in your thoughts.

Parent Night: Due to Covid-19, the parent open night evening scheduled for Week 6 has been cancelled.

Music Folders: We had music today and SEVEN students didn't have their music files. Could you please check with your child that they have theirs ready to go on a Monday.

Throws and Jumps: These will be completed during our sports lessons over the next two weeks. If possible, it would be great if your child could wear their faction t-shirt on Wednesday please.


Maths Test:

Time – We have moved this to this Friday 15th August to give the students a little more time to work on calculating elapsed time and review their time telling skills!

 

OUR LEARNING

Numeracy: We have been working hard during our maths sessions and have been having fun playing Time Detectives to solve some different real life problems. As mentioned above we will be having our assessment this week which will be looking at students being able to:

  • Tell time - what time is being shown on an analogue or digital clock, including being able to identify am and pm time.
  • Represent time - draw hands on a clock to show a given time
  • Time Facts - how many seconds/minutes/hours/days/month etc. in a given time.
  • Calculate elapsed time - how much time has passed and then being able to represent this in hours and minutes etc.

Literacy:Our persuasive writing unit continues and have looked at hamburgers representing the structure and OREO’s representing the paragraph structure. Below is a photo to help this understanding haha.

Good afternoon and welcome to week 7, The DCC B Grade boys had a great win on the weekend and took home the flag! It was fantastic that the next day I was privileged to go to the Eucharist Commitment mass, which was a lovely ceremony. Eucharist Commitment Mass: Thank you to all who attended on Sunday morning. It was a beautiful ceremony and Father Ian was awesome with all the students. Eucharist Mass: Saturday 26 th March: We will be celebrating this on Saturday 26th March with mass beginning at  6:00pm . Those students that are making their First Eucharist are asked to wear white or a light coloured shirt and come dressed in their Sunday best. Due to Covid restrictions, we are asking all families to restrict their numbers to 10 family members only, including the candidate. Merit Award/Star Citizen: Congratulations to Lexi lambert and Patch O’Brien for receiving a Merit award and Star Citizen respectively. Love seeing people rewarded for the hard work. Well done guys.

Welcome to week 2! Massive weekend just gone! You know what I am referring to Rob Blechynden! The Dockers PUMPING the terrible Kangaroos. Robbies team didn’t go to well either. Wheelie, Walkie, Waste Free Wednesday: I f possible, please send your child to school with a waste free lunch tomorrow and each Wednesday for the rest of the term. It's a great initiative that instills sustainable behaviours in all of us. Another great way to get behind this initiative, is to walk or ride to school. If you are too far from school, walking from the church may be a way for you to partake.  Laptops: It is super important that these are coming to school with sufficient charge to last the day. Tuesday to Friday during our Reading Groups the students must have access to their laptops as all of their activities are undertaken on their laptops, not to mention the times during other lessons where they are required. Eucharist Dates : These were included on our Homework Grid last week. If your chil

Good evening everyone!! Who’s pumped?!?!? I know I am! I hope that everyone had an excellent break. I went up to Coral Bay for the first time. Can’t believe that I haven’t been there before! Such a wicked place. Taste of SMMC : Just a reminder that all Year 4 students will be heading off on Friday to experience some of the delights of SMMC. If your child has not returned their permission slip and you need another copy, please let me know and I will send one home with your child on Monday. Stationery: If you can please take a moment to remind your child to clean out their pencil cases and check if they are missing anything. Laptops: Please also remind your child to pop them on charge ready for tomorrow and we will need them everyday.  Summer Uniform : Not that it feels like it but we are back in summer uniform as of Monday. There is a two week swap over period so long pants are still welcome as the weather is still cool! Hats: Please make sure that  your child has a hat that stays in th
