Term 3, Week 8

Welcome to week 8,
I hope every dad had a great day yesterday and didn’t get blown away by the wind and rain.


Merit Awards: 
Congrats to Hamish and Joel who have received a merit award in class over the last couple of weeks. Well done Lads! Sorry about the lighting Joely.


School Photos:
These are on this week on Thursday and Friday. Can’t wait to see everyone looking their best. I will be……as always haha.

Walkie, Wheelie, Waste Free Wednesday:
We had a fantastic turn out last week, and it is such an awesome initiative. We are on again this week if you can assist your child with walking or wheeling and bringing a waste free lunch Thank you for your support!

Uthando Dolls:
You may have heard of this amazing initiative that we have undertaken in Year 4 the last 3 years. We are super excited to announce that we will be working on these again starting next term. This is a massive undertaking and we are in need of your help! If you are a sewer, expert child wrangler, cutter or closet fashion designer then WE NEED YOU!

Check out the link to see the amazing work that is being done!

Uthando Dolls Project 

Starting next term, each Thursday afternoon we will be working on our dolls. They come from HQ ready to go but we will need to machine sew them together before the students can start to create them. 

If any parents or grandparents are able to commit to helping each week or some weeks, we would love to have you come in. This project is impossible to undertake without parental help...Caitlin can only sew so much!

If you are able to assist (it doesn't have to be every week) please let me know!

Writing:
Our persuasive writing unit has just finished, and the students have produced some great pieces on Country Life is better than City life, All families should own a pet as well as …is the best season. This was a fantastic unit of work and the students were really engaged in the process and made sure they used the structure correctly and persuasive devices correctly. Below are some good copies that are hanging up in the room.
 
Friendology:
Last week in Friendology, we looked at the differences between ‘Mean on Purpose’ behaviours and ‘Kind on Purpose’ behaviours. We discussed why it is definitely better to be Kind on Purpose and how we can shows this purposeful behaviours through out thoughts, words and actions.
