Term 2, Week 2

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:
If 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 child is making their First Eucharist and you know that you will be away for either the parent workshop or the sacrament, please get in touch immediately.

This date will not be changed to accommodate, but you can then coordinate as a parent group a time with Fr Francis that the students can possibly receive the sacrament together.

• 25th May at 5.30pm - Eucharist Parent Workshop - All students receiving the sacrament are expected to attend with at least 1 parent/guardian. This is an interactive workshop and it is a great opportunity to spend some time with your child learning about this important sacrament for your child's faith journey. Prayer buddies are not expected to attend.

• 12th June at 6pm - Commitment & Year 4 Family Mass - All Year 4 students and their families are expected to attend. (Please note the change in date)

• 27th June at 9am - Sacrament of First Eucharist - This is where the students will receive the  sacrament. All Year 4 families are expected to attend.

Homework:

You may have noticed the slight change to homework set up last week...now that the students are familiar with the procedure we have moved them away from more paper!

On a Monday, we will give the students the new words for the week, they are then asked to show them to me so that I can check that they have copied them down correctly.

As always, I ask for your support in their work being completed neatly and to a high standard. They should be writing sentences that are reflective of a year 4 standard. Please make sure that you have marked their LCWC as well.

Also, please make sure that they are filling in their homework grid - either colouring the box or writing it in and that they are bringing it to you to be signed.

They are expected to:

• Complete a LCWC each night (except for Monday)
• Complete their Times Tables - they can work out the best way to do this...all in one go, a few questions each night...whatever works!
• Sentences - 5 good ones with correct punctuation. 
• 4 boxes - these are a mix of activities that cover different interests and need to be coloured or written in.

Please make sure they are bring them to you to get signed.
