Term 1, Week 5
Welcome to week 5.
I hope everyone survived the windy weekend. What an awesome day Sunday was.
I played cricket for DCC B grade and we won so into the GF in a couple of
weeks. Yeww.
Ash Wednesday:
On Wednesday as a group we will
be celebrating a class liturgy in which we mark the start of Lent.
Students will have ashes sprinkled on
the top of their heads rather than a cross placed on their forehead.
Character
Strength of the week
Fairness. This is a great prompt for the dinner
table, ask your child for times when they say fairness in action, either in
themselves or others. Fairness is treating people justly, not letting
your personal feelings bias your decisions about others.
You want to give everyone a fair chance, and
believe there should be equal opportunity for all, though you also realize that
what is fair for one person might not be fair for another.
Fairness is a cognitive judgment capacity that
involves reasoning and making judgments. It involves 2 types of reasoning:
- Justice reasoning which emphasizes logic and weighing principles to
determine moral rights and responsibilities.
- Care reasoning which includes empathy and compassion; the ability to put yourself in somebody else's shoes.
If you
still need to send this to your child, please email it to them directly. If you
open their Mail App, will see their email address that you can use to send it
to them directly.
Merit Award:
Congratulations
to Avya and Jobe for receiving a merit award this week. Well done peeps!
Homework:
Last week was a tough one...I had multiple students
that had not completed all or any of their homework, additionally reading
logs on One Note had not been filled in or commented upon. Please
ensure this is a positive comment that supports your child's enjoyment in
reading.
We would like to avoid having to print a hard copy of a reading log, but if this is not filled in we may do so.
If anyone is struggle to do this, could they please let me know and I will get in touch to help sort it out.
