Term 4, Week 3

Good afternoon and welcome to week 3!
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! It sounds like there was some pretty good basketball results over the weekend, which is awesome to hear.

Swimming Trials:
We will be completing these this Tuesday 25th October. We will be leaving school promptly at 8.45am so if you can please make sure that your child is on time on this day.
Students are to wear their sports uniform.

Your child will need to bring the following:
  • Bathers - worn underneath their sports uniform with plenty of sunscreen already applied.
  • Rashie - This is not optional - all students MUST wear a rashie as we will be swimming in the outside pool. If your child doesn't bring their rashie on Tuesday, they will need to swim in their sports short which makes life difficult for when they get back to school.
  • Towel
  • Goggles
  • Thongs - to be worn to and from the pool
  • School Hat
  • Recess and plenty of Water - We will be back in time for a later recess but please factor in that your child may be a little hungrier than usual after a big day!
Grandparents Day:
We are so excited to have this beautiful event happening on Friday 28th October.

Grandparents are invited to attend afternoon tea beginning at 1.30pm in the hall, they will then move into the children's classrooms to spend some time looking at what they have ben up to and enjoying the learning space.

All grandparents are then invited to attend our special Grandparent's Assembly being present by 5R beginning at 2.30pm.

World Teacher's Day:
We will also be celebrating World Teacher's Day on Friday which is a special day for all teachers who have answered the call to join this highly rewarding vocation.

Week 9 - Home Learning Information/Support

Image
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...
