Week 5

Good afternoon parents
Hopefully you enjoyed a restful and refreshing long weekend.  You may be like me and asking yourself "Where did that go?"
In class today we were learning about the use of quotation marks (or speech marks) in narrative writing.  We also learned about why we have our seasons in different months to the northern hemisphere.

Homework
Homework books were set up today with grids, spelling words and this week's mental math concept practice sheets.  We learned and practiced the concept today and I will run through it again throughout the week.  Please ensure you are checking your child's homework daily and sign their homework grid ready for Friday.


Reminders


Crazy Hair Day

This friday is crazy hair day.  A gold coin donation is required, but the good news is that all funds raised go to support the local community and school affected by the recent bushfires on the east coast of Australia. 

Library
Our library day is now Thursday.  Please assist your child by working with them to ensure they remember their library bag on Thursday.

Swimming
Next week we will be travelling to the pool in Busselton for swimming lessons.  We will leave school at 9:30 and return around 1 as we will be having double lessons with a break in between.  As such please ensure that you child has a packed recess and crunch-n-sip next week as we will need to take these with us to the pool.


Please take the time to check that your child has what they need and that it is all clearly labelled;
  • bathers
  • towel
  • goggles
  • change of underwear
  • thongs to were on the bus and to the pool
  • Rashie
  • Sports Uniform
Please include underwear in this as there is always a pair left over that belongs to no one!

Your child can wear their bathers underneath their sports uniform if they are comfortable but we will also give time for them to get changed.

Please note - your child must come to school wearing their sneakers, not thongs.
