Week 5

Good afternoon and welcome to week 5 This week we will continue to work on persuasive writing, having written our first one for the year based on one that we shared.  Tomorrow we will start a new persuasive text on a topic we choose and showing what we have learned this terms. In science we learned about the tree ways that heat moves and attempted an experiment with tea bags to show convection.  Unfortunately the experiment didn't work as planned, but we watched the following video that showed the experiment and will try again tomorrow.  This may be one to try at home under strict adult supervision. Reminders Pick up and Drop Off As you will be aware visitors, including parents are not permitted on school grounds. As such, we appreciate your patience in waiting and adherence to the rules that have been worked out with pick up and drop off...we are all doing our best to get the children to their cars as quickly and as safely as possible. Students are being released at 2

Week 4

Good morning and welcome to Week 4 Firstly, thank you to everyone for all the support provided over the past few weeks, be it the support you have provided to your children at home or the kind words I have received.  We are now almost all back in the class with our  routines back to normal.  Thank you to those who were able to bring Ipads into school over the past few weeks, it has been very helpful.  We no longer require these being brought to school but I encourage you to keep them signed into seesaw at home as children are bring asked to complete their art photography assignments at home. This week we will be continuing with our persuasive writing and moving to using the formal algorithm for subtracting numbers. Drop off and Pick ups Unfortunately we still have been directed by the Western Australian Government that parents are not allowed on school ground. As directed by Admin via text last week, all parents must ONLY use pick up lane on Cape Naturaliste Drive (top car park) or v

Welcome to week 3, already! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and that Mothers were suitably spoilt! Please find attached the online learning schedule for those children learning from home.  Please remember I am available for any extra support you may need via email or the school phone. I will also send an email with the collated worksheets for those working from home, should you wish to print these for use. As Mr Lee advised last week, with the increasing number of students we are transitioning to face to face learning.  As such the learning schedule has been modified slightly, but links are provided to access the worksheets, video's and learning tasks. For those returning to class this week, please make sure you bring your home learning books to school. As you may be aware, students are completing a media arts unit this term where we learning about skills that can help us with photography.  I have developed the unit so that on Friday's we learn a new skill or tec

Week 2

Dear Parents,  Welcome to week 2.  Hopefully you were able to get out and about this weekend with the magnificent weather we had! Thank you for all your effort, support and hard work last week with your child's learning, I have seen some amazing work coming back through seesaw. It has been a very interesting start to Term 2 but everyone has been working amazingly, especially when you consider all the changes we have made over the past few weeks and not just in our learning.  The children have become very independent with their learning and the challenging situation of getting themselves to and from the classroom.   Week 2 will continue in the same way for your child. If your child is returning to school can you please ensure that they bring everything back to school that they took home especially their pencil case, recorder, reading book, homework book.  Also, if your child has an iPad that they have access to and can bring into class for use, I would very much appreciate if y
