Week 3

Good afternoon and welcome to week 3.  It was great to see Mr Lee dropping in late last week for a few hours, the kids were very excited.

Congratulations to all those students who were selected to represent the school at the interschool cross country carnival last Thursday. Mr T was super impressed with the attitude and effort of all the students who attended.

Thank you to all who were able to attend our commitment mass last Friday.  Mrs Meyer and I were so impressed with how the children conducted themselves in Mass!  

Reconciliation Workshop - Tomorrow afternoon is our workshop for those students who will be receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation this year. The workshop will begin at 5:30pm in the Hall and includes activities that involve you and your child working together on a number of small activities.  Attendance at this meeting is compulsory for those students that are receiving this Sacrament. If you and your child are unable to attend, you will need to make an appointment with Fr Ian to go through the program.  If your child is not receiving the Sacrament, you and your child are more than welcome to join us.  Please let me know if you will be attending for catering and logistical purposes.

HomeworkHomework this week includes the homework grid, reading, mental maths and a spelling list with the focus sound that we are learning. 

RemindersBefore school Drop OffAt this point, we have been directed that restrictions of adults in the class will continue until instructed otherwise so Kiss and Drop will still remain. As school begins at 8.40 am, if your child arrives after this time, you will have to sign them in at the office. Further, in line with this, assemblies are still on hold, but I will provide as much notice as possible as to when they return.

I hope that you all had a great weekend.  Stop Motion In art this term we are learning about and creating stop motion movies.  Students have created story boards outlining what they intend filming and as such know what characters they will need.  Please support your child to remember the characters they will need to commence filming this Wednesday. Students may like to bring small figures such as lego to represent the characters of their movies. Pupil Free day: A reminder that there is a pupil free day on Friday 12 November.
