Week 6

Good afternoon parents

Hopefully you enjoyed a restful and refreshing weekend.  

This week we are writing our hot task narratives to show all the work we have been putting in to learning this text type.  We will then be moving on to persuasive writing.  

Homework
Homework books came home with the usual spelling, maths and reading.  This weeks mental strategy is the double, double strategy.  If your child is struggling with this strategy, the attached video may assist (double, double strategy)

Reminders

Swimming
This week we travelling to the pool in Busselton for swimming lessons.  We will leave school at about 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 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 and return home wearing their sneakers, not thongs.

Wheels after meals

This initiative will kick off again tomorrow.  If your child would like to, they can bring a scooter, skateboard or roller skates tomorrow to leave behind Mr Lee's office.  Once they have eaten their lunch, they will then be able to join others in skating up on the top carpark.  Please note that appropriate safety equipment including helmets are essential.

Parent Teacher Interviews

Parent Teacher Interviews will be held during Week 8 and 9. I will send home a schedule in the coming days for you to complete to book a time to meet.

Thanks for your ongoing support
