Dear Parents, We hope you had a wonderful Easter and holiday break. Wadandi Totems  🌨💧🍂🍁 We are now in the season of Djeran - This is when the weather starts to get cooler and the leaves turn orange and fall off the trees. We are very lucky that Josh Whiteland from Koomal Dreaming has approved every classroom with a native flora and fauna and their traditional Noongar name. This term, we will be spending some time learning about the significance of these. Please see below for the Wadandi Totems assigned to 4L.   Plant  Wadandi Name  Animal Wadandi Name  4L Dianella Mangard Butterfly Kalbernuda Homework The Year Four Homework book will go home this week and Week 1 and Week 2 need to be completed and returned by Friday of Week 2.

Eucharist Mass Sunday We look forward to celebrating this important Sacrament with our candidates. Please arrive at 8:15am ready for the 8:30am mass. It would be lovely to have as many prayer buddies as possible to join us for the mass. Parent Interviews Day Friday 22nd March An email was sent to all parents from Kindy to Year 6 with a link to our booking system for our first interview day.  There are still some spots left for parents I have not met with yet this term and we request those parents who have not booked in yet or contacted me via email to please choose a session time.  The meetings will only be for 10 minutes but they are a great opportunity to check in with me to see how they are going, their current learning achievements and goals and learning/work habits this year so far.  Please email me if you feel you would like to discuss more comple

Term 1, Week 5

  Welcome to Week 5! Thank you to the parents that came to the Cybersafety information session last week with Nola Marino - it was very informative on the internet and cyber world our children are living in and what we can do to help them use it safely. This week's big events for our class is the Eucharist workshop on today, Tuesday 27th February from 5 - 6pm and the middle/upper school faction swimming carnival on Friday. We can also enjoy a lovely long weekend after that on Monday!  A few reminders for the week: Parent Child Eucharist Workshop Today, Tuesday evening, all Eucharist candidates are asked to come to the hall for the Parent-Child workshop from 5 - 6pm.  This will be lead in a similar style to the workshop that you participated in for Reconciliation last year.  Just bring yourselves and no preparation needed.  Please email amie.meyer@cewa.edu.au if you are not able to attend this workshop of if you did not attend the Commitment mass last Saturday at the church.    Frid

  Kaya to all parents of 4L! What an exciting first week of school we have had! We are very proud of our 4L team members and the way in which they have navigated settling into our new school year and the added business with swimming lessons. How lucky we are to be spending our school time down at the beach in incredible conditions. Please settle in for another long blog post! There is so much beginning of the year information at the moment but it will ease off once we are all settled in and future ones will be brief and fortnightly.   Week 1 Learning The first week was all about getting to know each other and feeling comfortable in our new Year 4 space.  While swimming seems to be a decent part of our day, it has been a great opportunity to ease into class expectations and develop our classroom expectations. We have learnt some awesome maths games to develop our place value knowledge. You could ask your child to challenge you in a game of 101 and Out!   Week 2 & 3 Learn
