Term 3 Notes

Welcome back to school!
I have been very impressed with the way students have come back to school.  They are all looking relaxed, refreshed and ready to learn!  I have heard all about your holidays and know you all enjoyed the two week break - just as I did!

Bread Tags
If you are a bread eater could you please save the tags that come on packets of bread and rolls and bring them into class.  I will be collecting these to make some maths resources and we need LOTS.  I will leave a container at the front of the classroom for students to put them in.  Thank you.

 

Canteen Helpers
The canteen runs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays providing lunches for students and staff who order.  They are desperate for helpers to come in and assist in making these lunches.  If you have some time available and would like to help out please contact the school office and let them know.






Important Dates
We have another busy term upon us.  Here is a list of important dates for you to remember.  There may be other things that arise during the term and I will post information here on those things.

22 & 23 July     - School Photos
24 July              - Senior Assembly
28 July              - ICAS English Testing for those who paid
7 August           - Senior Assembly and Lapathon
11 August         - ICAS Maths Testing for those who paid
21 August        - Science Tabloid (parent helpers needed - I will ask closer to the date)
27 August        - Student Fete
28 August        - Senior Assembly
1 September   - Wattle Day
4 September   - Faction Carnival
25 September - Senior Assembly, Last day of Term 3

Just a reminder that if your child is receiving a certificate at Senior Assembly I will call you to let you know.  I don't tell the students as I like it to be a surprise for them.

Homework
This week's homework is Spelling words, Word Problem Wednesday and Reading.  There is no extra sheet or Talk Homework this week.  There will be a few weeks during the term where we will be doing a Cold Write - this is where students don't get the writing prompt the day before to discuss at home.  When students do bring home their Talk Homework please take time to discuss this with them.  There are prompt questions on the sheet that you can talk through.  In Week 2 students will begin working on a Report and over these weeks there will be no talk homework.

Looking forward to another fabulous Term.
