Kaya and Welcome to Week 2 of Term 1

 Kaya Everyone, 

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are feeling refreshed for an awesome week. 

Just a few important notices for this week: 

Homework 

  • There is no homework to complete this week as we are currently reviewing the homework policy for the year. You will be updated on this for next week. 
  • If you could please encourage your child to do some quiet reading each night for somewhere between 10-20 minutes that would be fantastic. 
Swimming Lessons 
  • Please make sure your child has their name on everything they need for swimming. This makes the changing process when we get back a whole lot smoother. 
  • Students should be coming to school with their rashies and bathers underneath their uniform as our session is before recess. 
  • As a reminder, I highly recommend the students pack thongs or sandals for swimming as sneakers take a lot of time to take off and put back on whilst at lessons. 
Character Strength This Week: BRAVERY
  • To be brave requires us to face challenges with a positive attitude and believe in ourselves. 
  • Bravery is saying no when you need to. It's saying no to the wrong things so that you can say yes to the right things. 
  • Bravery is in all heroes, visible or invisible. 
  • Have a chat at home together, What brave thing did you achieve today? How might you be brave tomorrow? 

Have a fantastic week and I wish you all the very best. God Bless. 

-Miss Rees

Operation Christmas Child / Home Learning

  Hi team, Just a quick blog post regarding 'Operation Christmas Child' and 'Home Learning'. OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD You would have received a handout last week explaining the following: All the children in Year Five will soon  participate in  'Operation Christmas Child' which is an initiative with the goal of packing shoeboxes full of little surprises to give to a child who may have never received a gift before. By participating in this, our children will have a first hand experience aimed at building the school value of compassion.  Your child will be grouped with four other children to contribute and pack the shoe box. The cost to send a shoe box will be  $2.50 per child .  We are asking you to encourage your child to do something extra at home to earn the money that is needed to buy the item to put into the provided shoe box. Please see below an example of the provided shoe box for Operation Christmas child: It is very exciting for the children to sha...

Sugar Overload

Kaya Parents, Sorry to bust in on your weekend... I would like your support with our Sugar Overload project. Please assist your child with going through some pantry items or take them along to Coles on your next shop, so they can read the nutritional panel on packages and record the amount of sugar per 100g serve of the product.   I would like just the data collection done and ready to go by Monday morning. . . handwritten on note paper is fine, the children can tabulate on Word during class time. Full details on OneNote            That's all for now ... over and out! Anne Coltrinari
