Term 4 Week 1

 

Kaya Parents, 

Welcome back ...... I hope you and your children had a refreshing break in this glorious spring sunshine. I switched off for the first week and spent time up in Perth with extended family, and braved the Royal Show... it's not everyday that you gasp at weird looking cats, get butted by goats and eat three desserts in an hour 😃 

And what about the Maggies record-equalling sweet 16 win in the Grand Final? We got perhaps the best ever premiership decider ... it came down to the last minute, on a record hot day, with the two best teams of the season..... (ok I'll fess up, I watched the replay too .... C'arn the pies!)

Term 4, here we come! As I think about how quickly this year has gone and how close we are to the end, I can't help but reflect on how much the students have grown and matured. I am looking forward to an important term together, working hard to prepare them as best as I can for being the next school leaders.

  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
