Term 4 Week 3

 


Kaya Parents, 

Yep, it's a bit like that already... a three ring circus! We are busy in 5C. 
The year fives have started the term strong with impressive results in their PAT assessments. So proud!

Here's what's going on ...



School Photo Day

Fotomakers WA will visit Our Lady of the Cape Primary School on the 26th of October, 2023. All orders will need to be placed online. There is no option to pay with cash. Every student has received an information letter to take home. The information letter gives the students a unique access key for ordering online and clear instructions for ordering your photos. Note that all students from Y1 – Y6 should wear full formal uniforms on Thursday. This includes shorts for boys, shorts or summer dresses for girls and winter green woollen formal jumpers for all students in those years. Hair accessories must be in school colours only (teal green, white or black).


Grandparents Day:

We will celebrate Grandparents Day on Friday, the 3rd of November (Week 4), so please make sure that your child has taken the time to invite their grandparents along if possible.
We will start at 9.00am with a 1K assembly. 
Grandparents can then go into classrooms for activities from 9.30-10.40am and to look at their grandchild's work. 
At 10:40am, they will have an opportunity to share morning tea with their grandchildren in the undercover area.

Mission Markets / Various

Image
Hey everybody! Just a quick post in regards to the Feast of the Assumption of Mary Mission Markets for 2023 held this Friday 04 August. This year the Year Five classes will be running a 'Hair Spray and Finger Nails' Market Stall to help raise money on the day. We are asking that all of the boys bring in a can of coloured hair spray and all girls bring in a bottle of nail polish. If you have any bottles of hair spray / nail polish  that you no longer use and would like to send them in, that is fine. If you need to purchase coloured hairspray, it is available at the newsagent and Coles. There is also an option for the girls to purchase some finger nail stickers from Kmart as an alternative to nail polish. Please send this in before Friday. There will also be a Basketball Madness stall running alongside this, but we have all the resources we need to run this. On Friday please send in some coins (if possible), in a ziploc bag with your child's name, so that they can participate

Term 3 Week 8

  Kaya Parents, How did we get to Week 8 so fast? Here is some info on current happenings in the classroom and at school. BOOK CLUB / Novel Study Book Club will begin next week, with all students receiving a new novel to read for the next 5 weeks.  Every Monday morning, each child will receive a weekly schedule via One Note - Literacy Group Folder.  It would be great if you could have a look at the schedule each week and have your child explain to you what they are required to do to be ready for the 'Book Club Meeting' on Friday morning. As part of their weekly reading log for the next 5 weeks , your child will have to read aloud to a member of the family to have one of the diary logs signed off on (I appreciate your support with this). This would be a great opportunity to have your child give a brief summary (retell the main events) on what has been happening in the story so far. Below are the different roles that your child will focus on over the next 5 weeks. Please note, th

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
