5L Blog Post Term 1 Week 9

Kaya 5L parents,  It is week 9 & feeling fine!  As some of you are aware I am a mad North Melbourne supporter and am in a VERY good mood after last night. See the picture below of how I feel about it all: For those who would like to sign up for a membership at North Melbourne please visit the link  https://membership.nmfc.com.au/ Your child will receive straight A's if this occurs. A win, win for both 😊 Ok enough of that, it has just been a very long time since NM has won in the west against Freo.  Quote of the week:  This week I thought a bit of a reflection was needed rather than a quote. Sometimes it is the moments in life that we cannot believe or understand but just knowing that God is by our side makes it all better.  Important Dates & Information:  I  Looking forward to meeting with you all this week 😀 Please note that the Parent Teacher Interviews are based on a 12-15 minute time restraint. All meetings are back to back...

Kaya 5L Parents,  I am living for this 4 day working week! I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend. I certainly did as I got to spend time with my family who were down from Perth. There are a few lucky duckies who have had a extra extra long weekend... Eva and Betty, we miss you & hope you have had a wonderful holiday!  It is been very busy in 5L in the past few weeks. I must say that we are really enjoying working with the lights dimmed and with soft focus music playing in the background.  We are in the middle of writing our Narratives and have had the traumatic experience of learning long multiplication.... welcome to Year 5 maths. Please keep an eye out for some of our work on Seesaw in the next half of the Term. In Year 5, it takes us a little longer to complete things because we take pride in what we do and well, the concepts/content is a step up from our previous primary years.  Quote of the week:  IMPORTANT DATES ( more information can be found o...

Kaya 5L parents,  Happy Week 2!  We are off to a flying start but can see by the end of the week that swimming would of taken it's toll. I am enjoying getting to know the kids and developing our Year 5L team. I look forward to meeting more of you and chatting about life ... oh and your child. It is a pleasure to be seeing so many familiar faces around.  For those who know me, I keep things very simple.  My one wish for the year is to convert at least one student into a North Melbourne supporter (During the months of March to September, my main focus is AFL followed by a close second of teaching). If I have taught your child in Year 3, you'd know that this is an ongoing goal and I am yet to succeed.  As much as I enjoy a laugh and joke, we are to always uphold the values of Respect and Honesty. The students are aware of my very simple but important values.  Stationery Thank you for all your labelled and great stationery. There are some students who do not ha...
