Welcome to a Swimmingly Sensational Week Six!

Good afternoon parents, 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and got to enjoy some of that lovely Autumn sunshine! I was lucky enough to head down to Eagle bay for a glorious swim on Sunday. How lucky are we to live in this part of the world?!




Just a few messages this week...

Swimming

As you know we have started our swimming lessons. The children have loved being in the pool and listening to the teachers teach them all the fun things like bubble breathing, frog kick and survival backstroke. I can safely say we will have some wonderful swimmers in our class this year! Have a look at some photos below of some of our super swimmers!







Just a quick reminder, if you could PLEASE PACK THONGS in your child's swimming bag to wear.  We would be greatly appreciative as it can be difficult getting 40 children onto the bus while having to try and find socks and tie up shoe laces at the pool. 

Week Five Star Citizen 

Congratulations to Maxwell who was the Star Citizen for Compassion. We are so proud of you Maxwell!



Meals after Wheels

This will be held on Monday 16th of March. Children are encouraged to bring along their roller blades, skateboards or scooters (no bikes) and the appropriate protective gear. Please be aware that if they do not have their helmet, they will not be able to participate in this wonderful initiative. 


Voting at OLC

Please come down to OLC this Saturday the 13th between 8.00 am-2.30 pm to support the Year 1 and 6 cake stall fundraiser and vote for your local Member of Parliament. 



Homework

A new homework grid has been glued into your child's homework book. Everyone gets 10 out of 10 for getting ALL the homework books to school on Friday!

Our Learning

We have loved learning about addition these past few weeks, in particular missing addends. The children have loved being number detectives and finding the missing number. Have a look at some of the pictures of these Math super stars below!







A way we have been teaching the children to find the missing addend is to count up to the target number. Have a look at the video below which shows the strategy that we are learning at school (please excuse the shaky video and English accent!). 


I hope you have a lovely night and I will see you bright and early tomorrow!

Mrs. Wendelin

 Good afternoon Parents, I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend and managed to get some rest after the massive week we had last week with the athletics carnival. I had a beautiful brunch at Meelup Farmhouse on Friday with some of the other teachers from school.  Just a few notices for the week ahead... Athletics Carnival Congratulations to  Leeuwin  on winning the Sports Carnival last Wednesday, a fine speech by our captains Cooper and Paige.  The students again showed such great enthusiasm and sportsmanship on the day and gave it their all for every game or race they participated in! What a great way to finish week 6! Open Night A big thank you to all the families who came to our open night last week (we know it was a long day after the sports carnival, so we really appreciate it).

Week 2...Yahoo!

Dear parents,  I hope you have had a great start to your week and have enjoyed hearing about our swimming adventures over the past week and a half. We have loved being down by the bay despite the cooler weather, the water has been like glass! Have a look at some of the pictures from our lessons below... Just a few messages this week... Parents in the classroom: Sadly at this stage parents are no longer able to enter into the classroom in the mornings during gathering time.  As per the government information for schools, parents must also wear face masks at school even when outside. Unfortunately, this also extends to parent teacher interviews so therefore our main port of call will be via email. Please see the previous blog post if you do not have my email address. Parent Information Night: Due to COVID requirements there will not be a parent information night this year. We will pass on the required information in another form and more information will be coming out next week....
