Welcome to week Two

Good afternoon parents,

We had a great first week of Term 3 and have already learnt so much. It was lovely to hear of the many adventures you all seemed to get up to on the holidays. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and got to spend some time outdoors before the rain sets in for the week again 🌧☔⛈😥

Just a few reminders for Week 2...

Assembly
Please find below some updated information about our upcoming assembly that is taking place on Friday 6th of August from 2:15pm.

Your child was sent home today or yesterday with a hard copy of their reading part. It would be greatly appreciated, if you could practise this with your child and reinforce them speaking clearly and with expression. 

I have attached a link if your child would like to practise our assembly song at home.



Please find below an updated copy of the assembly script.






Air Guitars/Toy guitars 🎸
We ask that if you have any inflatable guitars or toy guitars if we could please borrow them for our assembly next Friday. If you have them, could you please bring them in as soon as possible so we can pratise using them as props. 


Seesaw
Your child will bring home an invitation this week to connect with the 2W classroom via the Seesaw App. Please follow the prompts carefully to set your account. This will involve downloading the app and scanning the QR code for families to access their child's individual learning journal.  I also highly recommend you click 'yes' to the notifications prompt as then you will be sent a reminder each time there is something new uploaded.  We are hoping to try to share something at least each week or fortnight to show the great learning that is happening in our classrooms. 

Seesaw is an App that I'm sure many of you are already familiar with from our stint with online learning last year but basically it is a platform that allows you to see some of the great work that your child is doing in the classroom. Please make sure that it is the Seesaw family app, not the Seesaw Class App.  

Please note that this will be used purely as a means for you to keep up to date with your child's learning. Any communication with myself will stay as per usual.


Homework 📚
Homework is due this Friday 30th of July. If your child is not going to be at school please ensure that they bring in their RED Reading folder and their homework book on Thursday. This enables us to check over their work and glue in the next fortnights homework. 

Canteen 
Just a reminder that canteen will commence this week on Tuesdays and Thursday's ONLY.

 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....
