Week 6

Dear Parents, our assembly is approaching fast so here are some further details for you. The children have either been given a part and will dress to match their character  OR are asked to come dressed as their Dad, either his occupation or his hobby. If they would prefer to just come casually then we ask them to wear jeans, t-shirt/ jumper and joggers please. The children will need to bring their sports uniform to get changed into after the assembly. Our assembly is next Friday 6th September!!! T his Friday the children will need to bring their pieces for their Stop Motion Movie that we are currently doing with 3Mc. If you discuss this with your child they will be able to explain it to you. REMINDER: Your child should be exchanging their Reading Book on a regular basis. I have noticed some children are not doing this and I have explained how important it is to them. Thank you for your  ongoing support in the classroom. Have a great week. Paula Murphy.

Term 3 Week 2

Dear Parents, the children have settled back into their routines really well after the holidays which is great to see. In Years 3 and 5 the children will be doing a Bishop's Literacy Assessment online next week. If your child comes home asking questions about the Bible or Jesus and his life that is probably why. There are some children who need to bring in their extra stationery supplies as they have run out. Could you please check with your child if you know you still have their extra stationery at home. Thank you to the parents that have volunteered to help in the classroom. It is very much appreciated. Enjoy this burst of sunshine and have a lovely week. Kind regards, Paula Murphy.

Term 2 Week 2

Dear Parents, welcome back to Term 2. The children have settled back really well and are back into routine. This term starting from tomorrow your child will be bringing home extra Spelling words which are their personal words taken from their journal writing. Please look out for these words as it is a new concept for the children. Over the next  two weeks (Week 3 and 4) on Wednesday and Thursday morning the children will be doing their NAPLAN assessments.

If you are able to keep their routines the same and we will do the same at school. Thank you to the parents that are helping in the classroom. The children have really enjoyed having you in with us.
