Learning Jouneys

A big thank you to all the parent that attended the Year One Learning Journeys this week.  The children were both excited and proud to share their work with you all and feedback from parents proved to be a wonderful afternoon of learning!

The children participated in a variety of Literacy and  Numeracy games as well as some wonderful spelling applications and smart board math games. A favourite game was definitely the sight word slap!

The gallery walk around the class was a great way for the children to reflect on their learning and the portfolio of work created some beautiful one on one time between parents and children. I felt so lucky to be in a room with very supportive and loving parents!

Thank you to all who came this week and a special thank you for filling out the parent reflection sheets - was lovely to read such positive and reassuring comments!

This is just a quick reminder that Learning Jouneys will be taking place tomorrow after school starting from 3.30pm. Thank you to all those people that have our there name down to come along and share this special time with your child. 

There were still a couple of families that haven't put there name down and have not come to see me to arrange another time so if you have not done so, please put your name down tomorrow morning so not to miss out! 

One more week to go!

A note went home yesterday afternoon to indicate what your child must wear for our assembly on Friday the 25th of September. Please find a copy of the note in the link below in case it went walking

Mission Markets and Footy Mission Day

Mission markets have been moved to the last Friday of term which conveniently is the same day as our assembly. With both of these wonderful events happening after the assembly, if the children would like to bring their favourite footy guernsey (of course the DOCKERS!) or wear their favourite team colours for a gold coin donation, that would be a wonderful way to end our term.

All the money raised will go towards the Syrian crisis  which I think is a very deserving cause.

Thank you for your ongoing support throughout this term - so far it has been a big one!

Learning Journeys - Monday 21st September

Good Evening parents,

Learning Journeys will be occurring on Monday 21st September from 3.30pm - 5.20pm. The Year One Learning Journeys will provide you with a snap shot of what your child has been learning about so far this term. This is an opportunity for your child to show you some of their work over the past year in their portfolios and enjoy some of their favourite games and activities we play in our Literacy and Math dedicated time.

There are four time slots and each time slot will run for 20 minutes starting from 3.30pm. Up to eight families will be available per time slot to allow time to really engage with you child and spend some quality time... learning from them! A roster will be available outside the classroom from Monday afternoon. If you are unable to make it on the Monday 21st September, please let me know via email.

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

Mission Market - Year One Popcorn stall!

Good evening parents,

The mission markets will be held in Week 10 -  Friday 25th September and is a whole school initiative to raise money for the missions.

This year for the markets, the Year One students will be looking after the popcorn stall.

We would really appreciate a donation of a bag of popcorn kernels from each child to make our popcorn stall a success! If you could bring these by Friday next week (18th Sept), that would be fantastic!

Another big ask...I would love two or three volunteers to help pop the popcorn on the Friday morning of the mission markets. As we don't have Mrs. Keast and Mrs. Rann on this day, any help would a very much appreciated. We have a popcorn maker at school but if you had one to bring in that would make the popping process a lot quicker :)

Shoe Boxes

If you have not already, could you please bring in your donations tomorrow as we will begin to construct our shoe boxes to send overseas. The children will have a chance to write a letter and include a photo of themselves which will be included in the shoe box.

Have a lovely night and see you tomorrow.
