Term 3, Weeks 9 & 10

 

Dear parents,

I hope you have all had a restful weekend! It is hard to believe that there is only two weeks of Term 3 left! 

Open Classroom Afternoon (this week)

Classroom open afternoon on Wednesday 13 of September from 3:15 – 5:00pm.  Your child's writing books, InitiaLit books and art folio will be on their desks. If you are available, please drop in for a look. I will have award stickers available for you to select two with your child and stick to their favourite pieces of work. This can be work that is on display or in a workbook.

Sports Carnival (this week)
The sports carnival is taking place on Friday 15th of September at 9:15am. Please send your child to school in their sports uniform with their faction shirt on. 

Parents are invited to attend and there is a sausage sizzle available on the day. Please order through the canteen system.

You are welcome to take your child home with you at the conclusion of the day, please make sure you see me to sign out your child. If your child will be going home with a friend, please advise me via email (maree.noonan@cewa.edu.au).

Homework

Below are our Fluency grids, spelling lists and focus sounds for weeks 9 and 10.

 


 


Our sounds this week are silent 'b', silent 'k' and two extra tricky words. Have a look at the posters below for the rule of when to use these sounds:

Important dates for Term 3

Friday 15th September - OLC Athletics Carnival

Monday 18th September - Veggie stall before school (Week 10)

Book Week Dress Up Week 10 – Fri 22 September & Last Day of Term 3 

Character Strength for this week is: TEAM WORK

St Maximillian Kolbe was a Polish Priest, who during World War II, published works speaking out against the Nazi’s. He was imprisoned and sent to Auschwitz where he continued to work with others to help and support those around him and to provide solace. He volunteered his life to save another. 

•          Do you like to work with others?

•          Are you at your best when working with others?

 


 Wishing everyone a great week.

Mrs Maree Noonan
