Holidays

Hi All,
Enjoying this gorgeous weather and Footy Finals!!!! Apologies to Monique, Grace, Daniel, Bardon and Bailey B BUT GO HAWKS!!!!! I'm going!!! Hopefully I can redecorate the school in brown and yellow since Duncan requested I don't and he will still be in Finland!!! Hawks fans have my permission to wear footy colors first day back, regardless of the result. Term 4 means hats are required so please ensure your child has their hat in their bag. About to go out for breakfast with my Dad! He is 80 today! It's Miss Kelly's birthday tomorrow!
Enjoy the holidays :-)

Last Day of Term 3

I don't believe how fast this term has gone by! Yesterday we had visits to our classroom to Endangered Animals Expo. The children were proud to present and pleased with the feedback other students and teachers gave them. We visited 4AF and 3KP and noticed that each grade had a slightly different focus on the same theme! We love diversity!Today parents are welcome to visit our room! We will be visiting 4TR, 4BB and 3JH before recess.
It is Footy Day so there should be lots of brown and yellow around the school! Fingers crossed for a victory tonight!
Regarding Footy Day Lunches, I am opposed to the drinks the canteen provides today. It is my belief they contain too much sugar and make the children hyperactive. I'm asking the children not to drink this at school but at home so you can observe any changes your child might have as a result of this drink. I have asked Duncan to have this drink removed from the canteen for the past 3 years!
I am off to enjoy a week in Darwin the first week of Term 4! Tahnee will be teaching 3WS for that week. After 21 years at the same school, I'm enjoying some Long Service Leave! I have left the planners for Tahnee to follow and will email spelling words for Week 1 later today, hopefully I remember!
Welcome to the McPhee family! Jesse has had a wonderful first week at OOPS, thanks to your gorgeous children. Thank you for your continual support and feedback. It makes my job so much easier.
Enjoy the break from school uniforms and lunches!
GO HAWKS!!!!

The Year is flying by!!!

Hi Lovely People! We have Planning Week this week. No Specialist classes for us until Friday. The Level 3 teachers are spending Friday planning for next Term. We are working on an Endangered Animal Project in cooperative groups during the afternoon sessions. This draws together our learning on this unit and we are learning heaps. Footy Day ( last day of Term) orders went out on Monday and  can be returned  by next Monday, September 16th. The children know my view on the Quench drink!!!! We are having a Scientist visit our school on Monday as part of the CSIRO Scientist in Schools program. We have been reading magazines from CSIRO, Scientriffic, which have further sparked the children's interest in science. Hope you can get to the Coffee Morning tomorrow, thanks Cherie for sending the reminder.
