This Week

Hi lovely Families,
Happy birthday to gorgeous Grace for yesterday. Thank you for the delicious honey joys. Thank also to the parents who were able to attend the 1:1 laptop program information Night on Thursday. The Expression of Interest Forms were sent home on Friday except to Freya who has been unwell.
We are performing at Assembly on Friday!!! There has been much discussion about what we should do. Some children have been working on a movie which has been great but has also caused some angst due to people being left out and negative feedback. I have spoken to the class about this and the need to speak to others as you would like to be spoken to and about empathy. Some children wanted to sing their current favourite song about a fox but several staff suggested that it's probably not the best thing to sing at a school assembly. I have come up with an idea I shall share with the children tomorrow. If you are available on Friday please come along to watch us and thank you in anticipation as to my requests!
The children are currently undertaking some online testing. These are adaptive tests and are quite long, 30 questions in English and 60 in Maths. These provide great data and are a great way to track the children's achievements. Some children completed them in year 1 and 2 but the generally start at year 3. It's not their favourite use of the laptops but is essential at this stage of the year.
Thank you for providing the children with fascinating information about their ancestry. The presentations have been up to their usual high standard and we are learning a lot about this.
Hope all go the guests at the Spring Carnival Luncheon were well behaved and Vicky's house is back to its original condition. Thank you for hosting this school event.
Production Rehearsals are in full swing, shame I can't sew or I would help out there. Thanks to Kirsty for making a sword or 50 and Cherie for her sewing. Apologies if I have omitted other helpers.
Hopefully the weather warms up during the week!  We do have school on the Monday before Cup Day, however, if you are intending on having an extra long weekend enjoy it.
Thanks again for your support. It makes my job so much easier and rewarding. I am truly loving teaching your delightful children.
