Term 2, Week 4


Welcome to week 4 everyone,


Well the disappointment continues. The shockers put up a shocking performance in Sydney on Saturday. After dominating the first quarter, they ended up being goalless after 30 minutes, which was just the beginning. The swannys took control after that and the match ended in tears…

On the other side of the pond, according to reports several Grand Final tickets have already been purchase. I know that I don’t have to watch AFL360 tonight as I received multiply reports from students and staff members that “Eagles win, Dockers in the bin”.

NAPLAN:
A big congratulations to all the Year 5 students for completing the NAPLAN assessments last week. Every student put their best efforts in and that is all we can ask for.

Football:
Parents, could you please have a quiet word to your boys if they play football on the oval at recess and lunch. There has been an escalation in the amount of tackling that is happening on the oval. Des has stressed that there is to be no tackling your opponent to the ground, but there was several incidences today where there were Year 5 boys sling tackling and dropping people to the ground. I really don’t want to ban the boys from the oval, so could you please let the boys know that the tackling is not on.

Camp:
Camp has been booked for Wednesday 27th June – Friday 29th June (WEEK 9) at Bridgetown Camp School.

We are looking for a volunteer Mum and Dad to come on the camp with us. Please let me know if you are interested.

In the coming weeks, a camp permission slip and medical form will be sent home for filling out and signing. Please return these ASAP. Cheers!

Book Fair:
On Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th of May, there is a book fair in the library. The library will be selling books from 8-9am and 3.30-4.30pm on these days.

Homework:
For those students that are still struggling to understand what the activities for spelling are, there is a success criteria on their Onenote.
