Term 3, Week 1 2022

3M’s Blog Week One, Term 3

 

Welcome back to another great Term in Grade Three. I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday. There was a lot of excitement with the children sharing their adventures this morning. It was wonderful to hear.

I spent the holidays with my parents who I haven’t seen for two and a half years, and we also moved into our home, so there was a lot of excitement in our household.

By the looks of things Term 3 is going to be a good, but big one for the Grade Three students, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.

A few important pieces of information to start the term.

Reconciliation

Reconciliation will be held in Week 8 of this term, Saturday the 10th September.

A Parent/Child workshop will be held next Tuesday, the 26th July for Reconciliation Candidates and their parents. Specific details are to come.

Homework

Children will receive their homework on Tuesdays this term and will be due back the following Friday.

Homework will consist of reading and times table practice with an implementation of oral practice as well as written.

If we can please ask that students are encouraged to hand their homework in on the correct date.

Stationery

We are coming to that time of the year where stationery needs to be replenished. Students should have an extra two Scrapbooks either at home or in their tubs. If your child has their scrapbooks at home, could you please organise them to bring them in.

Most students should also have extra glue sticks, pencils etc. If your child has these at home, could you please send them in a labelled Ziplock bag.

Uniform

Children will no longer be doing dance this semester, so their uniform changes slightly. Please note:

Monday – Formal Uniform

Tuesday – Formal Uniform

Wednesday – Sport Uniform

Thursday – Formal Uniform

Friday – Sport Uniform with Faction Shirt

 

Assembly

Assemblies are back and we are currently allocated our performance assembly Week 5 this term.

Week 8, Term 4

  Kaya Year 3 Parents,   I hope you have had a great Week 8.   WOW!!! What a year we have had. We are nearly there. I know that everyone is feeling tired and maybe crawling to the finishing line, but I am so proud of these kids. To say I have enjoyed teaching these children would be a complete understatement. I truly believe that the children are the real teachers, and we always have so much to learn from them. This cohort of children have taught me beyond what I ever imagined. What a privilege it has been to be their teacher this year. Some of you may or may not be aware that I will not be teaching here at OLC next year. As well as being a teacher, I am also a kinesiologist and I have decided to put down the teacher reigns next year and dive fully into my kinesiology business. The children may still see me around occasionally when I do some relief work. Seesaw I have just completed all of the “official” Seesaw tasks for this semester. Both Paula and I do hope that you

Term 4, Week 6

  Week 6, Term 4   Kaya Year 3 Parents. I hope you are all having a great week and enjoying an extra day for the weekend. Hard to believe we are at the end of week 5. The end of year is coming around so quickly. We are deep in the throes of assessment and reporting at the moment, so the children have been very busy demonstrating their skills, understanding and growth. Both Paula and I are in awe of how much all of the children have grown and evolved this year. We are so proud. It is also coming to that time of year where the children are starting to feel tired. Immune systems and resilience may not be running as high as normal and they may be finding certain things a little more challenging than they usually would. Paula and I are fully aware of this and trying to make the classroom a safe and supportive space for them in these last four weeks of school.
