Week 7 Term 3 2020

Dear parents,

I hope you all enjoyed the extra long OLC weekend - it was a lovely break and gave us all time to recuperate after a big week including the sports carnival and open classrooms afternoon.

Assembly

This Friday is the big one! Our grand performance!  The assembly will start at 2.10pm but if any parents could pop in just before at about 1.45 straight after lunch to help us get dressed that would be wonderful.  Please send your child's costume to school in a clearly marked plastic bag/swimming bag so we can get changed into it straight after lunch.  Students will need to wear their normal sports uniform for the first part of the day.  I can't wait to see them all dressed up as their dads.  It was interesting to hear what clothes they wanted to wear and many were very keen to adorn some facial hair.  A few were a bit worried what they would do if their dad was bald or thinning - obviously really keen to play the full role!  

There will be some students also with a microphone speaking role and they were given a slip of paper yesterday that they can practise at home for the next few days if they like.  Please feel free to email me if you have any questions at all about the assembly performance on Friday.

Worm Wizz

As many of you will be coming to the assembly this week, just a little reminder that Worm Wizz is for sale at assembly, $5 for 4L. It's the best organic fertilizer money can buy.  All proceeds go to "Wheelchairs for Kids" to provide mobility for a child in a third world country.  This is a great part of our school sustainability program. 

Sports Carnival

Congratulations on Leeuwin for being our overall winners and a mention to Naturaliste for being the best at cheering on their faction friends!  It was a great day and I loved seeing all of the special God moments including the Year 1 students showing such great sportsmanship and some overcoming initial nervous feelings to have a great day and having their best go.  

There is also a special mention to these gorgeous 1K team members on their success and place winners for long jump and throws event that was held in the previous week during sports.  Another proud moment was when the ribbons and places were announced how everyone celebrated and cheered on their peers.  

Open Classroom

Thank you for all of those parents who took some time to pop into our classroom after such a big day.  It was lovely hearing all of the comments that you shared with your child about their learning.  I'm sure your children also appreciated the time and positive feedback they received from you and your visit.  We are always busy little bees in 1K! 

Thank you so much for your continued assistance and support,

Penny and Gemma

Welcome to Year 1K for 2021

Hello and welcome to the 1K blog!  We hope you have all had a relaxing and peaceful holiday and enjoyed some of this beautiful summer weather!  We am looking forward to getting to know your beautiful children and working with you throughout your child's learning journey this year. Year One is a favourite year to teach for both of us - we've both taught it for at least five years each and are very excited to be back for another year in the land of Year One.  It  is a big, but exciting year where your child will, discover, grow, create, learn, reflect and experience an abundance of fun and interesting things in our class!   This year your child is lucky to have two class teachers!  Mrs Penny King will be teaching Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and Mrs Gemma Sorgiovanni will be teaching on Thursdays.  You are able to contact either of us anytime throughout the week via email and we communicate daily with each other.    As a parent of a Year One student, it is extremely impo

Kaya Everyone ,   We hope you have had an enjoyable holiday and are ready for the last term of this year. A lot is happening this term and the end will be here before we know it. We are so impressed with how much dedication the students have been putting into their work and how supportive they have been of one another.   Learning Intentions   Spelling: Review ‘oi’ as in coin and ‘oy’ as in boy.   Writing: Focusing on ad verbs in our writing and the purpose of them.     Mathematics: How to position numbers on an empty number line to help our calculations.   Star Citizen Congratulations to Tessa, who was our star citizen recipient on the last day for her consistent display of the school value of respect. Well done, Tessa! Homework We have decided to repeat the sound focus concepts in spelling from week 10 so the fluency grids and spelling lists on the back will be the same as the last week of term 3. A new fortnightly list will be sent home next week (week 2/3). Please remember t

 Dear Parents,  Welcome back to Week One. I hope you had a lovely holiday and managed to get some sun on a few winter days (or stay inside with all this rain!).  I hope you all managed to have some rest and relaxation over the last two weeks. We are getting ready for a massive Term Three ahead and cannot wait to get into all the fun learning that will be happening over the next few weeks! Dance with Mrs. Haines This semester, our class will be participating in dance every Monday for the Year 1s.  This happy news means that students will now wear sports uniforms on Monday as well as Thursdays and Fridays every week for the rest of the year. . I am so excited to see the movers and groovers in our class for the end of year concert. I will send out a text as well so that students are prepared for the uniform change tomorrow but if they days are ever mixed up please don't worry about it too much as they won't be excluded or miss out.   Assembly Assemblies are back and we are current
