Next P&C Meeting– 7th October, 2020
This week we received our Review feedback which is overwhelmingly positive and really has articulated well the success of the work we’ve done in 2020. We have four key findings to work on over the next four years which as a school we had identified as our next steps. The majority of this work is to embed the processes we’ve already begun and to sharpen the focus of some of the work to target further areas. I have emailed a copy of this document out to families and it will be available for download off the school website by the end of the term also. On Monday we celebrated Support Staff Appreciation week by sharing a cake with our amazing team of support staff. We genuinely appreciate all the work this team of staff do to contribute to the effective running of our school. On Tuesday we had the Police Liaison Officers visit for lunchtime so they were able to play soccer and tennis with the students. It is really great to see this partnership come together. On Thursday morning Dave Taylor from Queensland Ambulance Service spoke to the students about what they can do to keep themselves safe and what they should do when they need to con-tact an ambulance. We really appreciate Dave giving his time to help the students to be well informed in emergency situations. On Saturday at 12pm, Fola from Centacare will be running soccer training on the school oval. This is due to Futsal having to be cancelled on Monday afternoon due to his other work commit-ments. It would be great to have students and their families attend. Until further notice the Kids Activities at the Council facilities has been postponed. Please also be aware that children under the age of 10 can not swim at the pool without supervision of an adult. Next week is going to be a very busy week. On Tuesday we have the excursion to the Les Wilson Barramundi Centre, on Wednesday we have students visiting Normanton to play hockey and on Friday we have a free dress day and a transition day for the Kindergarten students. In classes, students will also be constructing their Litter Critters which will go on display during the Outback by the Sea festival. Have a great weekend.
This week in P-3 we have been working hard to complete assessments. We have been explor-ing informative reports and using ICT tools to type them up to complete our multimodal as-sessments. We have then been exploring 2D and 3D shapes for maths and exploring forces for science.
4-6 CLASS:
Students have been work-ing hard on completing as-sessments for end of term. Our spelling focus this week was on reviewing term words and using a diction-ary and thesaurus to extend
word knowledge and vocabu-lary. Place value maths games were very popular as fast finish-es in maths.
Student absences
Please ensure you are communicating with the school if your student is absent.
There are a number of ways you can report if your student is absent from school, including;
replying to the daily text messages sent for absences
