Term 2, Week 3

-

 Kaya Team 5J,


I hope you all had a great weekend out and about. I spent most of my
time in the garden in between watching the Eagles drum up another loss and the Dockers finally getting a win on the board. Happy Mother's Day for Sunday! Hopefully, you are showered with love and peace and quiet!



QUOTE OF THE WEEK

THE ROSARY

In the Catholic Church the month of May is Mary's month. It's the month we honor Blessed Mary as the Mother of Jesus and our Heavenly Mother.

We are very fortunate in Year 5 because we will have some very special guests from the Parish visiting us every Monday for the month of May. Mrs DeGaris and Ms Rooney will teach us about praying the rosary.

Rosary beads will be provided, but the children are more than welcome to bring in their own to use.



A Note from Mrs Haines regarding Dance for Term 2:

DANCE CONCERT- FRIDAY, 16TH JUNE WEEK 8 STARTING TIME: 11AM
Hello Families, if you are planning to be away at all this Term and/or away for the Dance Concert, can you please email me, ellie.haines@cewa.edu.au so I can plan accordingly. I only get to see your children for 1 hour a week and have had a lot of students telling me that they will be away this term/for the concert etc but need confirmation from parents please. Thank you- Mrs Haines


CHARACTER STRENGTHS

Parents, this week we are looking at developing the character strength of Judgement. 
St Alphonsus left his career as a lawyer to follow God. St Alphonsus was a practical person, who dealt with the concrete and not the abstract.
• Do you think things through?
• Are you open-minded and think about all sides of a situation?

YEAR 5/6 LEADERSHIP DAY


Our Year 5 and 6 students will be very fortunate to attend a special Leadership day in the hall on Monday the 22nd of May. The wonderful Mrs Meyer has arranged for the students to have an inspirational speaker for the day. This event has been supported by the P&F. This will be a whole day presentation and the students will be required to wear their sports uniform please. This is a wonderful privilege for our students and will hopefully aid in the students becoming the best leaders they can be.




Congratulations to Adele Sorgiovanni for receiving the most recent Star Citizen Award for compassion and to Archie Lafranchi for getting a Merit Award last week. Well done legends!!






Enjoy the rest of the week!

Until next time,







Mr Jones

Parent / Teacher Interview Reflections

 Hi Year Five parents! A big thank you to all of the Year Five parents that managed to come in for a chat about your child's progress this year. Both Miss Lombardi and myself have reflected on the process and some key points to come out of our meetings is to provide you guys with some strategies to best support your child's learning at home. READING: As all children should be reading for a minimum of 20 minutes each day, hopefully a time could be set aside each week to engage with their reading. Below is a list of questions that you could ask your child before, during or after reading, to get the conversation started. It would be great if you could listen to your child read at least once a week, paying close attention to their ability to use the punctuation cues within the text.  MATHEMATICS: As part of our home learning in Year Five, the students will focus on a particular Times Table for the week. They have access to a range of hip new songs that focus on the different multi...
