Have a great holiday 4P


Thank you Mrs Gioiello for being a wonderful and supportive class parent!


Dear 4P students and parents

I wish to thank you for your commitment to learning and the wonderful feedback from interviews. I know that Semester 2 will be here before we know it and all students will continue to strive for  academic and personal success.
I wish everyone a wonderful and safe holiday and hope you all have a well earned rest.
Next term will see many changes in the classroom especially in the class program. 
I would like all students to write in their diaries during the holidays and bring a Thesaurus to class everyday. Some students have communication books. Please have them ready for next term in clip folders.
I will need parent assistance for the small group programs so if you are available, please come in and HELP! A note will go out next term. Hoping to have parent training at 9 am on Thursday 24th July.
I also hope all students catch up on their school work over the next 2 weeks so that they can enjoy their winter break.
I will miss you all but tired and old Ms P needs a holiday too!
Regards
Ms P

Teacher’s Note

Dear students and parents.

I have begun reports and will be having parent teacher sessions

earlier this term as I am taking long service leave for the last 2 weeks of school.

Mrs Lambley will be the relieving teacher on 4P.

The class program will continue and the transition should be smooth.

All students know the weekly routine and class organisation.

I am so pleased with the academic progress for the majority of 4P.

It is essential that all students continue to challenge themselves and strive for their personal best.

Interview information will be sent out shortly.

Thank you to the 3 students who have already brought in their $50.00 each

for the walk-a-thon.

All students should now start collecting their sponsorship money

and we have agreed to try and target $50.00 per student.

This should enable our class to raise $1350!

Every Monday- 11:00-11:30 is Gym
