Deputy's News
Dear Families and Friends
Well, it is nearly the end of term and the last few weeks are looking busier than ever. Parent Interviews have started! If you haven’t already made a time please take advantage of this valuable opportunity and organise a time to speak with your child’s class teacher. Just a reminder also that over the next two weeks teachers will again be involved in Curriculum Planning days. Please be aware that there may be different teachers on your child’s classes over the next two weeks while teachers are released off class to collaboratively plan and moderate with their Year Level teams.
Also, please look out for Swimming Notes being sent out this week for Prep- Yr 2 classes. Swimming starts next term in Week 2 of the term for these Year Levels.
As we head closer to the holidays, it is important to remember to remind children to keep focused on their work at school and at home.
Homework, especially reading homework, is an important part of being prepared for learning and revising concepts taught in class, at home, helps children at school. I would encourage all children to be reading or read to every night!
Another big thank you to our P&C and their band of helpers for their organisation and holding of our Annual Father’s Day stall. One again the children were very excitedly purchasing their gifts for their Dad’s. We hope all our fathers, grandfathers and special others had a fabulous day. Below are some portraits lovingly painted by some of our Yr 1 students for their Dads. Very special!
Visiting State Schools
Anyone visiting a state school (except staff and students) must report to the school’s administration building when they arrive. This does not apply to parents picking up their child after school but does apply if they are visiting the school for another reason.
The school will ask visitors to:
- sign in when you arrive
- wear an official visitor identification at all times
- sign out when you leave.
Any person found on school grounds without visitor identification will be referred to the school's administration building.
Writing at Dayboro
As mentioned last week, at Dayboro we value creative, authentic and engaging writing for a purpose. Our goal for 2019 has been to lift the engagement of our students in writing in all its’ forms and to celebrate successes in writing. Our teachers work hard to embed the teaching of high quality writing practices in their classrooms. Teachers meet regularly to discuss and share writing samples of students and it is pleasing to see our students working so diligently on their writing goals and becoming better writers! Soon we will be showcasing in our newsletter some examples of students reading their creative masterpieces. We will have some Year 1 students sharing their descriptive writing about a character and also some Year 4 students reading their Historical Recounts.
A big thank you to all our team here at Dayboro for a putting on a highly successful Prep Orientation session last Wednesday morning. It was wonderful to see so many families, new and old, seeking to enrol their students at Dayboro and coming to hear all about our school. We look forward to meeting your Prep children at the Interview sessions as well as at the Open Mornings being held soon. Please make sure you get your enrolment forms in as soon as you can. Dates as below:
Parent Teacher interview notes have gone home and will start this week. They have begun and continue until the end of this term. Please make a time to visit with your child’s class teacher as it is an excellent opportunity to check in on your child’s progress in all areas.
We have three weeks left of Dance Fever and the children have been excitedly practicing their dance performances for the Family Dance Night.
DATE CLAIMER: Thursday 12th September FAMILY DANCE NIGHT 5:30-8:30. See you all there.
Have a great week!
