Dear Parents and Carers 

Welcome back to Term 4. The sunshine and warming weather helps to give us an optimistic view of the world as we wait to be able to welcome back our friends and families into our homes and our students back to school.

Next week we will be celebrating Science Week 2021. This is an important part of our learning journey each year and is a whole school initiative. Science Week was postponed from August and will now be celebrated from Monday the 11th October to Friday the 15th of October. The focus this year is on Food - Different by Design. Mrs Petersen, our Science Co ordinator has planned a learning program with guest speakers that develops the theme from a simple level in our infants grades to a more complex program for our older students. We also have a parent only workshop that you might like to attend. Please see the accompanying flyer here Science_week_parent_communication_T4_W1_Google_Docs_2_.pdf and below for the zoom links for each session. Teachers will have the Zoom links included in their lesson plans for next week as well. Our students will have experiences in the following areas:

The PAWS expectation that we are promoting this week is encouraging children to Be Responsible. We are encouraging children to be ready for learning, on time and to act responsibly in class or Zoom meetings. We hope this will help with the children’s transition back to school. Please see the dates below for each grade’s return to face to face teaching date and other term dates.

Enjoy your week.

Regards

Julie Caldwell
