Important Dates

Thank You!

As Term 2 draws to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to again thank every member of our incredible Scotsburn community. Your communication, support, pride and collaboration is truly remarkable and something that all staff at Scotsburn cherish. Across Term 2 we have had a large number of events, excursions, incursions, celebrations and activities, providing students with incredible experiences both in and out of the classroom. We look forward to many more to come in Term 3, none more than the long awaited School Concert!.

We hope everyone is able to enjoy a safe and relaxing mid-year break, and we look forward to seeing you all back at the beginning of Term 3.

SC1 Learning Snapshot

What an amazing amount of work, fun and memories we have created this term. We certainly have had things to celebrate and for each student to feel proud of this term. Reports and Parent Teacher Interviews are a great time to reflect and see what wonderful things have been achieved and where the next stages of learning will be. Thank you to all parents who have read and shared their child’s report with them and those who made Parent Teacher Interviews. We hope these have given you an insight into your child’s learning journey and development.

This last week we have been finishing up our narratives and have also started to look at sentence structure and punctuation by creating  ‘Dinosaur - Who Am I?’. We look forward to sharing these with you soon. 

In Maths, we have been identifying, explaining, and using 2D shapes. We have used shapes to create dinosaurs and explain the features of the shapes. Students have loved this! 

We hope you have a relaxing winter break, keep warm, and we look forward to seeing you all in Term 3.

Thanks.

SC2 Learning Snapshot 

As always, this term has certainly flown by in SC2! We have had so much to celebrate with each and every student able to achieve wonderful learning and growth in all areas of the curriculum. The reporting process over the past few weeks has been such a lovely time to reflect on how amazing the semester has been. The student report comments that were completed by each student independently were well detailed and wonderfully reflective. 

This week students will be putting the finishing touches on publishing their space persuasive pieces as well as concluding their work on decimals and time in Maths. Everyone is so much better now at telling the time!!!

Thanks so much to the amazing parents of our students in SC2. We feel so well supported and love the collaborative relationship that we have. Wwe wish everyone a relaxing winter break and look forward to seeing you all in Term 3.

Thanks again,

Jarrod and Liz
