Connect: Year 5
Welcome back to 2025! We have had a tremendous start to the year. The students have settled into our class routine and are doing a great job with meeting our School Wide Positive Behaviour expectations.
Reminders:
- Please send your child's library satchel with them to school on Thursdays so they can borrow books to take home.
- Term 1 is extremely hot with high UV rays so we require all students to bring hats and drink bottles.
- On Tuesday the 11th of February for the scrap booking afternoon, the students in 5A and 5B will be creating a cover for their wellbeing book. It will be a representation of them, including hobbies, interests, family, holidays, celebrations etc. We encourage the students to bring in any pictures, stickers, photos that represent this for their cover. Please remember these need to be flat as they will be laminated
