Year 5-6
Term 1, Week 2
Welcome to our first Classroom Communication post for 2024!
We have had a fabulous start to 2024. Everyone has came back with an outstanding attitude and have done a fantastic job welcoming new and returning students to our school. This year we also welcome Lisa Lister into 5/6F and Kerry Mason into 5/6M as our Learning Support Officers, we extend a warm welcome to them both.
Introduction to The Resilience Project
Over the past week, we have been revisiting all of our classroom and school expectations and putting these action. We have also began our new Resilience Project Diary, where we have began by understanding gratitude and recognising what we are grateful for as well as what makes us happy.

Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday
On the 13th of February we will celebrate Shrove Tuesday. It is a traditional Christian day that takes place on the day before Ash Wednesday. It is a day when people traditionally use up ingredients such as sugar, butter and eggs, before the start of Lent. Often pancakes were cooked to use up these ingredients and has now become recognised as Pancake Tuesday.
The Year 6 students will be cooking pancakes for the school, as well as all students wearing casual clothes and having the option to buy a Zooper Dooper.

Shrove Tuesday 2023
The next day we begin our season of Lent with Ash Wednesday. Lasting 40 days, it represents Christ's Temptation, observed with fasting and prayer. People, Christians and non-Christians alike, often give up bad habits or look for areas of self improvement for Lent.
School Uniform, Water and Hats
Just a reminder about our school uniform policy.
- The expectation is that ALL students have their own hat at school with their name on it.
- Students need to wear green socks and black shoes when we do not have PE or Bluearth.
- Earrings need to be studs or sleepers.
- No nail polish or necklaces.
- White socks and runners on PE and Bluearth days.
- Hair that reaches the collar needs to be tied back.
- Only water is to bought to school.
If this is unable to be achieved on a particular day, please write a note or email to your child's classroom teacher.
