Welcome to Week 8! Week 8 Update – Time Flies!
Welcome to Week 8 of Term – can you believe how quickly the term is flying by? Our students have been busy learning, creating, and showing just how much they’ve grown this year.

Spotlight on Assessment
It’s assessment time, and our writers have been hard at work planning their persuasive texts. They’ve now begun drafting their friendship-themed writing pieces, exploring what it means to be a good friend and how to express their ideas clearly and persuasively.

In the Maths Classroom
We’ve been exploring the wonderful world of 3D shapes, investigating their properties and how they appear in everyday life. Alongside this, students are developing their measurement skills in length, mass, capacity, area, and perimeter – plenty of hands-on learning to stretch their mathematical thinking!

Every Day Counts
A friendly reminder that every school day matters. Consistent attendance makes a big difference to student learning, confidence, and connection with their peers. Let’s keep aiming for great attendance together!

PBL Focus – Respect the Right of Others to Learn
This week, our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) focus is ‘ I respect the right of others to learn’. In practice, this means:

• Listening carefully when others are speaking                
• Following instructions the first time
• Staying on task and letting others stay on task too
• Allowing the teacher to teach

By working together, we create a positive classroom environment where everyone can achieve their best.

What’s Coming Up:

• Cono Cook-off – we’re nearly finished our meal plans and ingredient lists will go home on Thursday for the cook-off in Week 9!

• Oztag Gala Day – Glenview State School, September 12
• Year 3–6 Camp – Stanley River, October 29–31
