Seesaw is a really important tool we use regularly at West. If you do not have this app please contact our school office and find out how you can obtain it. This digital app-based platform allows students, teachers, and parents/carers to communicate and share classroom activities. It’s a quick and easy way for teachers and students to capture, and share, what's happening in the classroom and a great way for you and your child’s teacher to communicate.
In our waste-filled lives, it’s important to do what we can to decrease the waste we’re contributing to the landfill. More and more schools are getting in on the act and requiring parents pack a waste free lunch some days of the week, if not all of them. What does this mean exactly?
Waste free means only packing items that can be composted or recycled and that won’t end up in the garbage bin. That means, no plastic wrap, no foil, no zip lock bags and no packaged foods.
We are just about ready to start building our Cubbies. Thank you so much to all those families who have donated items. The Student Leaders met and decided on the following CUBBY TOWN AGREEMENT
Yesterday the Prep and Grade 1 students went to the Mildura Arts Centre to watch the performance of “Pete the Sheep’. Everyone was excited to go to the theatre and enjoyed the singing and dancing in the show. Only four actors performed, so the kids were amazed at how much they did with the changes of characters, voices and hats and how quickly they changed their setting. The big idea of ‘it is okay to be different’ and how to ‘think outside the box’ has been discussed with the children.
As you know, starting school is a big event for our children………and often for the parents too.
This year’s Preps have settled in and are now learning lots. We would love it if our Prep parents could come to school to find out how they can help their children and also learn how we teach.
We will be having two evening sessions:
Session 1 – Parents will learn how we teach Reading, Writing and Maths When: Thursday 20th May, 6.00 – 7.15pm (Parents only session)
