Well it is nearly upon us now. Our group (5A, 5B, 5C & 5G) head off to camp on Monday and we are very excited. Don't forget that children need to be here at school at 7:00 am for a 7:30 departure. Hopefully by now any medication that children need, if any, has been handed over to Mrs Eldrett unless they needed it until Monday morning obviously.
Whilst at camp, students will be super busy enjoying a range of wonderful activities that aim to build confidence, resilience, leadership and team bonds. They will be so busy that they won't even have time to miss you, but if they do they will be surrounded by their surrogate parents (teachers) and their many surrogate brothers and sisters (peers), so don't worry about them; they'll be having fun so you may as well try to as well 😉.
We'll be back on Wednesday at about 2:30 and would appreciate any help unpacking the buses if you are able.
See you on the other side 😁.

Rugby
Good luck tomorrow to our 5C representatives, Cody, Sam and Jayden as they play for a place in the final at Suncorp Stadium next Friday. The Banksia Junior team is very strong and I know our boys will do us proud no matter the outcome.

Mad Minutes
Look at those hard working little boys and girls trying to nail their number facts. What a way to start the morning 🤓.

I'm back!!!
I thought I had better get back on the blog as it has been a while and I'm sure you must be wondering what's going on 😊.
We are right back in the thick of it now in week 4 of term 3. The students have been studying poems and are currently writing a poetry analysis, which is quite tricky stuff I can tell you. They are amazing me with their prowess and effort. We are also learning to structure paragraphs using the TEEL method, which means Topic sentence, Explain, Elaborate and Link.
In maths we are learning to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division using the right to left strategy. Again, your children are soooo clever because they are getting the hang of this very quickly.
This week we have Lapathon on Friday, so keep up that fundraising. Three of our boys, Cody.I, Sam and Jayden, are in the Junior Rugby League Development Cup competition on Friday and we wish them all the best. A try each for Mrs Heard, please boys 🏉. On Monday, Sera, Dom, Cody.G and Ellyah participated in the UNSW English Competition. I know they will have done their best and the results should be back before the end of term.
You will have received the NAPLAN results for your child today, which will hopefully give you similar information to what the report card gave you. Always remember that NAPLAN is a point in time test and that what we see of the whole child over a longer period and regularly is far more important.
