Dear Clayton South Primary School families,
I have had the best week ever since starting at Clayton South
Primary School. This week, I have been lucky enough to teach 5/6B
in Mr. Hay’s absence. The students in this class (as with all of
our grades) are absolutely beautiful and have made me feel very
welcome in their classroom. Last week I taught the Prep students
for a day, and had a great time working with our youngest students,
also. Our 5/6 students have been teaching me a thing or two about
fractions, and some of them even wrote 3 pages in their narrative
story writing session. What a fantastic group of students we have
here!
Next Tuesday, Miss Kathie and I will be accompanying our Year 6
student leaders to the city to the GRIP Leadership conference.
Please don’t forget to drop your child to Clayton Railway Station
by 7:45am for an 8am train. We will arrive back at Clayton Railway
Station at approximately 3:05pm. Please don’t be late. The students
will have a great time!
On Monday morning, a representative from ABCRead2Me will be
dropping off several boxes of books. These will be given out to the
students in the final week of Term 1 as a gift for their hard work
over the previous 9 weeks and to encourage a love of reading. The
company have indicated they will do this each term for our
students, so we thank them for their lovely donation.
Next Thursday, some students will be coming home with an ILP
(Individual Learning Plan). These will be for any students on the
Program for Students with a Disability, students with an ASD
diagnosis, and students who are working 12 months ahead or behind
the curriculum. The teachers have been busy creating achievable
goals for the students to work towards, based on the assessments
they have completed thus far.
All of our students have made such a brilliant start to the
year, and I am really proud of each and every one of them. And you
should be too.
Have a great week!
Greg Clement
