ATTENDANCE

UNIFORM SHOP

HOURS OF OPERATION

Tuesday 8.45am - 10am

Wednesday 8.45-10am

As families are purchasing items and preparing for the new school year the following information is a reminder about school uniforms! We take great pride in our uniform and would like to remind our families of expectations. Our uniform shop has all requirements and is very well priced with good quality materials! We ask that students do not wear branded clothes (this includes sports shorts and socks.) The sport shorts from the uniform shop are recommended as they are longer in style (as per our SunSmart policy!) Shoes are so important as they work hard! We ask that shoes are fully black (no white soles) and that canvas shoes are not worn (either for formal or sport) Please if you need support with uniforms or have any questions, message us or make contact when we are back at school. We are here to help! Below is the uniform requirements and remember to label all clothing especially jumpers and hats! We will let you know Uniform Shop arrangements. Orders can also be made online.

CHILDREN CHATTER MATTERS

Morphology activities - Children's chatter matters

Morphology: Morphological awareness is a skill that helps students read and spell. It involves breaking up words into their root word, prefixes, and suffixes. These can be added or taken away from a word to alter its meaning. For example, the word unhelpful can be broken into a prefix – un (meaning not), root word – help, and a suffix – ful (meaning full of). This could be explained as: not full of help. The following activities will help develop your child’s morphological awareness and improve indirectly their fluency, reading comprehension, and spelling.

Find the Roots: Teach the concept of root words to your child. You might say, "A root word is the 'main' word in a longer word." Give examples and then have your child practice identifying the root words.

Ask your child to highlight the root words in following complex words.

1. mouthy

2. hopeful

3. sleepless

4. carefully

5. childish

6. workable

7. sawed

8. trembling

9. growing

10. unhelpful
