Literacy & Numeracy Intervention Update

Year 4 and 6 intervention has officially begun and we are already blown away by the effort and determination shown by our students.

The Year 4 students are working on phonics and the four process (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). The Year 6 students are working on phonics and fractions.

Parents will receive a progress update on their child's learning in early Term 4.

Does your child speak English as an additional language?

Helpful tips for supporting your child

If your child feels worried or notices their way of speaking is different from others:

• reassure them that there’s nothing wrong with how they speak - everyone speaks differently, and that’s okay
• encourage them to keep using their home language. It is an important part of who they are.

If your child is practising or speaking Standard Australian English at home:

• respond using the language you normally use to speak with your child
• remind them that they can switch back to their home language when they’re at home or with family or community or friends.
