Foundation Learning Community

What an amazing Term 2 we have had! There is so much new learning happening and we are so proud of all the children. 

If you would like something to do in the holidays, we encourage you to keep up with reading and practising the ‘Tricky’ words either on your child’s keyring or at the back of the reading diary.  

Maths 

During Maths, the students have been learning about place value and making and representing numbers using tens and ones. They have also been practicing recognising, ordering and writing numbers 0-20. It would be great if the children could also practice at home to assist their learning. 

Literacy 

During Literacy, the children have been introduced to new sounds and ‘tricky’ words. These have all been placed on their keyrings. During their reading time at home, a reminder to also practice the keyring sounds and words to help with their understanding and fluency. 

Dates Coming Up 

Next term we have THREE DRESS UP DAYS! We thought we would give you plenty of time to think about this! 

“100 Days of School” - in week 3 (July 31st) we will have been at school for 100 days. As part of our celebration the children will dress up for the day as a ‘Centurian’.  There will be grey hair, canes, and cardigans galore!!! 

Please refer to the email sent on Wednesday June 24th for further details. 

Book Week – this usually occurs in August. Students can come dressed up as a character from their favourite book. More details to follow early in Term 3. 

Maggie Mouse’s Birthday Suprise – Wednesday, September 2nd 

To celebrate learning all our letters we will come to school dressed as one of our letter characters. We hope you can get some inspiration from the key rings in your child’s reading folder. More details to come next term.
