Organisation

Specialists

Our specialist lessons remain the same for Term 2. These take place on the following days: 

Tuesday - Physical Education (PE) 

Wednesday - STEM & Visual Arts  

Thursday - Italian on a fortnightly rotation (odd weeks).

Friday - Performing Arts on a fortnightly rotation (even weeks).

Please note: This means that ALL Foundation students need to wear their sports uniforms on TUESDAY (for PE).

Foundation students will also continue participating in our PMP program on Mondays and Thursdays. As students will now be in their winter uniform, if your daughter is wearing stockings for the day, please send some socks along so they can still put their shoes on independently at the end of the day.

Library Day 

All Foundation students will be visiting the Library every Friday. In this time they will be allowed to borrow 1 Library book that they can read at home over the week and change the following week. Please make sure your child has a library bag on Fridays.

Take Home Reading

During Term 2, all students will continue to take home heart words (new ones sent home as they are learnt in class) and 1 book a week for reading - as students become familiar with the book, we recommend reading pages out of order or writing words on a separate piece of paper to continue to encourage students to use their decoding skills rather than memory to read their text. You can also encourage your child to practise writing by reading them a word or sentence from the book and getting them to write it down. Books sent home are a level below the sounds we are learning in the classroom, as students need to learn all sounds within a level before beginning to read full books at that level. 

We will also continue to send a picture chat with a matching set of question prompts for you to discuss over the week. We ask that you read with your child every night and fill in the reading journal; these will be monitored at school.
