Production Crafternoons

Students and teachers have been hard at work being curious and creative by constructing, singing and dancing their way towards our production on Friday 13th September. Crafternoons have been going very well and our costumes and props are looking amazing. Students and teachers have really enjoyed having families involved in the process and the support is greatly valued and appreciated.

Crafternoons are from 2:25 pm to 3:20 pm every Thursday.

If you are available to help in any way or would like to come along and join in with our rehearsals, please speak to your child’s class teacher. If you are unable to make it on a Thursday afternoon, please see your child’s teacher and we can arrange another time for you to come in and help or items can be made at home and brought back to school.

It has been wonderful to see parents, students and teachers working together to make our production amazing!

Story Time on our website

We now have a link to some stories read by teachers on our website. This can be found by going to the Learning at Home page and clicking on the link. We will continue to add more videos of teachers reading stories that you can then share at home with your families. If any parents or family members would like to read a story for this page please let me know and I can film you reading and add it to our ever growing story collection. We would love to hear from you!

ClassDojo and sharing learning at home

It has been wonderful to see so many families sharing the learning and discussions about learning happening at home on Dojo. It has proven to be a wonderful link between school and home in many ways!

We would love for parents to continue to share the learning that is happening at home with us. This can be done by posting comments of family discussions about homework topics or photos and videos of students completing learning tasks at home. If you are not yet signed up to ClassDojo, please see me and I am more than happy to help you get connected!
