An Overview of our Learning

Miss Tilley and Mrs. McQueen would like to WELCOME BACK ALL OUR WONDERFUL STUDENTS! We are so happy to be back in the classroom!

We have been so impressed with how seamlessly the students have transition back into onsite learning. Our Year 1 Students have hit the ground running, getting straight into our learning for Term 4.

Students have been enjoying hands-on Maths lessons for Measurement and Geometry and using informal measuring tools to measure different items around the classroom. Students have also been progressing with their InitiaLit lessons, where during our reading rotations every child has had the chance to read with their teacher. We have also started our new Inquiry topic ‘Land and Sky’ which saw students having fun tracing their partners shadow and watching their shadow move throughout the day. Throughout this unit students will investigate Earth and Space sciences.

Take Home Readers!

Take home readers have begun this week. Please note that in order to do this in a Covid-safe way the structure of take home readers has changed. Students will be given readers to take home on Monday. They will then be expected to bring those readers back each Friday. Returning the readers on a Friday will give the school’s contract cleaners an opportunity to sanitise the books, ready for safe distribution on the following Monday. Students will not have the readers over the weekend.

Please read with your child nightly, making a note in their student diary.

Important Dates:

Friday the 30th of October – Year 1/2 Professional Practice Day
Monday the 2nd of November – Curriculum Day
