General Information & Reminders

Library: There are many students who still forget to bring their library bag to school.Pleaseensure your child brings their library books to school each week on their library day. If your child has overdue books they will not be able to borrow. 

Parent Helpers: We look forward to having you help in the classroom again this term. Parent helpers will commence in Week 4. Rosters will be posted on Compass. You need to have a Working with Children Check and to have completed the Parent Helper's Course.

The Homework expectations and Home Learning ideas for this term are:

• Hearing your child read their take home books every night. Ask questions during and after reading: “What do you think is going to happen next?”, “Why did that character do that?”, “What was your favourite part and why? 
• Make sure your child returns their books to school everyday in their Red Book Bag so they practise reading them during partner reading in the classroom.
• Read aloud to your children regularly so they can hear you read fluently, paying attention to punctuation and with expression.
• Reading and/or writing the Magic Words. You may like to play some games such as snap, memory or bingo, or write the word, cut up the letters and ask your child to reassemble them.  
• Please remember to use the available electronic resources to enhance and consolidate your child's learning, such as the PMeCollection, Matific and Nessy.
