Home Expectations and Learning Ideas for this term are:

Encourage independence by saying goodbye at the line up area in the morning and allowing your child to enter the classroom on their own.
Hear your child read their take home book every night.
Practise reading the High Frequency Word lists sent home.
Art Smocks and Red Book Bags need to be brought to school.
Please remember to send a family photo with your child to school as soon as possible.
Make sure your child brings their Red Book Bag to school with their book in it every day when the Reading Program starts.

Your child will receive a bag with educational literature for you to read. Please keep the literature and return the empty bag to school as soon as possible with your child’s name on it because we will be using it for our library sessions.

The ‘Trivical Dancing’ program will commence in Week 3 and will continue for 6 weeks. It is a really fun 50 minute session of dance and movement held in the hall. It is advisable for children to wear comfortable shoes like runners and for the girls to wear bicycle shorts under their school dress. There will be a parent open session to celebrate the childrens’ achievements at the end of term. You will be notified of this closer to the date.

Keep an eye out for continual information via Compass as the term and year progresses.
