Welcome to Term 2
Thank you for the way you have prepared your children for returning to school. They came in smiling and settled.
Term 2 is a work term. Teachers spend Term 1 getting to know their class; this includes assessments, conferencing, and an Inquiry unit focusing on them. Our focus for Term 2 is academic learning. Teachers use the knowledge they have gleaned about each student to challenge and support them in their 'next step' learning.
Students need to be at school to achieve high standards. At the moment, we have 91% attendance, which is excellent—well Done! The challenge will be to keep this up during the colder months!
I challenge each student with daily reminders to be their best in the classroom and allow others to do the same. This includes asking questions, seeking assistance when necessary, working independently when appropriate, working quietly, and respecting others' learning needs. Teachers will share and give feedback to their students regarding their learning progress and will finish the term with our end-of-semester reports.
We continue to encourage you to read to and with your child, ask them questions about their learning, and switch off the screens whenever you can. By working together, every child achieves high standards.
