Class Updates and Reminders

Prep

Dates to Remember:

• Friday 20th June: St John’s Ambulance In-Visit 

Reminders:

Entering Level 2

There have been instances of parents walking children up to Level 2 in the morning and coming on the level after 3:30pm to collect lost items. Families are given the opportunity to walk their child to their classroom on Family Fridays, however, Preps are expected to make their way to their class independently on the other mornings. If your child has lost an item, they can look for it the following school day. Please do not come onto Level 2 without a staff member after school hours.

Year 1

Reminders:

Homework - Mathseeds

We were so pleased to see that 91% of the cohort completed their Mathseeds 1 lesson last week. We have noticed a huge improvement in correct homework completion. Please continue to support your child to complete their lesson each week.

Homework - Reading

Reading homework is 4 nights a week for 15 minutes. This is to be recorded in the school diary and signed.Students should bring their diary everyday. 

Year 2

Reminders:

Homework:

It has been lovely to see so many faces on our Mathseeds posters each week. This means that your child is applying their learning from school. Thank you for your support in instilling a strong homework routine for your child.  

The expectation is 1 lesson of Mathseeds completed a week (Sunday - Saturday). Please remember that Sunday starts the new week. 

The other homework expectation is reading 4 nights for 15 minutes. This is to be written in your child's diary and signed. Diaries should come to school every day.

Devices: 

Our Year 2 students really enjoy engaging with our programs (Maths Invaders and Reading Eggspress just to name a few). When your child forgets their iPad, it is on a low percentage or comes to school flat, this restricts their engagement. Thank you for your continued support in creating a home routine with your child which involves charging their iPad and placing the iPad in their bag.

Year 3

Dates to Remember:

• Week 9: Swimming at MSAC

Reminders:

Devices: 

Throughout the week, students use their devices to access their learning. We have noticed that many devices are coming into school with under 50% charge at the start of the day. We kindly ask you to support your child by ensuring their device is charged. This is a great opportunity to encourage and build independence. Please also check that passcodes and non-school apps are not on their iPads as this can interfere with their learning in class.  

Swimming

Please see the times below for each Year 3 class swimming lesson next week: 

In Week 9, we will be heading to MSAC for our swimming program. Students should come to school dressed in their sports uniform with their bathers on underneath. Please ensure they have a swimming bag with underwear to change into after, a towel and googles. To avoid any lost items, please ensure all belongings are clearly labelled with your child’s name. Thank you for your support!
