What we have been up to...

Maths

This week we have been learning about complex patterns. We have been working on recognising a complex pattern and then making one.

Reminders

Swimming starts on MONDAY! To prepare for swimming, please make sure every piece of clothing is named especially uniforms and underwear and that children can quickly dress themselves with little to no help.

Your child will need (all named):

-towel

-bathers on under school uniform to begin the school day

-underwear in swimming bag

-thongs or sandals for when we are at the pool (they still need to wear their normal school shoes to school). These thongs/sandals will stay at school for the whole week.

-additional plastic bag for wet bathers

-goggles ONLY if your child needs them

If your child has hair that is long enough to be tied up, please make sure that it is tied securely enough to last the entire swimming session. We have to get changed very quickly after swimming and have very little time to be redoing hair. 

Swimming week is a big week for our Preps. If you can, it may be a great idea to pack an extra snack or two so your children can have an extra snack in the afternoon. 

Can you please ensure your child wears their bathers under their school clothes to school, and has dry underwear in their swimming bag.
