UNIFORM SHOP
HOURS OF OPERATION
Tuesday 8.45am - 10am
Wednesday 8.45-10am
As families are purchasing items and preparing for the new school year the following information is a reminder about school uniforms! We take great pride in our uniform and would like to remind our families of expectations. Our uniform shop has all requirements and is very well priced with good quality materials! We ask that students do not wear branded clothes (this includes sports shorts and socks.) The sport shorts from the uniform shop are recommended as they are longer in style (as per our SunSmart policy!) Shoes are so important as they work hard! We ask that shoes are fully black (no white soles) and that canvas shoes are not worn (either for formal or sport) Please if you need support with uniforms or have any questions, message us or make contact when we are back at school. We are here to help! Below is the uniform requirements and remember to label all clothing especially jumpers and hats! We will let you know Uniform Shop arrangements. Orders can also be made online.

CHILDREN CHATTER MATTERS
Morphology activities - Children's chatter matters
Tell a story. Adapting the same cards from the previous week. As each card is played, use the word in a sentence that join together to make a story. This helps develop vocabulary, sequencing skills and memory. At the end of the game, look at the cards and use each word to recall the story. This is a memory skill. It is easier to remember a lot of key words by linking them together in a story.
Flashcards. See how many cards can be read in one minute. Next time, see if that score can be beaten and give a small reward and incentive to beat the previous score. This activity helps to improve the speed at which a word can be recalled from sight.
Jigsaw Game. Using the previous words cut them into their prefixes and suffixes. See how quickly you can join the matching pieces. When all the pieces have been joined, say each word individually and then put them into a sentence. Alternatively, write the prefixes on a post-it-note in one colour and the root words on another colour. Then make words by joining the two different colours.
Spelling words with prefixes. Using the words, say the word you want you your child to spell. Ask them to say, write and highlight the prefix and then the root word with different colours.
