Organisation

Specialists

At St Brigid’s all Foundation students will participate in several specialist subjects.  These take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays,  Thursdays, and Fridays.

Tuesday - Physical Education (PE) and Visual Arts  

Thursday - Performing Arts and Italian on a fortnightly rotation.

Friday - STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)

Please note: This means that ALL Foundation students need to wear their sports uniforms on TUESDAY (for PE).

All Foundation students will continue to participate in our PMP (Perceptual Motor Program).   This will be taking place on Mondays and Thursdays.  The students will be wearing their normal school uniform for PMP but will be removing their shoes and socks.  We would appreciate it if you could practice this at home and please make sure their shoes and socks are clearly labelled.  Please note that during the first two weeks of school, all students in Foundation - Year 4 are asked to wear their PE uniform to make changing after swimming easier. 

Library Day 

We will continue to visit the library on Mondays so please make sure your child has their library book to return and their library bag with them.   

Take Home Reading

Students will continue with their take-home books and sight words that they will need to practice at home each night. Please continue to read with your child each night and fill in their reading journal, this is checked each day at school. Their days for changing readers and testing their magic words will remain the same for the whole year.  During the course of this term we will be changing the take-home program for some students.  Once we are confident your child has mastered the sounds covered in class they will begin to take home decodable sentences, where they will be required to use their phonics knowledge to blend sounds to read the words.  This will be in place of the picture chats, however, if your child would still like a picture chat, please let us know.
