From The Team

It has been a wonderful start to the year in Year 1/2. The students have been very busy with lots of learning and fun activities, ranging from unpacking the structure of a narrative, learning how to expand and partition numbers, representing a variety of numbers using MAB blocks, exploring Purple Mash in Digital Technology, getting ready for Twilight Sports, and so much more!

A gentle reminder that your child should be bringing home their Communication Folder with 5 readers, their Reading Log and words folder. We ask that these folders are returned to school each day in case we have notices to send home. Readers will only be changed on a Monday, and Reading Logs will also be checked then. Please fill out your child’s Reading Log each night that they read over the week.

During Integrated Studies lessons, we are continuing to investigate how things have changed over time in homes, schools and transport. To support this learning we have organised an excursion to Rippon Lea Estate. Permission and payment for this is now available on Compass.

At the beginning of next term we will be holding our F-4 Swimming Program. Permission and payment for this is now also available on Compass. Please note payment for this closes on 18th March.

It was great to see the students having a great time at Twilight Sports this week. It was a wonderful afternoon for everyone involved.

It was also great to catch up with parents and families who booked Parent-Teacher Interviews this week. It’s nice to discuss your child’s progress and learning goals. Please contact your child’s teacher if you wish to discuss anything further.
