Organisation

Specialists

At St Brigid’s all Foundation students will participate in several specialist subjects. These take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Our Specialist days remain the same as Term 3. 

Tuesday - Physical Education (PE) 

Wednesday - Visual Arts  and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)

Thursday - Performing Arts and Italian on a fortnightly rotation.

All Foundation students will continue to participate in our PMP (Perceptual Motor Program) on Mondays only.  We will be continuing to remove their shoes and socks.  We would appreciate it if you could practise this at home and please make sure their shoes and socks are clearly labelled.  

Please note: This means that ALL Foundation students may continue to wear their sports uniforms on MONDAY (PMP) & TUESDAY (for PE).

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, decodable passages and sight words that they will need to practise 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. We ask that you do not select a different colour reading passage, as these are levelled and we will move students to the next colour when we are confident they have mastered the skills needed to read that level. It is important to remember that the purpose of our take home book program is to help the students develop confidence and fluency with their reading, so to facilitate this the books are meant to be easy. The students will be reading more challenging books within the classroom, where they can be supported by their teacher.
