Kindergarten

A message from Early Stage 1

Classroom helpers wanted

Kindergarten teachers are seeking parent/grandparent helpers to support student learning in literacy sessions. Support will include small group reading and letter/sound knowledge. An information session will be available for any interested parents/grandparents who would like to volunteer their time prior to this support program commencing. If you are interested or seeking further information, please email your child’s class teacher by Friday 23 May.

If your child has NOT YET brought in a small ‘fuzzy friend’ (teddy bear, soft toy, stuffie) to support their learning in the URSTRONG program, please do so this week. Please ensure your child’s ‘fuzzy friend’ is clearly marked with their name.
