Specialists

Our Specialist days remain the same for Term 3.

Monday - Performing Arts each even week.

Tuesday - Physical Education (PE) and Visual Arts

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

Friday - Performing Arts each odd week.

All Foundation students will continue to participate in our PMP (Perceptual Motor Program). From Term 3, this will be taking place on Wednesdays only. The students can now wear their sports uniform for PMP. We will be continuing to remove 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: This means that ALL Foundation students need to wear their sports uniforms on TUESDAY (for PE) & WEDNESDAY (PMP).

Library Day

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

Take Home Reading

As students continue to have the same book for a full week, there are many ways you can use this text at home. For the first day, you might find it beneficial to work only with the heart words and speed words for that book, before reading the book in the following days. Some other ways you can extend their learning is by using the book for spelling practise - reading out speed words or sentences for your child to write, and also getting them to read to you with you writing what they say, for them to check if they are reading clearly enough for you to write the correct sentence. You can also challenge your child to find a specific word within a page or full book, or ask them specific questions where they need to scan to find the answer in the book. You can also use their heart words and speed words for games like memory or go fish, by writing the words out onto pieces of paper at home.
