ATTENDANCE

UNIFORM SHOP

HOURS OF OPERATION

Tuesday 8.45am - 10am

Wednesday 8.45-10am

As families are purchasing items and preparing for the new school year the following information is a reminder about school uniforms! We take great pride in our uniform and would like to remind our families of expectations. Our uniform shop has all requirements and is very well priced with good quality materials! We ask that students do not wear branded clothes (this includes sports shorts and socks.) The sport shorts from the uniform shop are recommended as they are longer in style (as per our SunSmart policy!) Shoes are so important as they work hard! We ask that shoes are fully black (no white soles) and that canvas shoes are not worn (either for formal or sport) Please if you need support with uniforms or have any questions, message us or make contact when we are back at school. We are here to help! Below are the uniform requirements and remember to label all clothing especially jumpers and hats! We will let you know Uniform Shop arrangements. Orders can also be made online.

CHILDREN CHATTER MATTERS

Language Learning activities to try at home.

Focus: Story grammar, telling narratives.

Share books with your child by reading and asking questions. This will help your child hear the entire sequence and flow of the story, which will assist them learning story structure. Once your child has had the opportunity to have a few texts read to them uninterrupted, it is important that during reading, you begin to take turns in talking about what is happening in the pictures and ask your child questions that focus on the elements of the story.

Before reading a story with your child discuss the following questions:

What is the title of the book?
What does the cover tell you about the book?
What do you think the book is about?
Have we read a book like this before?

During reading with your child, the following questions can be asked:

What do you think will happen next?
What is the problem in the book?
How do you think the problem will be solved?
Why do you think the character did that?
How do you think the character feels?
When you were reading this part, what were you picturing in your head?

After reading ask the following questions:

Describe the setting of the story?
Where did the story take place?
What was your favourite part?
Which part would you change?
