Primary Sub-School News

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back to Term 2!  We hope everyone had a restful break and is ready for another exciting term of learning and growth.

We have a number of engaging activities planned this term, including our much-anticipated swimming lessons and a special music incursion, Musica Viva!

Swimming Lessons: Our school swimming program will begin in Week 4 and run for 1 week.  These lessons are a vital part of our physical education program, helping students build confidence and essential water safety skills. Please ensure your child comes to school with their swimming gear, including bathers, towel, goggles, and a change of clothes.

Music Incursion: In Week 6, we are excited to host a dynamic music incursion featuring professional musicians who will introduce students to a variety of instruments, rhythms, and musical styles. This hands-on experience is designed to inspire creativity and deepen our students' appreciation for the performing arts.  It promises to be both educational and lots of fun!

Student Support Group (SSG) will occur during Weeks 4, 5 and 6, from 12 May to 29 May. Your child’s classroom teacher will be sending home a letter shortly with more details and scheduling information.

We strongly encourage all families to attend these important meetings.  They provide a meaningful opportunity to review your child’s progress, discuss individual learning goals, and plan future support strategies to help them continue to thrive.

We look forward to a fantastic term ahead filled with learning and creativity.

Warm regards,

Michelle

Room 6

All of Room 6 students had a great start to Term 2.  The students enjoy participating in the daily morning circle and check in routines.  We are also enjoying our literacy and numeracy sessions.  In literacy we are learning phonics, listening to stories on interactive white board and in numeracy, enjoying hands on activities sorting long and short objects, big and small and counting.  We also visit different locations in the school including the Library, Kid’s Kitchen and Vegetable Garden.  Our highlight is our weekly sessions with the Therapy Dog ‘George.’ Room 6 is looking forward to more exciting activities that will happen in Term 2,  one of them is the swimming sessions which will start soon in a couple of weeks!
