Welcome to Year 4
We have enjoyed a wonderful start to the year as students have settled successfully back into the routine of school life. We have many exciting events happening throughout Term 1 so please ensure that you stay up to date via the school newsletter and Compass.

Homework
Homework commenced on Monday 10th February. Homework will be distributed by your child’s teacher every second Monday and due back the following Thursday, meaning that students each have 10 nights to complete the assigned tasks. The aim of the homework is to consolidate skills that are currently being learned in the classroom whilst also providing an opportunity for students to practice personal organisational habits at home.
Offering support to your child when completing homework might be necessary at times, however we suggest that all parents try and encourage as much of an independent approach to finishing the set tasks as possible.
Contacting Teachers
A reminder that if you need to pick your child up from school during the day for any reason, please email the classroom teacher. This will help us ensure that students are ready at the office with their bags packed.
If your child is going to be away from school for any reason, we ask you put this onto Compass, so we are aware of their absence when completing the roll in the morning.
Learning In The Classroom - Place Value
Parents and Literacy Night
Each year at Vermont Primary School we run a program called Parents and Literacy (PAL). This is offered to parents who would like to learn how we teach Reading and Writing and how you can help support your child’s learning at home and help in the classroom. Although the focus this year is on Foundation to Year 2, parents of students in Year 4 are more than welcome to attend

Tissues
As a level, we are encouraging healthy hygiene habits and would appreciate it if the students could donate a box of tissues to their classroom. Many thanks to those who have already brought in a box of tissues.

Congratulations to all students who participated in the school swimming trials. It was wonderful to see the students all trying their best and displaying great sportsmanship
