ES1 Newsletter

Welcome to Term 4 and the last term of Kindergarten. Thank you to all the parents, grandparents and other family members that were able to join us for the K-2 Athletics Day. What a great event. Have a look at the K-2 Athletics Day page in this newsletter to view photos from the day.

Reminders

The tricky words listed at the back of your child’s home reading diary are very important. Please set aside some time each day to read through these words with your child. Make a note of any they do not know yet, and practise these regularly. If you have any concerns, please contact your child's classroom teacher.

Please make sure your child has a jumper in their bag each day as the weather often changes throughout the day.
