Dear readers,
Week one done and dusted! I have a feeling this term is going to fly by!
Congratulations to Room 22 for being Library Legends in Term 3! Simone will be throwing us a party to celebrate how we have shown Respect, Care and Safety throughout the term.
1. We are in the process of testing children on their spelling progress for the Oxford words. We aim to send home the most up-to-date list for them to practise at home by the end of this week.
2. This term, we are exploring time concepts, including reading analogue and digital clocks. If your child has access to an analogue clock or watch (i.e one with numerals and hands – see photo) at home, it should greatly enhance their ability to make connections as we investigate time. Any incidental opportunities that you have to discuss time as it relates to your child’s life (e.g the sequencing of time, the duration of an after-school activity) will also be beneficial.
3. Your child will soon come home with log-on details so they can access e-books to use as an alternative to their hard-copy readers. These e-books have been selected at a level for your child to read with confidence, fluency and enjoyment.
4. Thanks to everyone that has donated tissues and hand wash. It’s greatly appreciated.
5. A friendly reminder that consent and payment for our zoo excursion was due last week. We have attached another photo of the note that we sent home, FYI.
6. This term, our weekly sharing/topic talks will be about endangered animals. Please look out for more information about these talks and a weekly schedule.
7. Lateness: Please note, if your child arrives at school between 8:50 and 9:00, they will now have their lateness recorded in the classroom. If they arrive at school after 9:00, they need to go to the office to have their lateness recorded.
8. Please see attached note for more information about our Child Protection Curriculum this term.
Here is a photo of the children enjoying a tennis session
Thanks for your support.
Kind regards,
Marie 😁
