Sports Carnival and more.....

A few important reminders....

1.  Faction Sports Carnival.  ​ This will occur on Thursday this week.  The Pres will have a running race and participate in two team games.  These events will begin at 9.15am.  Please drop your child off to the classroom and then move down to the oval to find a good viewing position in the parent's bay.  The children will move down as a class group about 8.50am so please ensure that you arrive at school no later than 8.45am.  All children will be required to wear their faction t-shirt and shorts. Please apply sunscreen to your child before school. The children will watch a couple of events after their own and then move back to the classroom.
Please check the information in the newsletter about faction Sports Carnival. 

2. Sight Words ​ Please continue to review the sight words on a daily basis.  Our in class testing has shown some great knowledge of the first 15 sight words. Your child will only receive a new set of sight words if he/she can correctly read and write the words they currently have. When they are sent home I attach a note that may contain words they need extra practise with.

3. ch and sh.   We have now completed a lot of learning on these two diagraphs.  Please watch for the correct use of these diagraphs in your child's writing and correct them if they have been misused.

4. Home Reading. Please fill in the reading log and return the Home Reading folder to school each day.  If the reading log is not signed then we will not exchange it.  If you would like your child to have the same book again then please indicate this in the log.  We endeavour to change home readers on a daily basic but there are some days when this is difficult to achieve.  If you receive the same reader then use it as an opportunity to reread and deepen the discussions about the text. 

5. Outdoor Classroom Day. ​ On Thursday we participated in the World Outdoor Classroom Day.  It was a wonderful experience.  The children had an amazing day with great learning, beautiful behaviour and beautiful sense of calmness being noticed by all adults present.  I will post some photographs in another blog post to come.  In the meantime have a look at this weeks Early Childhood Corner in the newsletter.

6.  Absentee Notes. ​ We presently have a number of outstanding absentee notes.  Please ensure that you have sent in a signed note for each absence that your child has. 

7. Christmas Shoe Boxes.  Thank you for bringing in the item and $2.50 for the Christmas shoe box appeal. If you haven't brought them in then, please could we have them by the end of this week.

Thank you for your continuing support in PPL as parent helpers. Our mornings are very important learning times which are always enhanced by your amazing help.

Thanks 
Kristie and Alison

Week 2 Term 3

 Dear Parents, Well here we go! Term Four.   I hope that you have all had happy and restful holidays.  My kids and I went to Shark Bay for the first week with my mum and dad. It was great to get out of Dunsborough and was a fun road trip. Not sure my Dad will choose to sit in the back with the kids ever again though!!! We welcome Fraya and her family to PPB this term. There will be a strong emphasis on reading and writing this term in order to prepare your children for the rigour of Year One.  Some ways that you can support your child with their learning are: Listen to your child read EVERY night. Complete the homework reading sheets that are sent home each week.  Practise 'Tricky Words'.  Read them. Write them.  If your child is reversing letters and numerals then model the correct formation for them. Use the printing chart we sent home earlier this year.   Follow up on recommendations from any speech or OT reports. Don't forget to share any further reports you get with me

Welcome to PPT 2024

Dear Parents,  On behalf of the Pre Primary Turner teaching team I would like to extend a warm welcome to the PPT Teal students and families of 2024! The beginning of a new year is always exciting, not only for the students but for the teachers too.  Pre Primary, also known as the Foundation Year, is a very important year in your child's educational journey.   This year they will learn the essential early skills of reading and writing. They will also be introduced to and learn to recognise and understand our base ten counting system. Learning will also include music, dance, HASS, Technology, Science, Kimochis and our Keeping Safe programme. Our first term focuses on learning routines, expected behaviours and getting used to our learning and play spaces. As with last year, both PP classes are sharing a learning space while our new classrooms are being created and will be working closely throughout the year.   It can be a little noisy with 2 classes in the one space so plea
