Welcome back....sort of. Term 2

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to Term 2!! I hope you have all enjoyed being at home as much as you could. I've loved being able to slow down and spend time with my kids. I have had a look at all of the amazing work being posted on SeeSaw. It is a really easy way of showing how we going. I loved seeing everyone and especially hearing their voices!!
Again, this Terms learning will be happening at home unless you need to go back to work. The children who come to school will be doing the same work as those who are learning from home. We will do our best at adhering to social distancing rules and keeping manipulatives clean.

Term 2
Tomorrow (Tuesday) we will post the home learning plan for Week One.  This will be supported by a home learning package that can be picked up from school either today or Tuesday.  When planning our home learning we take into account the fact that parents have to fit home learning around their daily timetables.  Whilst we have put together a simple timetable we do not expect you to adhere to this and want you to adjust your learning sessions to times that work for both you and your child.  The use of  the SEESAW programme is very important so if you have not yet logged in please do so.  If you are experiencing difficulty with SEESAW then please let me know.

All children MUST wash their hands before entering the classroom and parents are not permitted in the room. Formal handwashing will occur regularly during the day.
Mr Lee has sent out a information explaining drop off and pick up routines.
If your child is unwell they must not come to school.

Whether your child is at home or at school the teachers are here for you.  I am more than happy to give you a phone call to chat about any issues that you are having or concerns that are worrying you.
Just email me to arrange a suitable time.
Dependent on weekly numbers, Mrs Birch and I may take turns to teach thus allowing each other time to make contact with our learners at home.  We would normally be differentiating between the two groups and team teaching in Term Two anyway.

Beginning of Term Drive By
We will be having a Welcome Back To Term 2 Drive By on Tuesday 28th April at 11am

Devices
Thank you to those who have already let me know what access you have to devices at home. This will help me to plan activities for everyone. If you haven't already told me could you please let me know as soon as possible.

Mathletics
Mathletics is up and running now too for your child to access. There are a few activities assigned at the moment and will be updated over time. If you don't have your child's log in just send me an email and I'll forward it to you.

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

Week 6 Term 4

Dear Parents,  Preparation for Year 1 In order to prepare the children for Year 1 we would like parents to allow your child to become more independent in their school day. We ask that you begin these things this week until the end of term: allow your child to place their own water bottle and reading folders in the correct places allow them to find and complete their own Tricky Word find booklet allow them to carry their own bag to and from the classroom kiss and drop at the door (this will also decrease the noise level in the mornings and allow your child to complete the tricky words independently) A reminder of the Dance concert this Friday:  Junior Primary Dance Concert Details: ​​​​When: Friday, 17th November (Week 6) Time: 2.00pm start (roughly a 45-minute show) Where: Hall The theme for the show is Animals! Please go as minimal or as extravagant as you like! COSTUME REQUIRMENTS **PLEASE NOTE STUDENTS WILL ONLY NEED TO BRING THEIR COSTUME TO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY 17 TH  NOVEMBER** -PPL-
