Year PPT OLC

Dear Parents, Five more days and we will be half way through Preprimary.  Your little people have worked incredibly well so far this year and have made wonderful personal progress.  We already have readers and writers and budding mathematicians! They are a very enthusiastic bunch and love to learn making our job a joy!  Reports. Reports will be emailed out at the end of term.  Please keep an eye out for them. Each one of these reports has taken many hours to prepare.  If you would like to talk about your child's report at the beginning of next term I am more than happy to take some time to have a chat.   Pyjama Day On Friday the 2nd of July.  Our last day of term.  We would like to slow down the pace a little and reward the children for being so amazing. So.... we are going to have a PJ Day.  In the morning we will have a 'Read In", choosing a favourite book (or books) to read and then completing some activities based around this book.  The children may like to bring a rug

 Hi Parents, Following the Speech and Occupational therapy screens that were completed earlier this term, Potential Therapy Services has devised some opportunities for further skill development for your child. Not all children require one-on-one therapy, however some do require some extra support in certain areas. This can be successfully given by parents.

Last Friday Beau Butterly's (PPB) Grandparents came in and on Tuesday Brysen's (PPB) Nanna Vicki popped in during her lunch break.  We now how well over 20 plants potted off and we hope to add many more to our stash.   We have done so much potting that we have used up all our spare pots so  please send in some empty pots for us to fill! Literacy We have now taught the sounds for each of the following letters:  m, s, t, a, p, i, r, f, o, c, d, h, e, n, g, l It is important that the children become fluent at recognising these letters. A great way to help at home is to play 'Snap' with these letters making sure your child says the correct sound for each letter as it is played. You can make up your own set of snap cards on squares of paper or c
