Hi Everyone,

What a beautiful weekend!!! I hope you enjoyed the sun and warmth. It's been a long time coming!!

Sheree Knezevic

This week is Sheree's last week in our classroom. We have loved having her with us for the last 6 weeks (especially me!!). Sadly we have to let her go but hopefully we will see her again!!. She has had such an amazing prac experience in our room and has been able to form such lovely relationships with all of the kids. I know they will miss her too!! I wish her all the best in her teaching, I know she will be loved and thoroughly appreciated where ever she goes.

Vinnies Christmas Appeal

Character Strengths 
Dear Parents, currently at OLC we are focusing on modeling and observing different character strengths. The strengths that we will focus on are taken directly from the VIA Institute for Character. If you wanted to learn more about this please follow the link to the 24 character strengths: https://www.viacharacter.org/character-strengths
This upcoming week we are looking for people who show Perspective. Can you encourage your child to reflect on the following?

7th December – Whole school Christmas Concert (LOCK THIS ONE IN!)

Some updates from Mrs Knezevic...

 Science 

Last week the children looked at the basic needs of a living thing and how they can use their scientific skills to explain this. students look at the needs of plants and animals and discuss if they have the same needs. This week we look at the connection with living things, such as vegetables, and healthy eating.  

English 

This week we will be busy revising activities such as spelling tricky words, looking at strategies we can use when we read, and practice writing sentences. These activities are only a small look at what strategies we will practice to become better at spelling, reading, and writing. 

Maths 

Last week we looked at sharing an amount between to two items. The children made fair share through using objects that they would share in real life scenarios.  

This week we look at ordinal numbers by racing against each other, lining up and ten pin bowling. These activities are engaging and a great way to learn about Mathematics in a fun way. 


Thanks

Kristie Leahy and Sheree Knezevic

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
