Year PPT OLC

  Dear Parents,  I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  It is hard to believe that we have reached the half way point of term two already.     News Just a reminder of the news days. English Our current tricky words to learn are -  I  my  the  a  is   and we are about to learn  was   you  and  to.    Although we have a lot of fun with these words at school, it would be beneficial to your child to practise these at home.  The children will need to be able to both read and write these words.  Have fun with this!  Write them in the sandpit, on the steamy shower screen, on the bath with bath crayons, on the pavement with water on a paint brush, with chalk on a board or textas on a whiteboard.  My son disliked practsing his tricky words so I wrote them on paper plates, stuck them to his bedroom roof, turned off the lights and lay on the bed with him 'spotting' the words with a torch.  Lots of fun!   Crafty kids may like to glue and collage their words or paint them.

PPB kids will continue to be picked up from the double doors. PPL kids will be dismissed through the back door (door facing the new year 6 classrooms closest to the oval). This should alleviate some of the congestio
