Week 4 Term 4

  Dear Parents,  A huge thank you for the amazing teacher love!! World Teachers Day felt very much like my birthday!!  I love teaching all of your beautiful children and I appreciate their amazing parents!!! The P&F put on a lovely morning tea for all of the teachers and this too was greatly appreciated.  Spot it. Read it. Write It - Tricky Words The morning Spot it, read it, write programme is proving to be very effective,  popular... and noisy.....  In order to curb the noise we are encouraging parents to let their children do this independently now that they know what they are doing.   Well done to those parents who are now dropping and kissing.  You are helping your children to build resilience and setting your children up for success next year.  Don't forget to keep practising those pesky Tricky Words at home too.  Grandparents Day We would love the children to bring in their grandparents on this Friday for Grandparents Day.  There will be an assembly in the hall at 9am fo

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
