Week 5 Term 1

Dear Parents and Care givers, Thanks for a great week. I hope you all have some lovely family time planned for your long weekend. A few reminders.... Long weekend Just a reminder that this Monday is a pupil free day for the long weekend. Early Years Conference I will be away in Perth on Thursday of next week presenting at the Early Years Conference. Mindful Wednesdays and Fridays Starting next week, Wednesday and Friday mornings will be dedicated mindful mornings. This means the learning space at the back of the classroom will be unavailable for play during this time. There will be QUIET activities for you and your child to choose from. Please respect the quiet space we have created to ensure a positive and calm learning environment for the rest of the day.  Social skills and Manners Learning how to greet people is an important social skill for children.   We would appreciate it if you could assist your child to respectfully greet their teachers when they arrive at school by making eye

Week 3 Term 1

 Hi Parents and Care givers, Thanks for another awesome week. The kids have adapted really well to their new environment. Hopefully in the new few weeks we will have access to the new Kindy playground for a new and exciting area to play in. You may find your child is coming home exhausted. This is understandable.

We have begun our English and Math learning lessons but are still keeping our afternoons free for less cognitively taxing activities and some free play time. Parent Information Night Thanks to the parents that attended the information evening. For those that couldn't make it the following link to the power point we shared on the night. We also sent home a pack to each family with some further information. Included was the Seesaw invite - please accept so you can see what your child has been up to in the coming weeks. You are welcome to share it with other family memb

As we have said before, quick drop offs work best. The next few weeks will take a lot of adjusting as well with school being 5 full days now. Be prepared for some pretty hefty meltdowns at home. Remember that the kids  have to hold it together all day. Y ou and home are your child's safe place where they can let it all out.   Parent Information night This Tuesday 6th February. PP-Year 2: 5pm followed by information session in the hall for all parents at 5.45pm. Years 3-6 6pm. The PP session will be held in the PP room and will be a joint PPT and PPA session.
