Week 1 Term 2

Hi Everyone,

I hope you have had an amazing break. We couldn't have asked for better weather. My kids and I had a week at Hamelin Bay with some friends and some family time celebrating my dad's 75th birthday. It all went too quick but we really appreciated the break. 

This term I will be taking each Friday as long service leave and will be replaced by Chelsea Torrese. Chelsea met our class last term while doing a few relief days so the kids are familiar with her. 

New telling begins this term - Speaking and Listening

Each student has the opportunity to tell news once a fortnight. Please see the following roster or use this link to open the file. News Roster term 2




Please remember to bring hats back to school tomorrow.
Mrs Sweeny is away for a couple of days but will back very soon. We also welcome back Mrs Hegney after her amazing time away in Spain.

I look forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow.
Thanks
Kristie Turner

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

Week 3 Term 3 Mission Markets

 Hi Everyone, The learning in Pre Primary is really picking up pace now so remember... if you have any questions please make sure you check in with me.  English. Letter Sound Knowledge. Our focus letters for Week 3 and 4 are...      ss   ck  ll w ff.    When 2 letters join to make 1 sound it is called a digraph. The students have been taught this terminology. 'ss', 'ck', 'll' and 'ff' are all digraphs (2 letters making 1 sound). The children will be asked to read Consonant Vowel Consant (CVC)  words that use these letters and ones that they have already learned like... eg.     well   kick   fuss   sack   moss   huff    We are beginning to read sentences that use taught tricky words and regular reading words that use the sounds we have covered. eg. Jess fell off the rock. Jack will miss the bus.  Our focus Tricky Words will be...  his, her, them, there, have, of, here, with Writing: Not only are we learning to write words by saying the sounds we can hea

Week 7 Term 2

Dear Parents and Carers, I hope you had a lovely extra long weekend. I've managed to catch up with family and had a bit of forced down time. The weather has kept us pretty quiet. Please read on so you know what we are currently up to..... Literacy Last week we began our writing in gathering time. As I have previously mentioned, each student is allocated 2 mornings a week where they will experiment with writing. We encourage any writing attempt and will be available to help. We would like to see the students begin to use their letter/sound knowledge in their writing attempts along with their new 'tricky word' knowledge. It has been so exciting to see some of the students discovering some tricky words in the books they are looking at. If they are doing this at home, encourage them to write each tricky word they find and to read them back to you as often as possible. If your child can automatically recognise tricky words, this will make their reading experience a lot easier an
