Week 11 Term 2

 Wow!! What a long term! We are finally at the last week and are halfway through your child's Pre Primary journey. Your child's foundation year at school is - I think - probably one of the most important years at school.  I am sure you are astounded by how much learning they have done already this year and there is a lot more to be done. So, thank you for your support along the way.  Little things like making sure your child has a reading folder and listening to them read for 5 minutes each night are very important. So, thank you for all that you do!

End of Term

Please make sure that all library and PLD books have been returned, they won't be receiving a new one this week. All home readers should be returned by Wednesday.

Hats will be sent home on Thursday for a wash.  Please make sure you return them on the first day back next term.

If you haven't yet sent the requested family photos, could you please send them this week so we can finalise our learning. (A few photos of immediate and extended family photos and one of family involved in a celebration.)

Semester One Reports 

These are currently being finalised and formal reports will be sent home in electronic form via SEQTA on the final day of term.

NAIDOC week

This week we celebrate NAIDOC week through various activities and a whole school liturgy held on Wednesday. 

Fishing Day in PP

On Tuesday both Pre Primary classes will engage in a fun fishing day to celebrate the end of term. We will be engaging in various fishing related activities and will have fish and chips for lunch.  If your child won't be eating the fish and chips please pack a lunch for them and let me know. Thanks go to Miss Anderson for organising this fun and exciting day.

Crazy Hair Day

Thursday 27th of June is crazy hair day. If your child would like to participate, please provide a gold coin donation.

Thank you for all of your amazing support this semester. The personal growth each child had made is amazing. We are really proud of these very special little people!! 

Thanks, and enjoy some well earned time off!!

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
