Week 9 Term 3

Wow oh wow it is Week 9 already! How amazing is that. I cannot believe how fast this term has gone! A few things…

Spring Fling
As a celebration of our term and a little ‘classroom warming’ we will be having a ‘Spring Fling’!!! Please see the invitation below. The kids are asked to dress up in their ‘spring best!’ Think bright colours and florals! Please can you bring a small plate to share for our picnic lunch. Girls; a savoury treat and boys a sweet treat.
Athletics Carnival
Tomorrow is the Athletics carnival which commence at 9:15am. The PP classes will do one 50m running race and 2 team games. These will be straight after the Kindy race therefore if the day starts on time, around 9:25am and the team games will be straight after the running race. PP will stay down there for a little while afterwards however will come back to the classroom for the rest of a ‘normal’ day.
Seesaw
From next term, the OLC blog posts will be discontinued, and we will be transitioning to using Seesaw as our main point of communication from parents to teacher/classroom. It is very exciting as we will be streamlining our communication and anything you hear from myself or your child will be through Seesaw. We will be still using emails so please always feel free to communicate that way otherwise messages through Seesaw is another great option. You will see me do a few ‘test’ announcements next week so please react to them if you have read them! Any questions, just let me know.
Assembly
PP will be having their Grandparent themed prayer assembly on Friday the 18th of October. This is Week 2 of Term 4. Just as a little ‘heads up’ we will be asking the kids to dress up as their/a grandparent so, if you have some time over the holidays to organise this costume that would be amazing.

Other things next week
A reminder that we have our Learning Journey afternoon and Dance Concert next week!
Next time you hear from me it will be via Seesaw! Yay! As always, any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out via email or Seesaw.
Many thanks,
Kristie and the PPT Team

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
