Homework Week 7

During theme week there will be no homework sent home. The children should all have received a template for decorating their feathers for the bird costumes for our assembly in week 9. This can be their homework for the week.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Cheers,
Joy

Theme week reminder

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that theme week is coming up next week and it is looking like a fun filled foodie week!

On Tuesday the 2nd of September, the children will have a whole school shared lunch in the hall and on Friday the 5th of September, we have a whole school creative food competition.

The children have been sent home with a letter that outlines all the categories that the children can enter, should they wish to.

Please send any slips stating what your child is entering into back to school. The last day for submitting these is coming Monday the 1st of September.

Room 1, 2 and 3 will also be making their own pizza's on Thursday from 11am-12:25pm. Could we please have 2 parent helpers from Room 3 to assist in making these?

The notices outlining the finer details for these events have already gone out to the children this week should you need more information about the activities for theme week.

Enjoy the weekend and I look forward to a fun week with the kids next week.

Kind Regards,
Joy Kraan

Classroom Open Day



Hi Everyone,

Next Wednesday the 3rd of September from 3-5pm, there will be a classroom open day for the year 1's. This will be a time for you to come and have a look in the classroom and let your child show you around and tell you about what they do in class. 

This is not a time to discuss your child's progress, rather to come and look around at what the kids have been doing.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers,

Futures education presentation




Hi Everyone, 

As you are all aware, I have been in the process of gaining my master's degree this year. The focus of the course that I am doing looks at out education system, where is came from, what the purpose of education is and we have been discussing what it should be in light the trends we observe today that have a direct impact on the future of our children.

There is an interesting presentation being offered to anyone who is interested in this topic and would like to hear more. I will be going to this too. 

I have attached the document here for you to look at. If you would like to attend, please do RSVP to the contact on the sheet. 

Kind Regards, 
Joy Kraan

Hi Everyone,

Just letting you know that this week we are having a Studyladder homework week.

Summer: Sight words List 1 (Red tag)
Autumn: Sight Word 2 (Orange tag)
Winter: Sight words List 1 (Blue tag)


Math's activities

Squares: using the number line

Hexagons: addition of numbers less than 5

Cheers,
Joy
