Parent Helpers
A note will be sent home Week 3 to let parents know of the days each class would like assistance with parent helpers for 1:1 Reading with the children. We love parent helpers and volunteers BUT as you all realise if you would like to participate in your child’s experiences and learning at school, you must have completed the “Working with children”. This course can be completed online.
Term Overview
Please be on the look out for the term’s overview. Coming your way very soon. This will have the terms topics and focus in each KLA/Libray/Sport Days/General Year One information. This is a wonderful way you can have rich discussions with your child about their learning.
Uniform
Students will be allowed to continue to wear their FULL SUMMER UNIFORM if they wish when they return after the school holidays on Wednesday 26 April up until Friday 12 May.Those students who wish to transition into their winter uniform after the holidays are allowed, of course, to do so. Please note, it is either SUMMER OR WINTER and not a combination of both.
Readers
Readers begin this week! It is important to read with your child every night as this will assist them in their learning. Please view the reading days tab above to see what day your child is reading. We ask that the readers be kept in their bag everyday so allow for students to use these when we have parent helpers.
Topic Talks
This term we are encouraging the children to develop their confidence in speaking in front of an audience. We have prepared weekly topic talks to guide them in this. We ask students to plan a short talk that they will present to their reading group each week. You can find the scehdule in the tabs above.
Students will work on their topic talk at home during the week and then the follow week will present in class. E.g. Student will work on the week 2 topic at home and present this during week 3.
We ask that all topic talks be brought in on Mondays to ensure the children have their talk at school for their allocated day.
