In

literacy skills, phonics and alphabet, handwriting, reading and starting the
writing process.
Homework
On
Monday to Thursday your child will bring home a reading book.
On
Fridays your child will bring home a poem book to share.
During the term the
children will also receive spelling words. These words will be basic sight
words, which your child will be seeing in his/her reading and writing
activities. You can find these spelling words on the classroom blog.
Before school
This
term we will be discussing how we can be organised. In Room 16 the children are
encouraged to hang up their bags and put their book bags in the green bucket
when they arrive at school themselves.
Library
Our
library day is Wednesday. The children will bring home one or two library books
each. Please help them to remember to
return them to school each Wednesday so they can choose different books to
share with you at home.
Junior School Assembly
These take place on Friday
at 9.10am. All parents and caregivers are welcome!
Medication

a reminder that if you want the school to administer medicine to your child during
the school day a consent form needs to be filled out. These are available from the office.
