Book Week
The Book Week dress-up parade was on Friday 20th August.
The students looked fantastic and a big thank you to all the parents and carers
for putting together their costumes.
Sports Carnival
The Kindy/Pre-primary sports carnival has been postponed
until Term 4 due to the wet weather and condition of the oval.
No Trash Tuesday
In accordance with our school’s Sustainability plan, our
goal is to significantly reduce our school’s waste.
No Trash Tuesday is an initiative which encourages students
and families to take a mindful approach to reducing the waste we
produce. Packing a lunchbox with no waste is both environmentally
friendly and responsible.
Tip: Try to use re-usable containers rather than
bringing pre-packaged items.
Literacy
Phonics
We have been working on blending 4 letter words together,
such as flat and sent.
Writing
This term we have been learning about narratives. A
narrative is a made up story. It should be entertaining. A narrative has a
beginning, a middle and an end. The characters should have a problem that they
solve. Here are 2 story maker websites were children can make their own stories
by choosing the parts to include in their story.

We have been working hard to improve the presentation of the
students written work. In particular, we have focused on form the letters
correctly using the Victorian modern cursive formations. Please see us if you
need a new letter formation sheet.
Sight Words – We have now finished the orange set of
words and will be moving onto the indigo sight words.
Little Learners Love Literacy have free phonic reading books
available on the Apple App Store until the 13th of September.
News
Students are only able to bring their item/object to present
for news on their allocated day. Please do not allow your children to bring any
toys, stickers or other item to school.
Maths
Our focus has been small number addition and subtraction.
Knowing which numbers combinations make each of the numbers to 10. A good game
to play to support this is Save the Whale on www.ictgames.com
This website also has a number of games to support their
literacy and numeracy development.
