Sound Cards and Tricky Word Cards
Included in the home reader folder are sound cards and tricky word cards. These are high-frequency words that may not follow regular phonics rules. While parts of these words can sometimes be sounded out, they often need to be learned by heart through repetition. Daily practice at home is a great way to build your child’s confidence and reading fluency. Be sure to check the blog video each week for updates on which sounds and tricky words we’re focusing on in class! Please ensure your child’s homework folder is brought to school every Monday and Friday. This allows us to add new materials and check completed work. Thank you for your support in helping your child stay organised and ready to learn!

100 Days of Kindergarten 
What an amazing day we had celebrating 100 Days of Kindergarten! A huge thank you to all families for taking the time to attend and for dressing your beautiful little oldies so wonderfully – it made the day extra special and fun for everyone involved!

We’d like to say a very special thank you to:

• Tiarne Carney for generously volunteering her time to take professional photos of the children in costume.
• Luke Moy for creating the incredible cake – it was absolutely delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by both kids and teachers!                                                                                                                                         Please check the next grade blog to see the adorable photos from the day!

Uniform Reminder
We’ve noticed a few students wearing incorrect uniform items such as stockings, jumpers, socks, hair accessories, and jewellery. We kindly ask that all students wear the correct school uniform each day. If you're unsure about uniform guidelines, please refer to the Parent Handbook or contact us directly.

As we wrap up a wonderfully busy term, we want to thank you for your ongoing support and involvement. We are so proud of all the progress your children have made.

Have a safe, relaxing, and beautiful holiday break! We can’t wait to see you all again for an exciting Term 3!
