Welcome to Week 2!

In InitiaLit, we continue our learning of sounds. Last week we met Poppy Princess and Iggy Iguana, the characters who represent the sounds, ‘p’ and ‘I’. This week we meet Fifi Flamingo, the character who helps us learn the sound, ‘f’. Please support your child’s learning of the sounds ‘p’,’i’ and ‘f’ by asking them to show you how they write the letters for the sounds we have been learning and ask if they can name things that begin with the sounds. Sounds taught so far are - ‘m’, ‘s’, ‘t’, ‘a’, ‘p’, and ‘I’. We thank you for your ongoing support of our phonics program.  

In Maths, we continue exploring measurement. So far we have explored length, area and volume and capacity. Our measurement journey this week takes us on investigations where we compare the mass of different objects. 

This Saturday night at 6pm, we have our Mother's Day Family Mass at St Joseph's Church. Our Kindergarten class will be performing a special song. We hope to see all of our Kinder families there.

Advance Notice:

On Thursday 16th May at 2:30pm, we will be hosting a ‘Literacy Workshop’ for parents in the MPC. During this time, we will explain how we are teaching children to read and write in the classroom and how you can support this learning at home. We will also explain our homework routine for Term 2. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Together we are working towards:

"Students will reconnect with their peers and teachers, and maintain a high standard of school attendance."
