Welcome Back
Welcome
back to what was Room 23. The school has grown so much, that the
rooms needed to be re-numbered, so we are now Room 18.
I
hope everyone has had a great holiday and is ready for an exciting year.
As
you may have noticed, there is a new tab on the blog. This is for
Motivational Work.
All
motivational work is set every Monday and needs to be completed by Friday,
ready for marking. Please print any English and Mathematics worksheets, put them into your Motivational Folder and complete. All
work must be presented in a neat and tidy condition, just like in
class.
Children
have received their Practice Journal. It has been designed so that
everything they need for practise at home is on one weekly page. Your child must remember to bring it to school every day.
Home
practise is an essential part of your child's education. It is very important
for consolidating what has been learnt in class and is also a valuable method
of helping parents understand and support what is being learnt in the
classroom. Home practise should only take up half an hour every
night. Each week you child will record their weekly spelling list, the
phonic words we are studying for the week, their reading words to learn, their daily
home reading book and any motivation work for the week.
Please
tick or comment where your child has succeeded and initial that the work has
been done. It has been my experience that where students consistently
practise at home, they are more successful than students who do not.
Aussie Day
Friday 12th February is Aussie Day at Wattle Grove Primary School. Your child can come to school dressed in Aussie gear, but no thongs thankyou.
Please bring a donation for the Yarloop Bushfire Appeal.
