A big thank you to everyone for your support and patience while I have been at home with covid - I guess we'll all get a dose eventually but we'll be doing everything we can to delay that as much as possible. Masks, hand sanitising and cleaning surfaces continue to be part of our daily routine. It's quite amazing how different the symptoms are from person to person so if in doubt, please test. I had no symptoms during the day but at home felt a slight chill so decided to test just in case. I was 97% sure that it would be negative. Thank goodness our wonderful Mrs Kusabs was able to jump in.
A few reminders:
Cross Country 2022
On Thursday 2nd June we will be holding our annual Cross Country for Year 4-6 in the Redwoods.
Please, if you haven't yet filled out the cross country form you need to even if your child isn't planning to take part. At this stage only 14/26 of our Room 14 families have completed this info.
School Photos
School photos are scheduled for tomorrow. Please make sure your children are tidy and that hair is tied back. Would you also please check that school jerseys are named so if students need to take off their jerseys they won’t get mixed up.
Structured Literacy Parent Information Meeting.
Are you curious about the new approach to spelling and reading taking place at school? You may have learnt a little about this at your parent conference this week.
Come along and learn about the structured literacy approach, what this means for your child and how you can support their learning at home.
Our consultant, Marion Kirby from Learning Matters will give you a brief overview of how the brain learns to read - you may learn a thing or two yourself!
