Literacy

Each class are studying the same books as last week.

Sight Words

If there is one thing you can do to improve your child's reading - it is learning sight words. Please continue to practise those sight words over and over again. I have been checking each child's reading lately and cannot believe that some children have forgotten words they knew last term!!!! We will be having an extra huge focus on sight words at school for the rest of term.

Oakvale Zoo Excursion

Notes have been sent home about our upcoming excursion to Oakvale Farm and Fauna World. The cost is $38 per child, and this covers bus travel and entry to the zoo. If you did not receive the permission note please contact the office or your child's teacher. The excursion is planned for Friday 9th September. There is space on the permission note to let the teachers know if you are interested in coming along to help out. Once we know how many students are attending we can let you know how many "extra" seats we have available. It is a long, but enjoyable day and I hope we will have lots of extra hands to help us out on the day.
