1/2K OLC

  Good afternoon parents, I hope you had a lovely long weekend and enjoyed some of that amazing sunshine we had! I was cooped up at home busily writing the end of Year reports. I have loved looking back at the children's learning and I have been blown away at how far they have come! I'm not even going to talk about how hard it will be to send this class off next year to the big wide world of Year Two and Three! A few reminders for the last couple of weeks... Vinnie's Appeal A reminder that we are collecting pantry,non perishable items...if you can please have them in by the end of Week 8, we would be very appreciative! Excursion - Meelup Beach  A note regarding the ECC excursion will be coming home this week. We are waiting on a few last minute people to get back to us and confirmation of policies so the excursion can be a great end to a wonderful year! We are looking forward to celebrating with the junior years with cultural learning integrated with a day of fun in the sun

 Dear Parents,  I hope you had a lovely weekend and that your little munchkins weren''t on too much of a sugar rush after a big Halloween weekend! The children sounded like they had an absolute ball and I know there were also some parents who had a wonderful night too! A few pieces of information:  PRAYER ASSEMBLY Next Friday we will be performing our Prayer Assembly based on the theme of 'NAIDOC' week. Unfortunately Admin has directed that we are not yet allowed parents at assemblies so I will aim to record the assembly for you to view at your leisure. We will be learning to sing the Aboriginal Our Father song and explaining to the school the meaning of NAIDOC, our local Wardandi people and the Aboriginal flag meaning. Your child may come home with a reading tomorrow to practise. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help your child learn their reading over the week in lead up to our prayer performance on Friday.   If your child will not be attending school on F

Dear Parents,  What a wonderful start to the final term we have had! This sunshine has a way of putting everyone in a good mood and the kids have loved getting out mid morning for our morning fitness in this glorious weather and to break up our jam-packed morning of reading, writing and spelling. The children have responded so well to our new InitiaLit Literacy program and I can already see some of the wonderful benefits of this program...including the 'suffix' song which the students have learnt that my ability to hit the high notes in songs is definitely not one of my strengths but the 'bossy e' rap is much more my dorky jam!  Feel free to click on the InitiaLit link in the previous blog for more information about this new literacy program we are trialling before full implementation next year.  New Student - This term we welcome Lexi Dearlove in our class as a new Year 2 student.  Lexi has settled in so well and has become a great addition to the 1/2K team.  Her sist

 Hello Year 1/2K parents,  Welcome back to another busy term - I absolutely can't believe it is our last term together! I have loved watching our little loves develop and mature as the year has progressed and I am so very proud of  all of  their hard work. I will be sad to say goodbye to them at the end of the year for sure!   I hope you all had a lovely holiday and got to enjoy some of those beautiful days in the sun! Just a few things for this term...     INITIAL LIT PROGRAM   This term we are trialing a new whole class initial instruction in Literacy program called Initial Lit.  This program requires strict time tabling and therefore we will be swapping our daily fitness to a mid-morning break and starting our explic i t teaching session at 8:50am. Unfortunat ely, this means that we will not be able to chat with you after the 8:40am bell in preparation for this first mat session. If you have anything you need to tell us, please email us.    If your child is late, please sign the
