Week 2

What a great start to the year! We are settling in nicely, making new friends, trying new activities and getting used to the routines and expectations of school.

Specialist Program

This week we have started our specialist program this week for the students. On a Monday our class has PE with Mr Kendall straight after lunch followed by Music with Mrs Sheeran to finish the day. And on Tuesday mornings between recess and lunch time we have Italian with Signora Di Sera and Signora Naccarata.

Home Reading

Next week we will be sending Home Reading bags with the students. These will include:
• a book for your child to read either independently or with support as needed.
• Yellow Book to record your comment about your child's reading.

Notices
* From now on all notices will be sent home in your child’s yellow Home Reading bag.

Please remember to return notices to the classroom teacher:
• Permission form for child’s image to appear in the newsletter, website or class blog.
• PMP assistance form, we still require parents to assist us with this program.
• Class Contact list

Parent Interviews

This Wednesday and next Wednesday afternoon Prep teachers will have brief meetings (approximately 10 minutes) with parents to find out more about their children.
Please ensure that you have signed up for a time to meet with your child’s teacher on the doors outside the entrance to the Prep classrooms.

Butterflies

Last week we received some butterfly eggs in the mail from the Melbourne Zoo. We are watching, observing and monitoring how they grow and change from eggs to caterpillars to butterflies over the term. They have already hatched and doubled in size. They are enjoying eating the leaves of my lemon tree.
We’ll keep you posted on how they are going.

Have a fantastic week!
