Some students in Year 1 have curently reached the highest level they can complete on their Mathletics Account. Elke has been collating a list of these students and is awaiting a response on how to get students into the next level.

Please see her if your child/ren have also completed this level so she can follow up with it.

In the meantime, there is a list of other Maths and Literacy learning activities on the Linked/Web-section of the Blog which you get to by scrolling to the bottom of the page. Some sites require parents to sign up.

Welcome Back to Term 3

Welcome back to a new term in the Year 1 Neighbourhood! We trust you have all had fantastic break.

Sia will return to school on Monday.

It is important for everybody to remember to bring in their Readers' and Writers' Notebooks to school daily, inlcuding the plastic pocket to transport books and notices safely. If your child has finished the notebook or has mislaid it, please purchase a replacement or see your homegroup teacher. We are really encouraging daily reading for all children to improve fluency and understanding, including reflections and written response to what is read. Please refer to the notice inside the book.

Thanks!
