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!

Parent Helpers

If parents have any spare time, Home Reading book boxes need some sorting, placing the books in the correct box. If you are able to assist before the end of the term or early next term, it would very much be appreciated.

Thanks

Late Arrivals on Tuesdays

If you arrive late on Tuesday and homegroups have already started making their way to assembly, can you ask students to place bags next to the stair well rather than on it? Many thanks!

Library Books

All library books should be returned before the end of the term. Thanks!
