CRICKET Students had a fantas c me building on skills developed during tennis in Term 1 and applying these to cricket. Students who have finalised payment have received their par cipant pack which includes a cricket bat, ball and bag.
3‐6 News A big welcome back to Term 2! From the conversa ons with the students they thoroughly enjoyed their holidays and loved spending me with family and friends. It was fantas c to see the students at the ANZAC Day service and hear about their many adventures. In our Primary room we are extremely excited about returning to school and ge ng ready for a huge term of learning, sport, friendship and fun! This term we will see events like NAPLAN,
Canberra, Year 6 Linkage program with Murrumburrah High School, cricket by an outside coach, John Heffernan wri ng workshop and Book Fair just to name a few. Today will see the start of Home Learning! We will begin with sight words and ac vi es based around developing reading and comprehension skills. This week has seen the introduc on to many new units and learning experiences. The students and I are extremely excited and eager to con nue and create a love of learning together throughout the up‐coming weeks!
Ms King K‐2 News K/1/2 were all happy to be back at school for Term 2, and ready to learn. We will be focusing on high frequency/core words, and all students will be bringing home 'words they know' and 'words to learn' with a list of ac vi es to help your child develop their vocabulary and spelling. I highly recommend these words are prac ced every night! The students will also have a new password for Study Ladder, if you wish to reac vate your old account the le er provides instruc ons on how to do this. For Kindergarten, Study Ladder ac vi es are a home learning ac vity that will assist your child to further develop their Mathema cs skills they are learning in the classroom. Study Ladder will be used throughout the rest of the year, and I will add Literacy ac vi es too, as the year progresses. Readers will also go home, and remember these are at your child's current level and are chosen to be easily read at home to reinforce their skills and their love of reading. As the term progresses your child will be reassessed and progressed based on their skill level. Mrs Hodson, Mrs Vasey and I are looking forward to wonderful Term 2. Con nued over page
