Spelling is Fun in 1Purple

We are getting so good at spelling that our minds are always excelling.

Bronte Public School Page 4

We write 3 of our spelling words into meaningful sentences.

We say the word aloud and put down a sticker for every sound we hear. In 1P we say the letters aloud, using clustering and

write the whole word again underneath.

We are extremely “Smart Spellers” in 1 Purple!

BULLETIN Principal’s Message

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to all parents who attended the student led confer-

ences this week. The students love sharing their work with

you. A special mention goes to our amazing teachers who

have been doing a lot of work creating learning goals to

support students to improve their skills and knowledge in

literacy and numeracy.

On Monday night I had the pleasure of seeing the Bronte

Dance Ensemble perform on stage at the State Dance Fes-

tival. It was beautiful! Thank you to Ms Olander, who is

currently supporting classes prepare for our biannual con-

cert that next term.

The school fair raised $60 000. Thanks again everyone for

your time and effort supporting the school. The money is

used for many initiatives at school including the student

toilet upgrade, and extension and support classes for our

students. Mr B organises a number of initiatives such as

debating and Maths Olympiad (to name just two) and Ms

Fizzell supports students who need help with numeracy

and literacy.

This week teachers acknowledged the work of our SASS

staff by hosting a special lunch for them. These people are

the unsung heroes of our school—the office staff, the

handymen and our classroom support aides. Bronte

School would not operate effectively without them.

Are you a plumber ? We need help to connect a bubbler

later in the year.

One little request—please encourage your child to walk

their bike or skateboard out of the school after the bell

rings. This will help keep our playground safe!

MOBILE PHONES

Bronte Public School allows children to have mobile phones with them for before and after school use but the following rules are applied during all school hours (including before school and after school )

No phones are to be used in the playground or classrooms without the permission of the class teacher or school executive.

No photos or videos can be taken or recorded on a device during school hours.

Where a parent needs to contact their child for messages, they should do so by talking to their teacher.

New technology brings amazing opportunities for us all. Parents and educators must ensure that such opportunities bring positive learning experiences. Supervision and education are the keys to success.
