Kinder Pearls are having fun each week doing directed drawings with Ms Kernaghan and Ms Renee. This week we learnt the letter ‘m’ so we tried our hands at drawing monkeys. Not bad!!
The aim of the Home Reading Scheme (run throughout
the school) is to increase children’s reading skills and
their enjoyment of books. Reading is an essential and
enjoyable lifelong skill. Every student has now received
their diary which allows them to record each night of
Home Reading that they complete including weekends
and holiday periods. Books appropriate for your child’s
reading abilities will be provided. Any reading material,
e.g. library books and books from home can be recorded
too. Check out the diary for further information. This
year, Home Reading prizes will be awarded for 10, 50,
100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 nights of reading. A list of
prizes can be found on the back cover of the diary.
