We have had a wonderful start to Term 4! This blog contains a lot of important information about the next few weeks of Term 4.<\/p>

Thank you for sending your child to school with a hat this week. We find it helpful for your child to keep their hat at school as this ensures that your child always has one!<\/p>

<\/div>

Literacy<\/h3>
We have launched straight back into our literacy and maths learning this week. Some children are with a different literacy group this term. At the conclusion of each term, we run a series of assessments to ensure that children are working at their correct instructional stage. It has been exciting to see the ongoing progress of our literacy learners!<\/div>

<\/div>
If you have any Little Learners texts at home, please send them back to school. We are giving out one house point per book returned. <\/div>

<\/div>

Maths<\/h3>
Our maths focus for the first four weeks of this term is Time. We have started this with learning the days of the week (reading, writing, counting forward and back the days, and sequencing), and next week we move into learning about the months of the year and reading a calendar. We will also touch on telling the time on digital and analogue clocks in the coming weeks. Please feel free to have a chat with your child\/ren about what they are learning, and reinforce this at home.<\/div>

<\/div>

Library<\/h3>
Please note that library days have changed for some. Emma and Katie's home groups go to the library on Tuesday<\/b>, and Krystal and Megan's home groups go to the library on Thursday<\/b>. Please ensure that your child has their library folder on their library day.<\/div>

Here is the social story that we have shared with the children in preparation for the day.<\/div>
