Please bring all your child's books to school. They are kept at school and given out when needed. It is handy if they can be named.
Tuesday : Rice Day. Is anyone able to help cook rice for the children's lunch. One of the parents has kindly offered her rice cooker and I gratefully accept. The rice is to be for lunch at 12:30 am. The children will need to bring $2:00 which will be collected and added to the school coin trail on Friday for the Solomon Island appeal.
The new children are to bring their normal lunch.
Library at 2:15 pm. Please bring a library bag to help protect the books. A Countdown or Pak n Save plastic bag is fine.
Friday: The children bring 50c and dress up in Mufti instead of their uniform. Their is also a coin trail.

The letter name and sounds will start for the new children and be revisited by the other children, particularly those who do not know all letter name and sounds yet.
Ss, Aa, Tt, Ii. If you go to the 'learning' page you will see on the right hand side the categories. There will be clips for these letters. It is very important that the children also just see the capital and small letter on their 'alphabet cards' which will be in their journal cover.
The words they are reading and learning will be on the 'apple tree cards' in their reading bags. The words are 'I am'.
Below is a clip about 'phonics' - letter names and corresponding sounds.
