Welcome to Term 1. What a great week we've had in the P/1/2 room. It's always exciting starting the new year off and welcoming our new preps. Thanks for your continued support. A few things to note:

Fruit Break - this needs to be in a separate container, bag or whole piece of fruit. To save time and energy, we put these in a tub at the start of the day.

Diaries - These need to come back every day. If there's something you need to tell us, please put it in here as they are also checked every day.

Cushions - We'll be starting Mindfulness over the next couple of weeks, so please send in a small cushion to aid in this.

Gardening - We are starting Gardening tomorrow afternoon. If you can come in and help we'd love to have you from 1.45pm - 3pm.

Mobile Library - I will be sending membership forms home tomorrow after we visit the library. If you want your child to be a member, please return the form completed.

Homework - Everyone will get homework this week. The requirement is 10 mins of reading every night. It can be child reading or adult reading. Please also talk about the book. Characters, retell, favourite part, author, illustrator etc to help develop understanding. Preps will have some sound worksheets rather then books.

I look forward to another great fortnight. Please contact me via email with any non-urgent questions, lsand46@eq.edu.au
