Welcome to Term 1

Dear Parents,

 

Welcome to Room 28's class blog. We will be posting on here regularly to keep you up to date with things we are doing in class and any important messages!

 

It has truly been a fantastic start to Year One. We have been extremely busy settling into brand new routines, which we are continuing to master. The students have embraced all new learning tasks with such a positive attitude and are very keen to do their best. It has been an absolute pleasure to witness this and we know that we will have a great year together.

 

Just a reminder that this Friday will be dressing up for Australia Day which happened over the school holidays. Students may bring in a gold donation and wear free dress and Australia Day themed clothes.

Home Learning In wake of the recent events, the Education Department has set up an online site called 'Learning at Home,' for those at home during these times. Resources are available across all Year Levels and many Learning Areas . You can access the site from this link here https://www.education.wa.edu.au/learning-at-home Furthermore, I encourage all children to continue to read books from home every night. Keep up with the reading; as much as possible. It is so important. Please also log into Studyladder – https://www.studyladder.com.au/ . This website has a variety of Literacy and Numeracy activities that are linked to what we have been learning this Term in Room 28. The student’s passwords will be posted on the emailed to each parent as well as glued into the side of their Practice Time book, if they have been at school. Check in regularly at the WGPS blog and Room 28’s blog as we are currently investigating some other useful sites and resources for home learning.
