Dearest Prep RT Families,

Today marks our final day of Term 3 Remote Learning. All our little learners AND families deserve a well-earned break. 

We commend each and everyone of you for the efforts you have put into guiding your child through term 3. You all have a lot to celebrate! 

Prep teachers are beginning to organise some exciting learning opportunities for Term 4, and we can’t wait to share these experiences with the children. 

We have set goals for each child based on what we have noted during Remote Learning and will notify all families of these at the end of the holidays. These will be posted on Seesaw for each family to view. 

If you are wanting your child to complete work, Wushka and StuddyLadder can still be accessed. Wushka book boxes will not be updated as we must ensure there will be enough for term 4. We expect children to read a book more than once to help build fluency and comprehension skills. On the Prep Blog at the end of each week there are suggestions on extra activities that can be completed. 

We look forward to seeing  our prep family next term.

Have a safe and happy holiday. 

With kindness,

Sian and Marcelle

Our Google Meet Morning

Draw a Three Eyed Monster!

Tomorrow is Footy Colours Day!

Dear families,

Thank you for another incredible week. It’s been lovely to have a chat to each child this week and also look at what they now know in maths. Next week each child will have another 1:1 meet on the same day and time. The timetable is under the tab ‘timetables’. 

If your child sees Ms Walker or Mrs Gauci these groups will still run as normal. 

The Animal Posters that the children have been busy creating this week have been outstanding. Some children even dressed up as the animal they were writing about! 

Next Friday 18th September is the last day of term 3, so we are inviting the children to wear their footy clothes, outfits or colours. This is of course optional.

We hope you all have restful weekend as we count down until holidays.

Warm regards,

Sian and Marcelle  

Hello Prep RT families,

If you could please take 2-3 pictures of your child in their animal outfit today and post on Seesaw. If  they are not in an outfit they could have a picture with their toy.

We look forward to seeing our little preps shortly.

Dear Prep RT Families,

First of all we need to give our  little prep learners a big applaud. Despite all that is going on at the moment, they have been soldering on everyday and showing great resilience. These little heroes really need to be acknowledged.

Secondly to all our wonderful families, you’re all doing a tremendous job! It is defiantly hard and sometimes quite challenging, we understand as we both have families to juggle ourselves. Please know you all deserve to be acknowledged and applauded for the effort you’re putting in to ensure your child is getting the most out of learning at home.

We hope you all enjoyed our Magical School Bus week and the children were able to have some fun and laughter. We have loved seeing some of the photos posted on Seesaw of their wonderful zoo adventures.

Please ensure you post 2-4 pictures (if possible) of your child completing some of the zoo activities. They can pretend to be feeding the animals, exploring, taking a photo etc… We will need these photos posted by Saturday 5th so we have time to create something special to show the children next week.

Things to note:

• Week 9 there will be a 1:1 meet with each child for half an hour. Please ensure you have checked the schedule which was posted yesterday and can also be found on the weekly timetable. Please ensure your child does not enter until their allocated time slot. This will ensure the child before is not interrupted.
• Friday 11th September children are invited to dress up as their favourite animal. They could also bring a toy if they do not have or want to get dressed up. This is of course optional.

This Sunday 6th September marks Father’s Day. We hope all the dads and special males in your lives have a fun filled day. We’re sure there will be plenty of zoom and face-time meets with family members celebrating in a very different way this year.

Warm regards,

Sian & Marcelle

Dear Prep RT Families,

During Week 9 (Monday 7th Sept- Friday 11th Sept), Prep teachers will be timetabling half hour “check- ins” with each child in lieu of our Reading and Maths focus groups. 

It would be helpful if children could please wear headphones and have their Remote Learning Pack on hand.

Please refer to the timetable below to see your child’s scheduled time slot. 

Check- in code is: preprt

We kindly ask that children do not log into their meet before their scheduled time, so as not to interrupt the check-in of the child prior. 

Warm regards,

Sian & Marcelle

Hello there wonderful families,

Pictures could be:

– Completing a task

-Wearing a hat while they listen to zoo keepers

– Pretending to feed one of their favourite animals they saw.

Please note this is optional.

Warm regards,

P.S. You’re all doing a tremendous job to keep our little learners motivated and going strong.
