Hello Prep T Families, 

It was wonderful to speak to you all this week about your child’s learning and growth over this year.

This afternoon I have updated next week’s timetables, under the ‘Timetables’ tab at the top of this page. I have added what the children should bring to their groups under ‘materials needed’. While these small groups do run differently to our focus teaching groups at school, they are off to an incredible start and will continue to have an impact on our learning.  I do remind families not to prompt your Prep child with answers. We use those moments of silence and pause as thinking time, and I use those moments to gauge what a child may need further support with. While some lessons in isolation may appear ‘easy’ to an adult, they contribute to larger understandings that develop over time for young children. I thank each family for their support.

Please also note some of the fun we will be having in our morning check-ins in Week 4:

• Wacky Wednesday- Children are asked to bring an item special to them (a photo, spiritual item or a book). We also have a special guest joining us!

• Fun Friday- Children are asked to wear their ‘craziest’ hair!

I wish you all a blessed weekend!

Nathalie.
