Dear Families and Friends
Being on time and ready to learn.
At the start of every year and throughout the year, students are learning how important it is to be on time and ready to learn. Students are reminded that being organised is the key to getting the most out of their learning so time is not wasted and tasks can be completed properly.
One way to do this is for children to make sure their desks are tidy and their equipment is ready to use for the day.
Arriving at school on time also ensures a good start to the day and gives the children time to get their belongings organised and ready.
Being on time and organised is a life-long skill which we should all try to instil in every student. It is something that they can transfer to extra-curricular activities and everyday life.
If you discuss this with your children and try to make being organised and on time a priority in your life, it can help the whole family too.
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC NEWS
Instrumental Lessons and Band have started!! Band practice is every Tuesday morning at 7:50am in the hall. Lessons with Mr Yates will be every Tuesday. Ms Dianne Munns visits every Wednesday from 12-3 and conducts lessons for the Beginner students.
Now that the days are starting to get warmer please remember that it is an expectation that all children wear hats during play times and PE lessons. The rule is “No Hat, no Play!”
