REMINDER
This year we have one major improvement target that all staff are focusing on:
12 months growth for all learners. This means that all students, regardless of their
starting point, will be able to demonstrate that they’ve had 12 months worth of
learning in Mathematics and English.
Some strategies to achieve 12 months growth include:
R-5 Tierney Kennedy Project - Fixing Misconceptions in Number
6-7 Peter Sullivan consultancy - Fostering Fluency in Number
R-2 Speech and Oral Language Program
R-7 Margaret Menner consultancy - Reading focus
Coaching program for all teachers
Tracking and monitoring all student learning through staff meetings and
performance and development
To support your child to reach 12 months growth in reading and number, you
can do the following:
Listen to them read every night, or read to them
Talk to them about words they see in their environment - signs, adverts,
newspapers, etc.
Talk about maths in every-day life - prices of groceries, pocket money etc.
Encourage a growth mindset towards learning - remind them that they
can be successful if they persist
Attend school every day!

ASSEMBLY AWARDS
The students have settled into life at school and have discovered that learning is finding out how to do
something new. Each morning they participate in an Investigation Time where they have access to
many different hands on experiences.
This is giving them many opportunities to discover, role play, think, plan, create, communicate, problem
solve, develop social and emotional skills and so much more.
We have had a busy start to Term 1. Not only are we getting used to our new learning space but new
programs as well. We have been lucky enough to have been chosen to participate in a music program
run by Playford International College. Students are learning flute, trombone, clarinet or trumpet. We are
currently making lots of noise, hopefully we can turn that into music soon!
We also enjoyed participating in the recent Virtual Reality incursion. Some of us felt a bit sick but
enjoyed the experience.
Play dough is always lots of fun to explore!
Picture book inspiration ’We could build one of these.’
The ice cream shop is always busy.
