Foundation

     Foundation               

Welcome to a new year! 

 

ATTENDANCE REMINDER:-  Foundation students will NOT be required to attend school on Wednesdays during February except for their scheduled interview time only until the week of Wednesday March 5th  which will be their first full week of school.

 

LIBRARY BAGS/ART SMOCKS:- If you have not supplied a named Art smock or Library bag, could you please do so. Library bags are not the blue satchels (unless you have two). The students have been given a red bag from the State Government which can be used as a library bag if you haven’t got one already.

 

TIMETABLE:- Please ensure that on Thursdays your child has suitable uniform for active play ie. Runners.

Tuesdays we have Auslan and ART.

Wednesdays we have STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education

Thursdays we have PE.

Library times are yet to be finalised.

ASSEMBLY:- Will run on Friday at 3.00pm. Keep your eye on communication from the school website, newsletters, emails, Facebook page, Sentral app and SeeSaw for notification of any changes to the assembly. Parents are welcome to attend.

 

COMMUNICATION:- Nar Nar Goon Primary School has a variety of methods we will be using to communicate with you for different purposes. Please check and return your child’s blue satchel daily.

  • Information regarding connecting to the class SeeSaw app is being distributed, and this will be our main avenue of communication for class specific announcements, celebrating student work and an avenue for parent/teacher communication.
  • The school Sentral app is a whole school communication portal where student absences are recorded and where student reports will be uploaded. We also hope to have notices for excursions managed through here in the near future.
  • The school website is another avenue whereby absences can be recorded. It is also where families can source school program information and it is important families register for the school newsletter here. Parents also find the Facebook page a useful source of information.

PROGRAMS:- We have a strong focus in Term 1 on student wellbeing and routine. We will begin the year with our Personal Development Programs "Bright Beginnings" and "Play Is The Way," where students learn personal skills and explore concepts through games and activities, to set us up for a productive and successful year! Students will be exposed to phonological awareness through the Sound Waves program. We will use the data gained from our English and Numeracy Interview for targeted learning.  Our Numeracy focus will be on Number, Graphing and problem solving and students will join our whole school Open Learning program formally in Term Three. Our Inquiry focus this term is History. Students will be exploring local Indigenous culture and their own families, to help develop important concepts of "Then and Now." 

 

PARENT HELPERS:-There are many opportunities to be involved in the classroom. Our Open Learning Maths program runs on Tuesday mornings from 9.15-10 am. (from Term 3) We will require helpers for our Literacy programs later in the term. More information to follow. There are also opportunities to support the school through our friendly team on PAFA. (Parents and Friends Association) You are welcome to attend our PAFA AGM when dates are announced through the newsletter.

Please remember to sign up for the school newsletter online and label everything. We are looking forward to sharing lots of fun and learning this year!

Kind Regards

Mrs Kent, Mrs Feher and Mrs Williamson
