Important information for the students in 1/2 Green
Home reading
Each child will receive a homework reading folder. They can return their folders when they have read their book. Please encourage children to read on a daily basis. Regular reading is the strongest indicator of academic success.
Homework
Each child will receive a homework folder. Students receive homework on Monday and return homework in their folders on Friday.
Library
Mrs Sharma will teach literacy lessons in the library each Wednesday. Students will need a bag to borrow books. They do not need to have a school library bag. The purpose of the bag is to protect the books. Any plastic or canvas bag will be acceptable. Please encourage your child to borrow regularly. They are also able to borrow from the library every lunch time.
Seesaw
Students will be using the Seesaw learning tool in class. All parents will receive an invitation to join the Seesaw family application. Seesaw is an excellent form of communication between class and home. It also allows students to post and share their learning with families.
Breakfast club
The breakfast club is open every morning from 8:25 until 8:45. All students are invited to sit and enjoy a bowl of cereal, a cup of milk and toast.
Crunch and Sip (fruit break)
We have fruit break every day at about 10:00 to provide our bodies and brains with healthy energy needed for learning. Students can have fruit or vegetables, and water. Please pack fruits or vegetables that are easy to eat in a short amount of time. If needed, cut fruit into small bite size pieces. Students cannot go to the canteen at this time.
Fitness
In 1/2 Green, we have ‘Huff and Puff’ every day. Students are required to continuously run or walk for 6-10 minutes. During this time students are tracking the number of steps they take and aim to improve their fitness. Please make sure your child has a water bottle and hat.
Sport lessons are with Mrs Sharma on Mondays. Make sure your child wears appropriate foot wear.
Absences
If your child is away from school for any reason please call the school, send a message via Seesaw or send a note with your child when they return to school. It is an important legal requirement that the school has explanations for all absences.
Sun Safety
All students are required to wear a hat during play time and class sport. Students who do not have a hat are limited to playing in shaded areas. Please ensure your child brings a hat, with their name on it, to school every day. For hygiene reasons, we can not supply and share hats.
