Pre-schools’ Update – Week 8

Dear Families,

As we approach the end of Term 2, it is a great time to begin gathering your child’s belongings – such as sunhats, water bottles, jumpers and coats to organise, label and prepare for Term 3.

The upcoming holiday break is also a good opportunity to attend to any uniform needs and haircuts, helping ensure a smooth and confident start to the new term. Additionally, involving your child in simple household tasks over the break can be a great way to support the development of their self-help and independence skills.

During the final week of Term 2, you will receive your child’s learning portfolio. We encourage you to take some time to read through and reflect on the learning journey they have undertaken so far this year. Once you’ve had a chance to review it, please return the portfolio to your child’s class teacher.

Portfolios will remain accessible in the classroom throughout the year for both parents and children to revisit. If you would like to view them at any time, please feel free to speak with your child’s teacher. A final copy of the portfolio will be sent home at the end of the year.

A gentle reminder: If your child is unwell or showing signs and symptoms of being unwell, please keep them at home to rest and recover. This helps to minimise the spread of illness to their friends and teachers and ensures a healthier environment for everyone.

Kind regards,

Abigail McFarlane
Pre-schools Coordinator
