WOW what a week we had last week. It has been pleasing to see so many
of our children taking responsibility for washing their hands, covering
their coughs and sneezes and making sure they blow their noses and
dispose of their tissues.
Throughout the day the teachers are disinfecting tables, door handles and
play equipment. Can you please make sure you speak with your child about
good hygiene as well as how we can safely greet our friends and teachers
when we arrive at school.
It is very important for unwell children to stay at home. If your child has
a cough, runny nose or is generally feeling unwell PLEASE keep them at
home to stop the spread of germs and bugs in our class. If your child will
be absent remember to let the school office know. You can do this via the
School App.
Due to the Co-Vid19 outbreak we will no longer be having school singing,
liturgies or Masses. We will still focus on our Special Character and have
small class Liturgies. This week we will celebrate The Annunciation (where
Mary was told she would be the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ).
Our focus during play this week will be Music and Visual Art. The children
will be able to create, design and play in this learning area. If you have
any empty plastic bottles, cardboard boxes or a pile of rubber bands you
no longer want could you please bring them to school. We are going to
create sweet music with the things we find around our homes!
We have been so impressed with the children as they practise their
reading at home and at school. You can support your child’s reading at
home by reading with, and to them. You can also help them by encouraging
them to identify letter sounds of different words, a great game to play is
“I spy”.
The teachers have been providing the children with opportunities to solve
Maths problems. The children have enjoyed working together to add and
subtract to solve different problems. An easy way to support your child in
maths at home is to get them to help set the dinner table, ask them to
count the knives and then count the forks. Can they add the knives and
forks together to get a bigger number? Children love Maths when they
can see a real life connection.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and we look forward to seeing you all
tomorrow,
