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,
